Hello. I have used weed for most of my adult life, on and off. I’ve also been prescribed adderall at various times. I have a desire to stop using both substances. I was able to quit smoking weed for a year, from January 2025 - January 2026. I told my psych not to prescribe the adderall anymore. But I still some that I saved. I went a month not taking it, but relapsed a week ago. I took it for 3 days and barely slept. Then I didn’t take it for 4 days. And then last night I took some and stayed up all night. I haven’t smoked weed in about a week. I did 90 in 90 last year. And attended and chaired meetings at my home group. That helped me a lot. I’m currently attending meetings daily and sharing. I just got a possible sponsor. I associate with people in NA all day and offer support to others every day. I feel like my recovery is at the best that it’s ever been, but I’m relapsing with more frequency all of the sudden. During the relapses, I pretty much just focus on my recovery efforts. I listen to recovery podcasts, journal, read NA literature, try to figure out how to overcome this. My cravings are not even that that intense, but I still find myself reaching for the adderall. Either way, I only have about 10 pills remaining, so I can’t get too out of control, even if I tried. I’m confident that I’m not going to seek it out after the remainder is gone. But I know I’ll miss it in the beginning. That’s just a small insight into what I’m dealing with lately. I’m looking to meet more recovery buddies and give and get support. Thanks for listening.

Welcome to the community. Just take it one day at a time. You’ve got this.
I think it sounds like you are doing great honestly. And it sounds smart kinda like slowly weening from the adderal until they are gone as opposed to getting rid of them all at once. I guess it just depends on how you are as a person, but it’s good you have in your mind that once they are gone that’s it. Keep up the good work!
