Still keeping on tho, not relapsing, not taking pills, don't look like the dude, not talking shit about y'all or any of the other aspects of your dream... just limited to my phone, n daily routine not in existence right now... thanks for the concern...

I'll be MIA for a bit... out of town for a couple weeks.

I think what quit-once is saying is that instead of finding alternate ways of dealing with the things you want to change, you're choosing adderall or phentermine which is slightly less than adderall. There are a number of ways of dealing with the challenges that arise in life, and it sounds like the path you're choosing is the "easiest", for now. I don't think its a put down though, that doesn't really happen around here, it was a blunt assertion at worst. There's not a whole lot of sugar coating that is helpful in recovery, folks tell it like it is or as they see it. And it's up to you to determine how you internalize it and what you do with it. The reason why tough love is so good around recovery is because it ideally lights a fire under your ass, to snap the fuck up, smell the coffee and do the right thing. It's like a virtual slap in the face. We're all good at manipulating, and convincing ourselves why the path of least resistance is best, why it's best to put off till tomorrow what we can't muster the strength, courage, enlightenment, balls to do today. Tomorrow never comes, unless we realize that the hard way is the only way. There are a shit ton of folks out there in the world dealing with tough issues. Dealing with weight gain, dealing with having a hard time retaining information they're studying, having a hard time mustering up the courage to go for interviews, having a hard time curbing their appetite or eating healthily, having a hard time quitting smoking, having a hard time getting laid, etc etc etc... and all those folks can choose the way they want to deal with those issues- they can buck the fuck up and be responsible, take the high hard road, or they can succumb to the pussy pansy ass bitch in them and choose the low easy road. Now, I am not talking directly to you Cody. There is middle ground, don't take this the wrong way, but by having to say this and smooth it out, I take the power out of what I was saying- all of a sudden it becomes less meaningful. That's why we don't sugar coat, that's why we call it like we see it, that's why we say what's on our minds. What we're really all trying to do for each other is save each others lives. So, when quit-once recognizes that in your post you say you are having a hard time with weight gain issues, et al, and you choose the meds over dealing with those issues another way, he is saying ergo you are on a slippery slope of addiction, because that is exactly what addiction is: it is making excuses to keep using what is not good for us. You know it's not good for you, that's why you posted on this forum.

nooo more like spirits kind of thing... energy but more external than karma juju would be like black magic, but not necessarily...

watch Vegucated and Forks Over Knives on Netflix and tell me they don't change your life... It's not hard at all, in fact I love the fake meat more than the real stuff. Bottom line is animals are sentiant beings too, and the meat and dairy industry treat them like they're not (to put it mildly), there is no need to eat meat anymore, we can easily live w/o meat and dairy, and I hate to support that industry and the abuse and killing of animals so I can mindlessly consume crap. btw, those two movies are about eating healthy, not so much vivid portrails of animal abuse.

Sweet! that's a great channel, lot's of great videos... thanks!

YAY!!! so awesome to hear(read) such amazing developments!!! I stopped buying junk food, now I can't eat it. Yesterday I wanted a treat, so I bought a 6 pack of Mochi. After my super delish and healthy homemade vegan chili, I decided to have 1. I ate all 6! UGH! so no more treats for me cuz I can't handle it... What's the link to the youtube ab workout??

Good Job!!!!!!!!!!!! keep it up. It gets easier to deal with the urges as you go... soon you'll let them pass unrequited, knowing that they last for a few minutes at least, and if you don't act on them they just go away...

just made the most bomb vegan chili... was crazy crazy good...

that just made me so hungry....!!! I might have to hit a souplantation tonight after the gym.... or Pho sounds really good too... or a DIY salad from like Gelsons or something (but those end up being like $15 w/o dressing!!!!) ... starving.

all I'm saying is that it's nice the way it is... can you imagine how it would be if it were huge, if it were published and written about so that there were simple links folks could click on and sign up and start posting/ trolling/ saying dumb shit like the internet is wont to do? We all SEEKED out this website (like my all caps use of a non word?) we tried to find info, and found this site. And right now it is a damn nice community of folks- we all know each other, quip, look forward to coming here and posting and hanging out... but can you imagine the same site much larger, where you didn't know anyone anymore, didn't like the folks who posted and trolled and said dumb shit... or what if we got 10 new people every day posting their stories...? As it is we get someone new every couple days, and there is enough attention given to them by us that they feel welcome, they like it here, and they stick around... and the amount of spam we get is tolerable and manageable, and it's easy to get to know who's who... etc.... that comes at the price of not hoping for some sort of fame. It's a nice hidden corner of the internet and folks come here by way of their own searching, and seeking, and then they find us with open arms. All that would go away if the media wrote about this site and all of a sudden we were hit with thousands of new folks a day... I think.

you were saying we should make it into a social media place, right? AdderallFace we could call it, or AddFace... Would be fun, def need an iphone app.

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good j o b!!! it gets better every day you're off.....

doesn't appeal to me. This place is sacred like an AA or NA meeting. They don't allow news or media to invade. News and Media is looking for stories, but not out of the goodness of their hearts, it's revenue. So they don't have our or anyone's best interest in mind. I'm not saying I don't believe that the dangers of adderall use and abuse shouldn't be disseminated, but I didn't come here to spread the word to the masses, I came here to get help with quitting, and to give help to others, one on one, not to the world at large.

they definitely have better signatures over there... there's list all their ailments and everything they're taking for them, AND their avatars are pics of cats!! Later guys, I'm heading over to their boards!!!

slightly off topic, but it's crazy the "side effects may include..." lists of medications these days. they're seriously worse than what they're addressing... there's a "sleep aid" commercial for some drug you can take in the middle of the night in case you wake up and have a hard time falling back asleep who's side effects include suicidal thoughts, hallucinations, bed wetting, night terrors, sleep walking, forgetfulness, sweating, headaches, diarrhea, yellow eyes.... I mean, WTF?? why are drugs like that allowed to pass? "I've woken up and now I can't sleep, waaah waaah, give me a pill that will make me sleep, and maybe murder my neighbor and have no memory of it and it's the path of diarrhea drips leading back to my house that get's me caught..."

lol, kit kat bar... yeah Occasional1, I like to eat like that too.... although not the eggs part. Gonna make a kale, orange, apple, banana smoothy right now...

some things are nice when they're complex and multifaceted, some things are great simple. Like craigslist, it's nice that it's remained the same over the years... I kind of feel like this sites simplicity is nice, and to the point. Its bottom line is as a safe place to get and give support, and I think it's easy to navigate and find what you're looking for, especially when you first arrive and aren't familiar with the layout or what's available yet... I like it as it is myself...

I predict a day when the price comes down on those things/ there is an influx of cheap copies, and they're as ubiquitous as GoPros themselves, and every monument, park, attraction, event, is buzzing with them... gonna be as fun as when everyone brought laser pointers into movies...

that is bad ass. I've seen videos from them, but never seen where you could buy them...

"awe yees tharts it gov'vna.... " not sure what accent that is but hey

seems like in honor of those who've been having a hard time and trying suicide, that doing something positive for your life would be a good idea... learning to live a healthy happy life and take the hard way out and learning to deal with triggers, cravings, and emotions in a healthy way. We're the lucky ones, who have found this site, and each other, and get an opportunity to make a choice to lead a different life than the one we've led, that didn't work for us. The unlucky ones go it alone, and succumb to their feelings, and try to kill those thoughts and feelings.
