I am proud to say I haven't used since that slip. I've continued taking my Wellbutrin which does seem to be helpful with not only the Adderall craving but effortlessly I have no desire to smoke cigarettes- I was told it may help but to be fair I have always been a social smoker rather than an everyday user unless I was taking Adderall. I feel sluggish and colloquial/ illiterate in comparison to my normal stilted verbiage I would typically speak. I crave Marijuana, I have never been one to smoke it but I have felt a sudden desire for it would this be something I should open myself up to or behoove me to stay away from virtually all recreational use of anything..? Any thoughts..? 8 days C&S

Personally I'd recommend against another drug that you could also get addicted to, especially so early in recovery. Nice work on the 8 days!

I'm with Scott on this one. It's freaky how quitting our drug of choice makes us crave others. A few weeks sober, I had the sudden strong urge to start smoking. Thankfully the picture of a 41 year old woman suddenly picking up cigarettes stopped me. It's normal for your brain to want SOMETHING to replace what you were doing before. Don't do it, it opens you up to a host of new problems.

This won't last long, and you will be so much better off not messing with another substance.

@Wehav2day @scottfromwi I'm extremely achey and in pain accompanied by fever and chills. Is this normal after Adderall detox. It's really bad almost flu like.?

Also drenched in sweat when I wake up??

This along with a aching is quite normal in withdrawal from my own experiences, but if in doubt, always best to seek the help of a Doc

Congrats on your sobriety!
