Dareus returning, his rehab activity detailed

[Mace]

I'm not going to say anything negative about the whole thing again as I have before, because I genuinely want him to succeed, and I'll be rooting for him to do so as it plays out.

Notable, his treatment was for his ADHD, and Bruce Smith is mentoring him. The lengthy article is worth the time to actually read it.

Instead, Dareus, 26, received treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), amid efforts to build a new network of support that he sees as crucial to keeping his life and career in order.

"Rehab" for ADHD sounds like code for "Adderall addiction" does it not?

Well, if you read the whole article, the idea is that is ADHD was thought to be the root of his other issues, and they went after that as being the driving force of his problems. To me at least it sounded like not the drug, but the condition itself.

Besides that I wouldn't even try to guess.

maybe he was just smoking pot

Re: Dareus returning, his rehab activity detailed

I'm just happy to have him back. He sounds motivated and hungry. Hopefully he's matured and this doesn't continue to be an issue.

I'm still close with my Mom and Dad, my best friend and I still talk once a week, my closest mentor is still a good friend - we have dinner a few times a year, and my brother is still alive.

I can't even comprehend what my life would look like if all those people died.

Dude's had a rough ride. I hope he figures it out. Demons in your head with money in the bank is a bad combo.

Nailed it.

My folks, best friends, best loves, mentor are all gone, but my best years are past. Looking back, I don't want to imagine who I'd have become without them when I needed them to keep me grounded as I was becoming the best I would be when I could. I still hear them when things are worst, from years of their wisdom, I know what they'd say in knowing me well. I was fortunate enough to have them for decades into being an adult.

I can't comprehend a life without them either.

Demons in your head with less income is a worse combo, and I hope Dareus makes it.

Side effect of Adderall is loss of appetite and weight loss.

Sounds like bullishlt.

So are diarrhea and constipation, so unless you're following him to the crapper you have no way of knowing what, if any, side effects he is feeling.

At the moment, I'm not buying his story. Let's see if he can keep on the field and out of trouble.

Adderall is not habit forming.

Re: Dareus returning, his rehab activity detailed

Adderall is not habit forming.

Actually it's highly addictive. Still not sure he was abusing it though it's not really beyond possibility. In theory you could want him to change the root of his disorder to wean him from the drug but that's all way off into conjecture.
