Notalone--I am so glad to read that you have a 12 step book about ADD. I tried to find one via google a few weeks back but came up empty. I doubt my wife would use it but I am trying to learn as much as I can about ADD. Can you…

My wife exercises at the gym 2X/week for 90+ minutes (swim and stationary bike). I know she would like/benifit from 3-4 X/week if schedule allowed. This is needed for her to do anywhere close to well as I see it. Both of us would be better off…

Danielle-I used to think ADD folks were lazy. I learned by reading and studying that this is untrue. I also read in a book from the library that clutter--could be large or small amounts in my opinion--creates "visual stress" for the…

Jim replied to Notalone's discussion 'a few words'
Danielle and Notalone--I really enjoy and get comfort from the way you open up and share how you are dealing with ADD stuff head on. I am the non-ADDer (relatively) in our house. I so wish my wife would get involved with this site but I am hesitant…

Jim replied to scattered's discussion 'Getting out the House on Time?'
The thing that I like about what you wrote is that it shows some knowledge of self and  the ability to use that knowledge to develop stategies and rewards for self to change that with which self is dissatisfied. Did you have a coach help you…
