With any addiction, we need specific help. I went to 12 step programs starting back in 1989. I’m not sure I could have made any progress dealing with ADHD if I was still in the grips of all the other addictions that beat me up before I came here. There’s no way to know of course.

None of us think 100% of what’s on TV is crap. Just a lot :-)

The pain of lonliness is the monster that ADHD creates. That monster also leads us to addictions. If you keep reading all around this site, you’ll find lot’s of compassion. It comes in many different forms. Remember lot’s of people here really know how you’re feeling.

I hope you stick with us more when life gets harder, remember to be gentle with yourself when you need to be. It matters a lot to us all how you’re feeling. Slow baby step progress is good enough progress. I’ve gone backwards several times since I’ve been here. But I did stick with this place. Mostly cuz people here sorta force fed me the compassion I needed when I wanted to just give up and leave.

Sometimes the videos, especially the funny ones are the medicine that helps me when I can’t stand to read any more. You’ll know what’s best for you when you discover it. Maybe try surfing around and looking at the blogs by Dr. Jain and Rick. I still find new stuff here, like the links to more ADD web sites I just found a few days ago. Click on Tools, then click links.

Hey!, I just clicked edit post the 3rd time because I didn’t realize how many links they have here before. Really cool resources! and I’ve been beeboppen around this place for about 8 or 9 months I think… Maybe check those out too.

Good luck Lady Friend :-)
