My wife told me this morning that I’m very difficult to live with. I have no reason to doubt her. She’s unhappy because I got lost walking in the neighborhood the other day and she was concerned about me.
I explained to her that I was totally safe. I had my cell phone. If I’d been willing to stop walking I could’ve found my location and a map on my phone, or I could’ve called her. Or even called 911.
I wasn’t willing to stop walking; that would’ve defeated the purpose and seemed weak.
But getting lost was actually a blessing because I went twice as far as my goal!
My wife says I’m stubborn.
Can you believe that?

Bonus Note o the Day
With ADD ADHD we tend to substance abuse, with a higher percentage than vanillas. Our drugs of choice tend to be uppers – cocaine, amphetamines. Studies show that we do not tend to abuse our medications if we truly have ADD ADHD and that while addiction can occur, it is rare.
There is a problem with college students misusing the stimulants.
Extra note
The above are my opinions, based on studies I’ve read about. If someone can offer citations and references, I will be happy to publish them, even if they disagree with me. Thank you.

Stubborn? I don’t believe it. Not stopping makes sense to me. I guess we ADDers just think differently than the rest of the folks. I’m ok with that.
P.S. But that doesn’t mean we’re easy to live with. Oh, well. We make life interesting.

homey – there’s no argument that we think differently! and I’m gonna keep doing it too, you can’t make me change (ie stubborn). And yes, life is certainly interesting. I wouldn’t mind just a little less interest.
Thanks for the comment.
