ADHD and self-medicating with alcohol

April 22, 2026 · 34 min

Show notes

Today’s episode is a heavy one. I’m opening up about my ongoing struggle with ADHD and OCD symptoms, and why I’m seriously considering medication to make everyday life more manageable. We also dive into a difficult but important topic: why people with ADHD are more vulnerable to alcohol misuse, and how that coping mechanism can quietly take hold. Most importantly, we talk about healthier ways to cope without alcohol.
