Hello. I've been crushin & snortin my Ritalin off & on for about 23 yrs now. I get 120 pills a month enough to last me all month. However they only last me like a week & a half. Then I just wait about 3 weeks til I can get it refilled again. It used to be no big deal cuz I don't crave them or go thru withdrawals. I still don't. However I'm finding it harder to function without my pills. So I'd like to go back to takin my normal dose of 4 pills a day so my pills last me all month. I have to do thi9s on my own cuz if I tell my dr he will just take me off my pills. I really do need them for my ADD. My dad gets upset with me cuz my pills don't last me all month. He thinks I should just start takin what I'm suppose to & that's that. I told him I've been takin a lot more pills then I should have for like 23 yrs. I can't just correct that addiction just like that. I was thinkin of decreasin what I take take a day by like almost half. I think I can do that. See I take 20mg 4 times a day. I take 10 pills, split them & snort half every 30 mins is what I used to do. Now I'm goin at least an hr between pills even longer sometimes. Just recently I went over 2 hrs without a pill! To me that's great cuz I know I can do this. If I keep this up I shouldn't have too much longer til I'm down to 4 20mg pills a day. I was thinkin maybe the end of this year! Do you y'all think what I'm doin is a good thing since I have to do this on my own? One more thing I wanna put out there. My addiction is really the snortin not so much the Ritalin believe it or not. I snort any of my meds I can. I even snort vitamin c pills. Ibuprofen, Tylenol etc. I think gettin down to my normal dose of 4 pills a day is the important thing right now. Then I'll work on stoppin the snortin. Sorry this was so long. Thanks for listenin. Take care! XX

So mad at Xfinity! They're trying to charge me $115 per month for the same service I had been paying $50 the last four years. I took the equipment to UPS for shipping and cancelled my subscription today! Next door was a cookie shop called Crumbl. I had heard of it before but never went in until today. I don't need one more sugar fix, but maybe it will help with my sad) grieving heart....$15...
If it were me, I would tell my doctor to sign me up for outpatient treatment. It's almost impossible to quit any addiction, without help, but good luck to you. I really do hope you succeed.
God Bless
