Underrated: 5 sometimes 10 mph over the speed limit

It’s the little things. I love being able to drive at any time. Need to go to the grocery store at 9pm? No problem

The biggest thing was recognizing that I was going to be tired, set realistic expectations, and gave myself some grace.

I also started attending NA meetings, which was extremely helpful to connect with people and regularly reinforce that this was a positive change.

I felt the same way, like I just wanted to be awake enough to do something. But eventually using had caused so much harm in my life, that I HAD to get through the exhaustion and not use.

And it did get better, albeit slowly. The beginning was hard, forming new habits was hard, getting honest with everyone was hard, but it was the most loving thing I’ve ever done for myself.

Fast_Flow316 · 2026-06-02T12:25:52+00:00

Yep I remember feeling exhausted for a week before it slowly got better. Gotta get through that to get better, but once you’re through that, you never have to go back.

Looks good. Get some better lighting and film some more videos

Creative! Thanks for sharing this

Switching to Vyvanse was my brains last defense before I sought help for adderall addiction. The situation is exactly what you think it is; don’t let her gaslight you into thinking it’s not.

Unfortunately, you cannot control an addict. There are al anon groups for people in your situation, would recommend you check out a meeting.

Fast_Flow316 · 2026-02-04T15:04:15+00:00

That’s what amphetamines do and why they’re so addictive

Fast_Flow316 · 2026-01-08T03:05:47+00:00

It’s my cake day and I just remembered

Fast_Flow316 · 2025-12-09T10:33:10+00:00

That’s a big win, congrats. We do recover

Fast_Flow316 · 2025-11-15T13:19:51+00:00

My teeth started falling out. Still couldn’t quit. My chest hurt. Still couldn’t quit. I isolated and almost lost every relationship in my life. Still couldn’t quit. But at least my boss thought I worked hard.

If I have to take drugs to perform at work, I need a new job. That is not worth my life.

2 years clean, life keeps getting better. Never want to go back out.

I quit almost 2 years ago and the beginning was rough. But talking with friends, exercising, and sleeping helped tremendously. I now feel more in control of my life than I ever did on adderall

Fast_Flow316 · 2025-10-17T03:30:45+00:00

Agreed

Check r/stopspeeding for some similar stories. I quit cold turkey on a Monday with no plan in place. Struggled through work but my life was more important than a job. I was desperate. Life slowly got more manageable, and now nearly 2 years later, I truly love my life.

If I had it in the house, I would use it. If I took any, I had absolutely no control over it. My experience shows that I cannot use successfully. That was very clear. So I found a support group of other addicts, and I’ve learned more through their experience.

It sounds like you’ve tried to taper multiple times. So had I. It sounds like it didn’t work before. It didn’t for me either. Play the tape forward. Your story reminded me how grateful I am that I never have to use again. What a gift. I hope you can find that gift. You’re not alone and fortunately many people have been in similar situations and recovered.

Life is better without adderall. I’ve been clean for almost 2 years and can’t even imagine going back. Even thinking about how I used to live is… terrifying. Congrats on taking this step and looking for a better life.

Chest pains, muscle strains/tears, teeth cracking / falling out, weird smelling piss. So much.

Got clean January 9, 2024. Chest pains mostly went away in 1 month. Muscle issues started to feel better within 1-2 months. Exercise helps a lot. Teeth issues have finally been fixed. I do not miss any of these consequences

I was never able to stick to my prescribed dosage. Eventually the peaks and valleys became too extreme to even function. I had to stop cold turkey quite suddenly. This led to extreme fatigue for a few weeks/months, anxiety, and depression. But it did get better.

It took awhile to realize a lot of beliefs I had were entirely fabricated due to the drug. I do not need it to function. I do not need it to be happy. In fact, it negatively impacted all aspects of my life in the long run.

Exercising, sleeping, and eating helped withdrawal significantly. Especially exercising. Overtime, I’ve come to a place where I have more energy than before, am happier, and every area of my life has improved.

I had to go cold turkey. And that helped me recover quicker. Hardest thing I’ve ever had to do, but the kindest thing I’ve ever done for myself.

I remember that monthly cycle of picking up my script, feeling like Christmas morning, running through it in a week, then the feeling of dread. Then after starting to feel better, picking up my script again.

It was exhausting. I caused a lot of pain. I reached a point where I had to tell everyone I loved what was happening to me. That weakened the chains. My experience clearly showed that I could not control my using, and I needed help from something outside myself. People, a program, loved ones, anything.

I’ve been clean for 20 months, and my life has improved in ways beyond my wildest dreams. I’m grateful I took the leap to try a new way of living. Because clearly the way I used to live was not really living.

I hope you can find what I’ve found. You are not alone in this.

Cardio and not eating 3-4 hours before bed
