My Story
My journey into addiction, like many others, reached a breaking point during the pandemic. I could no longer lie to myself. My use of alcohol and stimulants was no longer a habit; it had become a way to function that I could not control. After many failed attempts to get sober on my own, I finally decided to get help.
In recovery, I began to truly understand how dopamine works. Every quick hit of pleasure was followed by an equal and opposite crash, and my ADHD made those spikes even more intense. I realized I was never chasing chaos. I was chasing balance in the only way I knew how.
"The biggest shift came when I stopped fighting my urges and started talking to them."
I learned to see the "negative" part of me not as an enemy but as a scared protector that wanted to help me survive. My rational and compassionate self began to speak to that part instead of trying to shut it down. It was not about silencing the voice that wanted relief. It was about understanding where it came from.
As I rebuilt my life, I focused on every layer of change. My diet, my hobbies, my support networks, and my mindset all became part of my healing. Through structure, movement, mindfulness, and honest accountability, I found a sense of joy and stability that I never thought possible.
Today, I am dedicated to helping others experience the same transformation. My mission is to guide people who struggle with addiction and ADHD to understand their brains, rebuild their confidence, and restore balance through compassion, science, and consistent action. Recovery is not about being perfect. It is about creating a life that finally works with you, not against you.
