ADHD and Chemsex Addiction

Let me be vulnerable with you: 

I've discovered lately that I sometimes invalidate the experiences of others.

And if you follow my content, you'll know how much I've advised you not to invalide the experience of others.

Because, what we judge becomes our karma (our learning opportunity). 

In other words, whatever or whoever you are pointing your finger at is exactly where you could use healing. 

And, well, I've been pointing my finger at people who identify as having ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).

I admit that I've based my opinion about the disorder on a close friend of mine. That's some serious projection.

And it isn't fair to you out there living with ADHD.

Today's podcast will explain more about what I mean and my observations about ADHD treatment.

As always, my friend and supervisor, Daniel Gilsenan helped me shift my perspective. And later, as I reflected on our converation I realized that I had been narrow-minded and judgy. 

This is why I love doing this work. I learn so much about myself in the process.

And I hope you learn something new after listening to the podcast this week!

Research shows that 14-23% of individuals with substance use disorders also meet the criteria for ADHD.

Understanding these connections provides valuable insights for your recovery journey.

Next Level Ammend Making
  What if the traditional amends process is just the foundation, and there's a whole other level of transformation waiting? Hey y'all, Let me start by saying this: If you've done traditional amends work in a 12-step program, that took courage. Real courage.
