ADHD, Alcohol, and the Search for Relief w/ Jennifer Salzman
About this episode
In this episode, Coach Jennifer Salzman discusses the connection between ADHD and alcohol, and shares strategies for managing these challenges.
In this episode, I’m joined by Coach Jennifer Salzman, an ADHD advocate, mindfulness practitioner, and alcohol-free life coach. Jennifer spent years feeling uniquely flawed before receiving an ADHD diagnosis in her 40s. Looking back, she began to understand why alcohol had felt like such a reliable form of relief. We talk about the connection between ADHD and alcohol, why drinking can feel like relief for an overwhelmed brain, and why willpower often isn’t the right tool for change. Jennifer also shares how mindfulness, self-awareness, and ADHD-friendly strategies can help people interrupt autopilot habits and feel more in control.
