Supporting Partner in Stopping Adderall Addiction
Post Body

My partner has a 5 year addiction to Adderall. He's in debt because of it and completely dependent on it to go to work, be in a good mood, stay awake, etc. It's impacted our lives greatly and he's ready to stop. I'm also very ready for him to gain control back over his life.

He's committed to detoxing at home for at least 2 weeks from Adderall nicotine alcohol. He puffs on Loons to deal with stress, pops addy every few hours to stay awake, and then uses alcohol to decompress. It's a cycle he's ready to stop. How can I best support him and myself? Any words of encouragement, tips, level of support/tough love to give, would be so appreciated.

Adderall withdrawal is not something to be taken lightly and he will need a lot of support.

I was on high doses for a couple years and it took me 12 months to begin to more consistently function normally.

It’s a long drawn out process. Except 18-24 months for full healing for adderral.

The poly use complicates things. He needs rehab. No question. Followed by a php.

I’d also suggest narc anon.
