| Thank you for your kind words. No, I had not taken anything when I wrote that rambling epistle. What you're seeing is a first draft, and since I had to get moving, I had to leave it as such. Recall that I knew how to concentrate before the meds, it just took a lot more energy. I am naturally at my highest mental energy level in the morning. Also, those who know me will attest that my default writing style is pretty long-winded and uh..dubiously organized. If I had gone back to edit it this morning, the wall o' text would have gotten about 1/3 shorter. Regarding recreational use: I cast neither dispersions or judgments on anyone. Speaking for myself, I can't imagine adderall being a recreational drug. For me, it's not a particularly fun feeling, though it helps me accomplish high-focus tasks, and that feels good. And just to be clear: our son gives our lives purpose and meaning. Truly he is the purest blessing to us. |
