God bless you, you are truly an inspiration.

Thank you for sharing your story. It gave me some hope.

Hi Emily, I'm so proud of you! Thank you for sharing. This video is a big help to me. I'm currently in the thick of the recovery process and it's very difficult. I'm believing I'll one day write a story like yours! Thank you!

Fist! The edit is amazing!!!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️❤️

Thank you so much for sharing your story... it gives me hope... im 24 days clean and so far, all ive felt is despair. Congratulations to you!

Great great great video. I hope you inspire others and I’m sure you have by now!

I’ve had a prescription for 2 months, I’m taking less then what I’m prescribed and like I don’t even take it every day but, I feel like I’m losing my mind, and now I’m having panic attacks, and I’m scared shitless…, so I think it’s just time to do adhd naturally but like god dam…why do they even prescribe this shit… Idk I’m fucking crying as I’m typing this shit, I feel like I’m gnna die…

I’m 70 years old. I have had ADD (without hyperactivity) since I can remember. Obviously I’ve taken my share of stimulants. I took them for years. I think before one can give that stuff up, you have to experience it long enough to begin to see how it works against you, over time. The confused periods, irritability,the times it just dosent seem to do the trick or worse yet, having your doctor retire and having to feel like a junkie getting a new doctor to prescribe it for you. At those points, you have the opportunity to realize you are better off without it. While I’m more distractable than ever, as I get older and don’t take meds anymore, I can always remind myself of those negative aspects and the urge will subside. At this point I’ve been off it for about 7 years and am better off for it. Yes I’m fatter and don’t feel invincible now, but life is more real now. Also I had basicly no withdrawals from stopping. I just cut the dose in half and then down to zero. Even if you are a legitimate ADD pt, after many years I think it’s not a very good solution in the LONG RUN.

Music louder than speech. Could not listen. .

Its not funny but its funny because when normal people take adderall they get ADHD brain. So they take adderall to get ADHD instead of cure it lol.

Holy shit this is so similar to my story and what I’m going through right now I’m stunned

so proud of you! it is day 1 for me and i cant wait to get where you are. thank you for sharing your story with me.

Cool

You helped me out so much! Thank you for saving my life and others who struggle. It's not easy but it's worth the fight ❤️💯🙏🏾

I really needed this video! Thank you for sharing. I’m on day 8 of being sober. Detoxing has been very tough but I will lose everything if I don’t stop. I’ve stopped many times and during those times when I wasn’t dependent on Adderall my life was so amazing!

quit 1 year ago. gained 35lbs+ eat the same workout too. id like to know how you lost weight

Thank you for sharing your story. Very glad you have stopped now- it only gets worse over time when you don’t stop just like addiction. I started at 13 and never stopped until I was 22 and ended up in the hospital with a severed artery and got 70 stitches. I hid it for almost a decade and then boom- could not take it anymore. It feels shameful and stigmatized but it’s not and it’s more common than most people think, definitely not something to be ashamed of. I get comments almost every single day about it because my scars are huge and visible but at this point it doesn’t bother me- never thought that would be true

I teared up..thank you for showing your story. I just embarked on my fitness journey, and it’s helped so much. Seeing this inspired me to keep going. Thank you

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this!!!! ✨🥰💜🎊

Congrats, as an addict myself I know how difficult it is to quit and house city your life becomes when you’re dependent on it. You have all my respect, I’m just a stranger but I’m proud of you

What an AMAZING story and video... Thank you so much for sharing your struggle and your success with overcoming the grips of Adderall. I've recently started my journey into sobriety and this has helped/inspired me more than you know... THANK YOU!

Great story !! Many blessings to you 🙏

Very proud of you!

Thank you for making this. Extremely encouraging.

Hey Emily, I wanted to message you but I don’t know where to.is there any way I can contact you?

Great video!!! Thanks for the hope!!!

Adderall addiction is no Joke! It takes over your life, and having a prescription makes it worse. I've been clean 6 months now and have gained a lot of weight too. This video has inspired me to start working out and start a healthier life for myself, my husband, and my kids. Thank you for sharing. Adderall took 3 years of my life that I'll never get back, but I've taken the first step and have been clean for 6 months and 22 days and it's the best I've felt in years. You're truly an inspiration and it makes me feel better knowing I'm not alone in this. Thank you!!!!

24 days clean and I was thinking of taking one more pill but because of this video. You have given me hope to keep going. This brought me too tears knowing deep down that if stay away from adderall things will get better. Thank you for sharing your journey for many of us who are going through the same. ❤️🙏🏼

Thank you for sharing!! Congrats on falling in love and new job! 16/8 Intermittent fasting and fasted cardio helped me shed so much weight. Thank you again for your adderall video, did natural happiness and motivation come back? I stopped taking it a year ago and still have trouble with feeling excitement like I did when I was on it.

🏋🏽‍♀️🔥

Very inspiring story

Wow, truly inspiring. I needed this. Thank you

Thank you for this video, I’m losing my girlfriend to Adderall addiction. She has changed completely & you inspired me to believe that there is hope at the end of the tunnel. Your video might be able to change her, to quit and achieve sobriety. I will not give up & will try to support her even though she is a complete different person at the moment. I miss the girl I fell in love with. Thank you.

❤️🙌🏼

Thank you Emily <3

Also, congrats! You're a beautiful girl!

I can't get time off from my job to get off Adderall. I don't care about anything until I take my Adderall. Any suggestions?

I don't know what to say... you might have just saved my life. It's been three two years since I've had hope for anything in life. After being put on medications, received tons of counseling and therapy, and after admitting myself to a psych ward, I still find myself overdosing weekly. I just about gave up on myself entirely; however, you changed all of that by giving me a glimpse of light in which I found hope for myself. The fact is, your story is also my story with the only difference being; I'm just a chapter behind. Thank you.

Congrats! Great story! I’ve struggled with Adderall addiction for many years. People don’t understand how powerful this drug is. Keep going!

:)

THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR STORY!!!! <3

This is so inspiring. 💜

Great video and thank you! You should be very proud of what you have accomplished. Can you provide a link to the videos that you reference in this video, that helped you?

why every woman on youtube look so good

Congrats I wish I had the strength you had to quit every time I try I can stand the withdrawals it’s hopeless

Emily, I personally haven't had to deal with this issue before, but I had a friend who did. Just by talking with him you really understood how hard this can be to control sometimes, however, finding a way to live and deal with it makes you a much stronger person than someone who hasn't had to. The fact that you chose to put this out there for everyone to see, shows that you're not only a strong person, you're also very brave. I have nothing but respect for you, and I hope you continue toward better days. A fan from MN.

Thank you... so much...
