Why do so many ADHDers struggle with alcohol or addiction? What’s really going on beneath the surface—and how do you begin to change it?

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Paulette Crowley—a registered mental health coach, health journalist, and woman in long-term recovery from alcohol addiction. Paulette shares her personal story of living with ADHD, depression, anxiety, and addiction—and how she now lives a full, rich life with what she calls “very manageable mental health conditions.”

We dive into:

  • Why ADHD brains are more vulnerable to addiction (dopamine, numbing, social anxiety & more)
  • The isolation and shame that can come with addiction
  • What the HALT acronym means and how it can help
  • Why addiction isn’t a moral failing—and how to start healing
  • The “layer cake” of mental health & what real recovery looks like

If you’ve ever struggled with alcohol, addictive behaviours, or felt ashamed of how you cope—this conversation is for you. Paulette brings wisdom, hope, and practical steps for anyone ready to take the first step.
