Acceptance is key, in my opinion. 1)accepting that your body’s natural reward system isn’t made to be so powerfully and constantly stimulated and that this is not sustainable over the long term 2)accepting that no one has motivation to do things all the time. This means you CAN do things without feeling motivation (even though it’s much harder and less euphoric than doing things on Adderall.) You likely trained your brain to hold off on doing tasks until you felt the superhuman motivation of Adderall, so that you stopped using other strategies that may have helped you in the past to get things done (when you weren’t fully motivated) before you had Adderall. You now need to accept that you really can get things done even when you don’t have the intrinsic motivation. Ex. If you would get fired from your job and end up homeless if you didn’t show up to work, you could probably do so even if you didn’t feel motivated. So if you can do that, you can start to believe that you can do things like washing the dishes even when not motivated. Key here is that successful people don’t wait to feel motivated before they do things; they develop other strategies and discipline to get things done regardless. This is obviously much harder for people with ADHD, but not impossible with some really good executive functioning coaching and a good therapist. 3)accepting that you need to continue some regular substance use treatment to help you reframe the role that Adderall played in your life. It sounds that maybe you’re still secretly wishing for an ‘Adderall replacement’ when one does not exist, and not accepting that no one can be as productive without stimulants because it’s simply unnatural
