I am so happy without this drug in my body I am a better woman and mother. I am able to attend to their needs now better without it and am teaching myself how to remain focused and alert during the day. It is an adjustment to get used to but it is one that will have benefits for lasting change in the future. If anyone you know is on it ask them if they really need it because it can be so hard on your body and heart.


My heart is in better condition now my body might not look as good as I want to at this point but, I can walk my way to thin. MY medication was taken away from my profile to help someone else and they stole my prescription other times and now its hitting them in the face because I am a better woman off Adderall and more attractive in this personality than being on Adderall. It is a great drug a wonder hit to the body and mind a rush feeling in the morning when you first take the drug. However, I have not ever gotten addicted I was able to gradually come down from it. My liver will be happy, my kidneys, and my body will love me for it.


I stopped taking it the day that was most memorable to me at the end of the month my anniversary from November of 2018; the day I was diagnosed with Leukemia. I have beaten that and off my medication to help my whole body. If you have never been on the drug I advise never to go on it will consume your life and your mind. Its better to be outgoing than an introvert. It makes you isolate a lot and I am more talkative now being off of it. I am thankful for not having many withdrawal symptoms and will continue my walk of sobriety off the medication.


My goals for life are to live, forward the new chapters and put the last 40 years behind me because they are only good if you think overcoming the obstacles of job loss is a good thing, it led me to disability and another crisis center. It has been here where I have gotten the support of Jenn L. that I feel better. She is a positive force here at Anchor House that has helped me with my mornings to have a better mood for the day. Laura is a great friend and I have met some really cool people here. We have our own demons and Skelton's that we are working on to overcome.


I stopped taking this medication for OCS and My family Original Copy Officer Captain Family. I know they wanted me to quit taking it for health reasons. It really was a drug that was changing the way I would do things but, once it was gone I didn't do anything. It was taken away from me from the redebaugh family to give to Lisa and now she is up a crick with no paddles. I hated it at first but, I have taught myself how to focus now and use aroma therapy to help keep me centered. I will have to admit the drug kept the edge of life of now I just drink a lot of diet mountain dew. It has been a long road but, if your willing to see the long term results it is amazing how you can get hooked to the effects not the drug. I pray God sends me angels to keep focused now.


One broke my fall the other day on Sunday I fell hands first down on cement I wasn't aware of my walking on uneven roadway and fell. If I am doing something I love I am able to stay focused otherwise it is a bit harder. What was even more crazy is that my Nurse Practitioner never called me back after being out of the hospital. Its been 30 days since what I know to have quit the drug and am having trouble getting up in the morning but, that could be due to people abusing me and my profile. I wish the good out weighed the bad of them soon enough it will.


I look to the future with greatness and good things will be a result of my actions to stay off the medication I have replaced caffeine with it but, that's not as bad as a substance to be on.

And with that I will, "Do what you can, with what you have, Where you are at"-FDR


To making the best of life I commit to you my sobriety to stay off the drug forever!


I know have to train my brain with my ADHD:
