It will take a few months to reset your brain and you will possibly have some long term damage but it won't do anything but get better.
I think if you focused on eating right and getting some good exercise daily you could speed the process up a lot.
Also you might want to do some memory training exercises online.
You sound like your doing great 
Just keep it up

When you think about it, your brain is mostly water and is also the most complex entity known in the universe, it also defines everything you are and do. Putting chemicals in it is going to harm it. It's the risk you take, and is probably why you should limit intake to naturally occurring hallucinogens if you want to mess around.
Life is extremely complex, beautiful and fun. Don't throw it all away for some highs. Be sensible.
I think your cognition will improve in the coming years if you abstain. It was probably mostly the adderall.

When I got sober I realized I couldn't slow my mind down in order to think clearly, which was one reason I did a lot of drugs to begin with, because it allowed my mind to process information easier, rather than being overwhelmed with stimuli.
With some things I am a savant, with other things a fucking idiot, c'est la vie.

Drugs I take now are all legal, and usually for breathing help when running, like L-Citrulline, and Tianeptine, both are great for running because they help you breath easier. I smoked for years, smoke meth for a couple years, crack a handful of times, cigs for a long time, so my lungs are a bit fried, but haven't smoked anything in a long time, but still feel the damage. Those two substances have really helped me breathe easier when running.

I first found out about L-Citrulline from eating lots of watermelon since watermelon is full of it, every time I would eat it I could breath better if I ran later that day, so put the two together, and it's really helped.

OP stop hitting yourself over the head with this.
What's done is done. Realize that you're WAY better off compared to people in those circles that kept using, who keep putting that shit in month after month, where you have stopped and started taking care of yourself.
Meditate, move, breathe, learn to still your mind by prolongued focus on breath, reconnect with your body and develop that awareness of what's around you, in a year or two you'll have longer attention span than the vast majority of your peers, probably better retention rate and so on. Just keep going with the healthy nutrition and action / rest cycles.
Keep putting those neurons through proper challenges and nutrition, oxygenation and move to have the lymphatic circulation to support them, and you'll be awesome in no time.
Here, bonus info. Enjoy

Hey you can do it totally man, especially if you are interested in electronics. If you're into physical labor you could make a living at it. If you looking to start a business or become some sort of engineer you could end up making alot of money.
Most places have a shortage of qualified people in industry jobs. If you get a degree in electronics that will look really good to potential employers and you can expect a minimum of $15/hr if you're willing to show up and learn. Honestly the stuff in school is just busywork for the most part, but as long as you have an interest it will be ok. It is mostly about appealing to employers and finding one who will give you a position where you can learn on the job.
That is my advice at least. I mean if you can operate the shroomery and noodle your way around you're smart enough. Just keep at it and before you know it you're be nutting wires and soldering doohickeys with the pros.
I watch alot of reverse engineering, product teardown, tech showcase stuff on youtube. Let me know if you want some links. Much better than class for me at least. I mean for me the good classes in community college are someone with some experience in the field with limited skill in teaching just kinda running through a lesson plan and trying to impart wisdom when they can squeeze it in behind the busywork. You can get that for free online if you have interest, or even better get payed to learn in the workplace.

Benzos really do cause cognitive impairment that can be long term if abused long enough.

Do you eat RC's? Just curious, because that would be funny for someone that consumes RC's to say.
I see lots of people that say don't trust big pharma, then they order shit loads of chems from some lab in China, seems legit.

I knew a guy that was always on bars, dude was always slurring his speech, totally wasted on benzos, driving around like that. So that guy got clean from them, but he never got his speech back, it remained slurred.

Nootropics are worth looking into if cognitive impairment is a concern.

Just, ya know, if you want to trip, trip on mushrooms or DMT or other natural things, because perhaps those receptors are there for that reason, since reality is obviously designed (in my experience).
And do it very occasionally.
So much to lose . . . life is just, wow.
The brain is NOT meant to be supercharged and it's NOT meant to artificially dump neurotransmitter stores into the synapse for 2 hours of ridiculous joy.
I understand if you think it's fun to take MDMA and other stimulants, or downers, but it should be like an accident that you do once then you forget about it, but remember fondly.
I don't really understand how the regular users of stimulants and downers + more on this site expect to live their lives when they're finished. Their brains will create an entirely empty reality from all the damage.
Been there. Know what I'm talking about.

I abused the shit out of drugs all the way through college, and knew a lot of other very smart people who did the same. The most damage I've ever seen done by a drug was alcohol, and everybody does that anyway.
I don't think that long term drug use has a major impact on cognition or intelligence, but it may have a long term positive impact on creativity and resourcefulness.

Oh it definitely does, but some of us are too smart for our own good so we need to take drugs to even out the odds between us and everyone else. It's only fair.
