Peace and love

I've got a really absurd proposition that could very well fix this problem. It sounds crazy but if you really want to quit, at least with the adderall, then take this advice into consideration. Admitt to your parents that you are abusing the drug, and tell them you want help. That way you can be forced to stay away from it for a while, and by the time your out of rehab, you will be able to stay away if you really care. It does sound absurd indeed, but this worked for me, and i quit taking adderall even though i needed it, all together. I've learned to not be dependent on the drug to do my work for me so to say. Instead i've learned how to cope with it and fight it through. And eventually i was able to pay attention without even trying hard. Now i make straight A's ana B's without it.

This seems to be about the best way to deal with this problem, in my opinion. Especially sense your only sixteen. You will not get in trouble, and it want show up on your perminate record. Your parents should be understanding. Think long and hard about it. I'm pretty sure you'll see it's worth it. Hope things turn out well, peace.

 

I'm addicted to ciggs and poetry.

 

Cigarettes and gatorade...... Don't feel strong enough to ever quit gatorade....

 

lol my mom knows i do and shes the one that gives it to me....personally i love the feelin....idk...

 

Are you sure about this? The rest of your post reads like you do think it's a problem.

Addictions have two sides, the initial feeling and the aftermath, the weight on your conscience. There's not one addiction that is a good one, to be addicted means to be overpowered by an urge, that means you are not in control and that something(that which you are addicted to) is persistantly tagging you along and you have a compulsive need to follow it.

That's not to say being addicted to something makes you a horrible person. But most people would truly like to be able to decide wholly what they will do.

 

compulsion - obsession ect are not phisical addiction ......if your 16 , you could be addicted to nicotine . , but the longer you smoke , the worse it chains you down ......cigs , alcohol , benzos , barbituates , and opiats like oxys n heroin .....theese are physicaly addictive ..... coke is like an obsession , ,but people realy get so they think they must do tons of it 24/7 ....thats worse than havint to do heroin so you wont be sick . its a lot easier to quit smoking tobaco now , in a few years it could prove to be an almost impossible task .....dont be stupid like me .......and that adderol is basicaly no different than meth ........so doing it is bad for the body n brain n such ...........its realy horrible to need stuff just to be normal ......and even though you havnt done any in years , you can still crave it and its very easy to readdict yourself if youve already been there ....be smart , stay free ....

 

yea i guess it would be better to call it an obsession rather than an addiction... because its not,like i WANT to do adderall its i enjoy it... i dont get in to the other drugs thou is wat im sayin....so i dont see anything wrong... yea its bad for younger peoples hearts...and it does eff wit ur head thinkin that u/i enjoy it so much that i just feel like its a fun thing and i feel....idk wat i feel i just enjoy the feelin.... and its not that i dont think i need a ton of it 24-7 i just do it when i feel like ehh wat the helll....u guys will learn i can be a really sweet girl but i have a twisted way f lookin at things.... idk...this makes no sense so sry if u guys dont understand...

im just a lil crazy i promise! lol
