This is my first time here. I'm glad to be here, hope I can encourage and be encouraged. I'm really struggling with abusing Rx drug Ritalin. I've been prescribed it for years but I'm not taking it as directed. I'm afraid I'm addicted or at least overly dependent on it. I want to gain control and take as directed or just quit entirely. I'm so angry at myself and have so much shame. Thanks for listening.

I hadnt thought of the P.A. Group, but will look into it. That sounds promising. I know I should discuss this with my doctor but, to be honest, I am avoiding doing so. Thanks you guys for your suggestions, thoughts, and support. Just admitting it here has helped.
