    Pt 2: ADHD, Addiction & Finally Getting Answers | Toddla T

    In part 2, Toddla T opens up to Dr Alex about how ADHD is his superpower and how during one of the most successful parts of his career, he was going through the darkest part of his life. After a lifetime of not understanding where his lack of focus was coming from, Toddla was diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood. You’ll hear T speak about his general anxiety disorder, known as GAD, the ADHD symptoms he’s experienced throughout his life, as well as his diagnosis experience and his journey in finding the right medication balance for him. Toddla also shares how his self-soothing with alcohol was in fact the depths of addiction and how he subsequently became sober in order to improve both his health and lifestyle, especially as a father.

    ***To hear this week’s episode ad free and in full, subscribe to BEHIND THE STOMP above*** Last week we shared the final ever episode of The Stompcast. Before we turn the page and introduce what's coming next, we wanted to revisit one of the most important conversations Alex has ever had. Looking back, this episode with Toddla T became a genuine turning point. Hearing Toddla speak so openly about his ADHD diagnosis, his relationship with alcohol and his journey to sobriety planted seeds that would go on to change Alex's own life. It inspired him to seek an ADHD assessment, stop drinking alcohol, and ultimately set him on a path that transformed his understanding of himself. In part one, Toddla reflects on balancing work, family and the pressures of success. In part two, he opens up about receiving an ADHD diagnosis in adulthood, living with anxiety, navigating addiction, and why sobriety changed his life. In part three, Toddla shares the habits and mindset shifts that have helped him build a happier, healthier life, and why understanding himself has changed everything. Whether you're hearing this conversation for the first time or listening back with fresh perspective, we hope it resonates just as deeply as it did with us.
