You can play around with it and edit it to get rid of the url I bet. But the 5 months free looks pretty awesome whether its a boot or a palm tree...

at 1 week, just take it one day at a time and celebrate small victories. rest and recover as much as possible

just looked it up. watching their videos now, haha. never heard of this band

Well said LILTEX. Thank you so much for sharing!

Congrats man!! Huge accomplishment! Now that you are feeling strong again with resolve, go root out any possible access you may have in the future and burn those bridges to the ground! Soon we'll be celebrating your 10th month clean!

i never ahve felt compelled to take it more than once in a while so i feel safe taking it once in a while. the last time i took it was when i started this thread. i've had the bottle for almost a year now and have only taken it about 6 times. honestly it's too intense for me. Also, heed very carefully the words of Quit-Once: More is not better If you take more thinking it will be better, you're going to have a REALLY shitty day. But yeah I don't think it's a supplement that is intended to be taken every day. You probably would build a tolerance. I think it's best to take once in a while. Like if you've been in a shitty mood for a week straight and just can't take it anymore.

OMG!! congrats!!! so happy for you!

The message is as clear as the analogy. Hope you find a solution. Let us know if we can help in any way!

one will do absolutely nothing for you but make you crave 1000 more

Start with gentle stuff, like just some yoga poses on your living room floor, core strengthening and stuff. Wall pushups. They feel so good! But yeah you will get there. That's great about your food!

Of course you shouldn't! Get rid of any possible source of it from your life. Don't go down that road please!!!!!

I'm naturally an introvert. Adderall at first made me more extroverted in the short term. In the long run once I started abusing I was back to extreme solitude and loneliness. I'd say I'm back to being pretty balanced now in comparison, but still more introverted than I was before adderall. At about my 5 month mark last year, I had a lot of friends scratched off my list, and was very very introverted by default. As for energy, hows your nutrition and exercise going? Exercising is like hitting the gas on the recovery wagon. It speeds it up a lot, and helps make you feel true joy again, even if it's in really small doses at first.

Yeah i tried one of those $300 or less machines. They are terrible. You read the specs and think "hey, still sounds a heck of a lot better than my old machine" but the industry is rigged so that you will always have to spend more if you want a decent experience. The computers that cost < 300 are just so crappy they can't even properly handle the operating system that comes installed on them. Glad you got something you like!

i remember the first time i had one, and it made me superman for a whole day (even after it wore off i was a machine, just a tired one) i remembered thinking "Holy fuck, they get a whole bottle of these things every month? They must have TONNES extra..." i had no idea how it actually works and neither do they. fuck em all, and quit. the ones who are your true friends will understand

i was the same way, bought off dealers and friends for 3 years. my friend charged me his own price, what he was paying, rounded up to the nearest dollar, but the dealer I knew took advantage of me and kept jacking up the price

our chat about full moons interfering with sleep was the first i had ever heard of the topic. i thought you were joking at first actually but then i looked into it and there's actually something to it. in fact i spoke to people at work that day and many of them said they barely got any sleep at all that night

glad to hear you had a better day, you've earned it! there will be more in the future I agree with this 100%

This sounds all too familiar to me. It sounds like you know you need to quit and have decided to do so. What's the plan, and how can we help you? Welcome to the forums! EDIT: Sorry I didn't read your post properly when I woke up this morning. I think most of the users here agree that cold turkey has been the easiest way to quit. Best to clear your schedule for a week and get ready to just hang out in bed with freezer food and snacks to munch on to try to soothe the withdrawals. The first few days are going to suck, but if you go easy on yourself and just escape into netflix land it's bearable. That being said, some people have successfully tapered, and that method has its advantages. Being a binge user myself, tapering was not an option. As soon as you feel up to it, get your body moving again (start with gentle exercise) and try to give your body nutritious foods. You can get through this for sure. Check out the articles on this site, they are great and full of helpful information and encouraging words. Post back lots to let us know how you are doing. We're all in this together!

Wow. Scary articles, it was like going through a trip down memory lane.

almost got 3 performable songs put together! next week I'm going to give them a try at a local watering hole! will post back to let you guys know how it goes!

Tinkering with electronics is incredibly mentally draining. I used to take apart Nintendo Wii's, Playstations, Xbox's etc, and solder in modchips in them for friends and stuff way back in the day. Now I just don't have the energy/focus for it. Maybe you dont want to do it now because you weren't really all that interested in it to begin with, or maybe you were but you just don't have your drive back yet. Time will tell. But if it was really something you were/are passionate about, I'm sure you will get back into in due time!

Whee made it! Have hardly thought of adderall this last month. I certainly set myself back but all my work last year was not in vein. I got it together this time for sure. I feel like as far as my laziness factor goes, I'm definitely barely at the 60 day mark. I hardly get any work done and I'm surprised I haven't been fired from my job. But psychologically, as far as cravings go (this is what I was really afraid of) I haven't had any yet, and as far as happiness, well lately I feel like I'm back where I was right before relapsing (well last few days have been good anyways, mostly because of the beautiful weather we're suddenly having). It's good that I didn't let it go on any longer than I did, it could have led to total destruction. One nice thing about being a loner during recovery, is I have cut out a lot of the people in my life who weren't really good for me. I don't mean bad influences as far as drugs go or anything, but just people that don't reciprocate friendship at all. I've pretty much cut them out of my life and I've made a couple of new friends and gotten quite close with someone who used to be just an acquaintance. Sad that I won't see them much in a few months when I move, but the little things still matter.

Can't wait until you're done the stress so you can start working on your recovery! We'll be here.

wow so you're a couple weeks away from the 5 month point!! that's so awesome! I recall a really rough patch between 4-5 where I almost felt like I was starting to feel worse than a month or so prior. Around the 7th month mark I noticed a huge improvement, and the first time where a week or so went by without even thinking about the drug. There is light at the end of the tunnel man. Just try to remember how amazing you are for quitting. btw, nice avatar.......... *switch to jesse voice* bitch!

When people say it takes years to fully recover, it's important to understand that doesn't mean you're going to feel shitty for that whole time. You're going to notice massive improvements constantly along the way. Hang on to that Sunday, because it's coming back. Next time it might last for 3 days though, then you might have another crappy week again after. But the overall trend is that things are going to be improving for you. Keep posting when you feel shitty. Also, I highly recommend getting a ticker. It's really satisfying to count the days and constantly be reminded of how close you are getting to your next milestone. It gives a tiny little bit of short term validation that our dopamine deprived brains so desperately need.
