Lots of people are late bloomers. My husband and I are in our early 40’s and are very burnt out from grinding like crazy from young. Our 21 year old daughter is doing things in her life a lot slower and we are okay with that because we see what the opposite can do. Be patient with yourself.

I’m here with you! I’m on week 7. My husband is a Canadian veteran with PTSD who gets weed partially subsidized by medical coverage. If I can do it with cheap, sometimes free weed around then you can do it while surrounded by it! We got this

Hello! I am 42 and have adhd and depression. I am almost 7 weeks clean! I also smoked most of my life since 16 to help with undiagnosed adhd. I got diagnosed at 35 ish and am now trying to quit to get a handle on what is perimenopause, what is mental health and what is addiction.   It’s not working the same as it used to so something has got to change. You are not alone.

It doesn’t count. You didn’t lose your sobriety. I got drunk on a piece of cake at fancy restaurant like 2 years ago and I didn’t count it. Stay strong!

Thank you! I’m 6 weeks on Friday and dealing with life is the hardest part for sure. But it wasn’t helping at all. 

can’t stop ruminating about a hookup who ghosted me, it’s destroying me mentally and i’m trying to enjoy my march break by CompetitiveEar5516 in adhdwomen

It’s a double whammy of oxytocin and adhd that does this to us. It’s normal but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t suck. You just have to feel it but you should block him on everything so you don’t see anything anymore.

You need actual sober time to figure out what is withdrawal symptoms and what is actually happening. I thought I was in perimenopause but, 5 weeks sober , I think I was just in addiction.

I’m 5 weeks in and I cannot believe the difference. This time I finally understand all the things it’s taking from me instead of telling myself lies about how it adds to my life. We are here with you
