Ep345 – ADHD and Alcoholism with Annette and Jason

About this episode

Jason and Annette discuss their journey through alcoholism and ADHD, highlighting the challenges and recovery process.

For Jason, alcohol provided clarity for his fuzzy thoughts and lack of clarity. His medicinal drinking helped him thrive at work. But his drinking caused stress, frustration, and trauma for Annette at home. She didn’t stop digging until they found answers, and now they are moving forward on a path of recovery from dual diagnosis: Alcohol use disorder and ADHD.
