6 months without adderall and I still can’t work

Been 6 months since my last dose of adderall after being on it for 2 years. I quit because it was enabling other addictions, alcoholism and nicotine mostly, and was affecting my heart and quality of life. But my job now feels impossible without it. I work from home doing pretty mentally intense computer work and even opening up software feels like immense work without speed. I need to have work done but I have nothing and I’m just stuck in a cycle of stress, unable to DO the thing I need to do. It didn’t use to be like this.

I would really appreciate any thoughts or advice on getting out of a slump like this. I’m honestly considering just finding a new line of work
