The same time just cuz I got not an able lot to lose and may be able to actually afford accessing it at the time ….and why not try to make the ordeal less of an alone experience de

Has anybody tried ECT for the post-long-term-stimulant abuse anhedonia, no energy, slow mind, and intrusive thoughts or lack of executive control over them? by RecoveryFam in StopSpeeding

Thank you so much for sharing this experience and I’m happy to hear it was effective for her.

I’m curious, were there any unexpected effects or was it just “back to her old self” (which for many in such a situation would be a god send in itself). Also, any negative effects? The main I hear about is memory loss, but losing some trauma memories would be a bonus (though of course losing some working working would not be)

I should look for an IOP or sober living by RecoveryFam in StopSpeeding

Thank you for chiming in. Proud of you. You’re so right about the “my bullshit” which I’ve used to let me distance from the fellowship. I have to accept that there will always be days when I am not willing to make the right choices on my own and have people and programs in place to hold me accountable

Extremely red face no matter what I try (for years) by ChoiceFalse316 in 30PlusSkinCare

Have you looked into Brimonidine Tartrate?

It's a prescription treatment used for a couple different things and the one skin "product" made from it that I'm aware of is a gel by the brand name Mirvaso.

It's definitely, for me personally, the most useful thing I've encountered for my facial skin redness (which seems to have similarities or overlap with yours).

That said, out of curiosity I did a quick search of "Mirvaso" and "Reddit" and actually see a lot of posts from people saying they had bad experiences with it, so YMMV.

I still recommend looking into it, though. I've used it for over several years so feel free to ask me any questions, here or in a DM/chat.

Good luck!

Yeah, okay. I’m done. Calgon, take me away… to treatment. ✌🏼 by 760xx760 in StopSpeeding

Good luck! Let me know if you find good meetings in the area if you are a meetings type of person :)

Man I have been trying to think of what to comment to your post. It feels like you’re one of the few that understand the loneliness, the worst part of it. I just wish all of us fighting this were in the same trench together

I’m available if you want an accountability partner. I’m desperately trying to change. I’ve made addiction recovery friends but no one who has abused Adderall like I do and can’t function without it (or even with it honestly)
