ADHD and Alcohol with Dr Alex Conner

Sober Awkward - Un pódcast de soberawkward

October is ADHD Awareness Month and for quite some time, our listeners have requested an episode on ADHD from us. To be totally honest we have felt totally ill-equipped to do this important subject justice.Neither Vic nor Hame have ADHD - so in order to fully describe the link between ADHD and Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) - we had to call in an expert - and his name is Dr Alex Conner.Not only does Dr Alex live with ADHD, but he co-founded the UK's Leading Adult ADHD charity, published papers and has been awarded for his knowledge of the subject and he hosts the ADHD Adults Podcast....oh and he is also doesn't take himself too seriously...and he's sober!Not a bad guy to talk to right?!In this fascinating interview, Dr Alex opens up about his struggles with alcohol and drug use, explains his term 'domestic anxiety' and shares his story on how he found his way to sobriety. Hame and Alex covered everything from from bullying, to labels, depression, anxiety and medication.Whether you live with ADHD or not - there is plenty for you learn and unpack from this conversation.We could not be more grateful for Dr Alex sharing his wisdom with us!SHOW NOTESADHD Adult Charity: https://www.adhdadult.uk/Twitter: Alex-the_Psychoed_Monkey on ThreadsInstagram: @alexconnerbham...and if you were wondering Alex's wife is doing great!
