Special shoutout to @adhdwithjennafree on IG for the term 'local sober'.
Research shows that people with ADHD are at high risk for alcohol dependence.
In this episode, I open up about the struggle of using alcohol as a nightly aid to combat insomnia, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm, only to realize the negative consequences it had on my sleep and overall well-being.
Reflecting on my experience during Dry January, I discovered the extent of my cravings and how they misaligned with my values, prompting a reevaluation of my relationship with alcohol.
Tune in as we explore the higher risk of alcohol use disorder among those with ADHD, and what that can mean for us.
In the final segment, I share my approach to embracing "local sober," where I only drink on special occasions away from home.
I recommend resources such as Alcoholics Anonymous, reaching out to a friend, and the Sober Awkward podcast. Additionally, for women, I highly recommend the work of Emily Lynn Paulson and her program Sober Mom Squad.
