Substitution

If you want to use a different word or phrase instead of "adamantly," you can consider:

• Firmly: This indicates a strong belief but may not carry the same intensity as "adamantly."
• Resolutely: This suggests determination and is similar, but can imply a more rational decision rather than an emotional stance.
• Unwaveringly: This emphasizes not changing one's position at all and is very similar in meaning to "adamantly."

Choosing these words can slightly change the tone of the sentence but keeps the idea of being determined and strong in one's beliefs.
