Big Tiny Steps

For over a decade, I took it as prescribed, but as time went on and the drug became less and less available, I found myself getting batches of pills that were so weak that I’d start going into withdrawals despite taking the medication as prescribed.

I started waking up to the fact that this precsription was robbing me of my most cherished value – freedom.

The Best Way to Learn is to Teach

Time and time again, I’ve found that if I am trying to figure out how to do something I’ve never done before, usually some sort of technical skill, the best way to do it is to write up a tutorial of some sort.

So this is sort of an online “tutorial” in quitting Adderall that doubles as my “accountability partner” where I’ll be journaling my experience moving beyond this dependency.

While I use the word, “tutorial”, this blog is by no means meant as medical advice for others to blindly follow. It’s MY personal experience and what worked for ME. So if you’re reading this and thinking of quitting as well, please consult with an actual medical professional.

Unpolished and Unfiltered

While I believe that clarity is artistry and hope that people anyone reading this would have an easy time understanding what it is I am trying to convey in my posts, it is also of utmost importance that this be an honest and sincere accounting, and coming from a place of “flow” and (hopefully) understandable “streams of consciousness” rather than a planned out instructional course.

So for that reason, and because my time is limited, you are quite likely to find typos, grammatical errors, and sentences that don’t quite make sense.

I realize that little to zero people may ever read this blog.

I have no plans on seriously marketing this website, and if the only thing that it serves to do is help bring ME accountablity and success in my goal of breaking free from Adderall, that’s great, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

Although at the time of this writing, I do know that I have at least 1 reader so far who has left 3 likes, so thanks for that, whoever you are beyond your WordPress.com username!

So with that, if anyone aside from me is reading this, thanks for stopping by, and I hope that this website can be of help in your own journey towards freedom from the grips of Adderall!
