Description

In this episode of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast, Patrick Fox sits down with ADHD expert and author Sarah Templeton to uncover the deep links between ADHD and addiction.

Sarah shares her powerful late-in-life diagnosis story, how undiagnosed ADHD often manifests as compulsive or addictive behaviors, and why so many men struggling with alcohol may actually be facing something deeper.

Awesome topics they cover:

  • A clearer understanding of the different types of ADHD and how they often get overlooked.

  • Insight into why addiction and ADHD are so closely connected.

  • Real stories of how awareness and the right support can be transformational.

  • Practical steps to start screening, seeking support, and reframing what a diagnosis means.

If you’ve ever wondered why willpower alone doesn’t work, or why certain patterns keep showing up in your life, this episode offers fresh answers and hope.
