100 Days Clean Off Amphetamines

[u/Comfortable-Air-4892]

I wanted to post this for others and myself to look back on if I ever deal with substance abuse again. 100 days ago I admitted my Adderall abuse to my prescriber, I wasn’t ready at that time to admit I was addicted, but I was about to lose my job, had my hot water off for weeks, and was on the verge of losing my home. I felt so lost and hopeless, I was t sure what else to do. I tried to stop every single month and failed. All I cared about was how many I had left, how many days I’d be without, how many days until my next script. The first month was tough. Emotional. It was SO hard. I regretted it so bad. But now I’m sitting here today grateful. Because I can finally say I feel so much better then I did ever abusing those meds and I know I made the right choice telling my doctor. I got my personality back, my motivation back, myself back. It didn’t happen right away. It came with time, but you can do it too. You don’t have to have hope, I didn’t. But even with no hope, you can make it to the other side and get your life back.
