Adderall and Apple Arcade

Adderall is an amazing drug/medication. I'm using it today, after taking a few days off, because I hate using Adderall. However, after using Adderall today, I understand that I need Adderall.

A little background...

I'm an alcoholic. I've been abstinent for more than nine years. I'll never drink again.

With that being said, I'm hypervigilant with my usage and dosage. I don't want to be sucked into another addiction. I won't be sucked into another addiction.

It's interesting. After I got sober, I started playing video games again to get those dopamine hits. I've always been a---gulp---gamer, but I know I'm addicted to them.

I recently bought a new iPad and an Xbox controller. Within the past few days, I've rediscovered Fortnite.

I've been a Halo guy for decades. I'll always be a Halo guy. I will not buy a new Xbox console because I can't get sucked back into that world.

I'd resisted Apple Arcade for years but found LEGO® Star Wars™ Battles last year, and I've become addicted. The problem? The developer, TT Games, has seemingly abandoned the game. As a result, I've recently started playing MARVEL SNAP, which is a lot of fun, but it's not a first-person shooter. Pew, Pew... Pew, Pew, Pew!

Here's the point: When I'm using my Adderall, I have little interest in playing video games. I am more interested in getting things done. The proof is in the pudding.

In the last week or so, while using Adderall, I installed an entire set of LG kitchen appliances. I'd never done that before, and if I weren't using Adderall, I never would've started the task because my normally abnormal brain would've been too worried to tackle such a monumental task.

When I'm not using Adderall, I worry. I worry because the options are endless. It's a perpetual if statement. When I'm using Adderall, I can concentrate on individual tasks.

If I weren't using Adderall, I wouldn't have completed this post because my brain wouldn't have been able to complete a coherent thought without wandering away to La La Land. I would've been doing bits and pieces of multiple tasks until I'd given up. It's been a recurrent theme throughout my adulthood.

If you're an addict and you're worried about Adderall, I promise that there's hope. I have no interest in abusing Adderall. I use Adderall XR because it doesn't satiate my addictive processes; it tampers my addictive processes, which seems WILD.
