[Bob Kontak]

Four months into no adderal.

Noted changes:

Picked up ten pounds.

Sleep more. Drink less coffee. A touch lazier. I'm 60 but exercise is an option. I'm a poster child for self improvement.

Beers one day and the next I have a hang over that is now not masked with ADD meds. Did not happen before. Historically, hammered in the morning and one hour later, mean but effective.

With beer I still smoke cigs. All other times NO now. Sister is in AA. Went to see my Dad down in Charlotte with her. Did not drink for four days to be fair and had no cigs. Not even an inkling of interest. Also batched at her because her cigs were foul smelling.

Mental function is pretty good. I do miss the later afternoon surge of false energy. I also don't have the horsepower to craft witty responses in threads here. I try but it ain't the same as before. Focus and deep memory access is lessened, at least for now.

I don't hear my heart beat in my ears.
