    Ep 26: Alcohol, Addiction and ADHD

    In this episode of The Clear head Club, I talk about something that has completely changed the way I understand myself: my ADHD diagnosis at 39. For years I wondered why I felt different. Why I struggled with certain things that seemed to come naturally to other people. Why I found emotions so intense, why I chased dopamine, why I struggled with impulsivity, overwhelm and feeling like I never quite fitted in. I share my own story of growing up with undiagnosed ADHD, how it affected me as a child, through my teenage years and into adulthood, and how it played a role in my relationship with alcohol and addiction. I also dive into the science behind ADHD and addiction, looking at how the ADHD brain works, why people with ADHD can be more vulnerable to seeking ways to escape uncomfortable feelings, and why understanding our brains is such an important part of recovery. This episode is about education, awareness and compassion. Especially for young people who may be growing up feeling like they are too much, not enough, or somehow different without understanding why. Getting sober taught me that I didn’t need to escape myself. I needed to understand myself. ADHD does not have to define your life. You can learn how your brain works, build tools that support you, and become the most authentic version of yourself without needing to numb, hide or run away from the difficult moments. If you have ADHD, think you might have ADHD, love someone with ADHD, or you’re curious about the connection between ADHD and addiction, I hope this episode helps you feel seen and reminds you that you are not alone.
