When I made the decision to stop taking Adderall, I saw this as an opportunity to research, understand, and get to the core of why I was actually dependent on taking and/or doing something with which I told myself that I needed. What I found is that this dependence is something that I made up in my mind - and for the fear point, I used this to make whatever I was telling myself true and an excuse not to change.<br /><br />Yes, it would have been easier to replace one addiction with another - this would have not solved anything, though and I would not have actually changed who I am and how I direct myself when I am faced with a fear and the conflict within myself. <br /><br />In the following blogs, I will be sharing how I was able to stop myself from obsessing about Adderall and let it go with group support, an education about addiction from my course work within Desteni I Process, and self-support with writing, self-forgiveness, and self-correction.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08756028377099110138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4401444868098361097.post-7448330295104527042013-06-14T17:18:20.406-07:002013-06-14T17:18:20.406-07:00I am intrigued by your post and your expression of...I am intrigued by your post and your expression of using fear to manipulate yourself. I have met some people who have overcome other addictions with positive addictions to compensate... and I know your like wtf is a positive addiction. One example would be long distance running, this can replace any bodily images you use to reinforce your negative behaviors. running long distance can give you that high you need. it also allows time for you to think alone and reflect without any person around you. the people that have taken up this addiction then become addicted to a healthier lifestyle the grasp for more things to help them run longer. for the drug addictions and energy addictions there are other alternative products that are not drugs they are all natural but effect your body in a positive way and still give you a overall energy boost. if you want any more information on running or alternative products contact me at steashl.vemma@gmail.com Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06576012574338972816noreply@blogger.com
