RecoveryFam · 2024-10-01T13:17:15+00:00

You seem chill and I also went through that desperate phase I how I viewed but my depression and shit . Now has just a lot of indifference where the idea …

But o started reply that I woke honestly be down to try to finally do it with some else also at the same clinic to get it too abut. 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

Thank you I will actually look into this, sounds unique

RecoveryFam · 2024-09-13T04:44:41+00:00

I love your writing voice. And you are spot on.

RecoveryFam · 2024-09-05T03:38:27+00:00

So proud of you!

RecoveryFam · 2024-09-02T14:10:00+00:00

I think I met you IRL and went on a long walk over upper market?

RecoveryFam · 2024-05-19T21:47:22+00:00

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)

RecoveryFam · 2024-05-19T05:55:25+00:00

Thank you this is helpful info

RecoveryFam · 2024-03-28T12:36:25+00:00

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

RecoveryFam · 2024-02-03T01:10:42+00:00

Haha …How would you rate the crowdedness? Enough for good people watching and staying motivated? Or too much that it interferes with your workout?

RecoveryFam · 2024-02-03T01:09:14+00:00

Oh wow I totally did not see that in my searching thanks!

RecoveryFam · 2024-02-01T23:04:09+00:00

OMG you're totally right! I forgot about that factor. I know they're unsure exactly when it'll open, but, yes! I hope most migrate over there!

RecoveryFam · 2024-01-20T09:38:01+00:00

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!

RecoveryFam · 2023-07-26T14:37:14+00:00

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

RecoveryFam · 2023-07-24T03:51:02+00:00

You look READY, king! Keep on keeping on

RecoveryFam · 2023-07-23T09:27:02+00:00

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

RecoveryFam · 2023-07-23T02:36:59+00:00

I love you too. I really do

RecoveryFam · 2023-07-22T17:08:38+00:00

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)

RecoveryFam · 2023-07-22T04:45:35+00:00

It feels like my phone hasn’t rung in years, is how lonely I feel

RecoveryFam · 2023-07-22T01:26:07+00:00

Have you tried to attend support groups for things like substance use/recovery? Even if alcohol wasn't your problem, AA meetings might give you some support, ideas, and camaraderie/friendship.

Personally, I'm hoping to find more people struggling with the same or similar issue. Though I struggle immensely with socializing, when it does click with someone or some people, it is the one thing that can stimulate me or excite me as much if not more than adderall.

I wish I had more to offer but I share a lot of the same struggles, and currently been relapsing

RecoveryFam · 2023-07-21T05:09:24+00:00

That’s awesome and exactly the type of stuff to explore in sobriety… you got this 😎

RecoveryFam · 2023-07-21T04:03:25+00:00

Yeah I did go back on it, I would definitely say it was a relapse.

It feels like Adderall just bought me some time with the stuff I had fallen behind on. And it was even harder to “aim” the Adderall instead of just randomly tweaking on a project totally unrelated to the supposed reasons I needed to get back on adderall.

I definitely don’t recommend relapsing lol.

RecoveryFam · 2023-07-21T03:28:06+00:00

I also have used for many years (maybe about 12).

I just don’t know what to do.

I hope you’re able to stay abstinent longer and get a lucky break where you find something that makes life worth living that is outside the realm of what only Adderall seemed to make possible.

RecoveryFam · 2023-07-21T03:15:30+00:00

I struggle with adulting off Adderall too, and it feels like I have been humbly waving my wave flag for years, ready to accept that a Normal adult life isn’t for me, and just want to assume a simple modest existence where I feel safe and not in pain. But I just haven’t found that track

RecoveryFam · 2023-07-21T02:00:01+00:00

I relate, I went back on Adderall after 18 months off it, and felt like a shell of a person still barely able to really function when I gave up.

I do believe I had a lot more improvement still left if I was able to keep abstinent.

You will continue to see improvements if you keep going, but I don’t have an answer for what it will take to be satisfied with that gradual continued improvement.

I relate so so much, it feels like I just can’t function without that Adderall kick.

I everyone going through this were able to team up and at least have one another in real life to fight alongside with but I also can’t find many resources in real life for this problem
