@shanticeleste: I put this on insta earlier today but repeating on here too for anyone who needs it 🩵 So a few weeks ago I posted a story asking for recos (books, podcasts, anything) on the relationship between alcohol, ADHD, and nightlife. A few of you asked why nightlife specifically - for most of you the answer is obvious! Being in clubs two or three times a weekend is my job, and most resources I’ve found don’t account for that. “Avoid clubs” isn’t really an option in this kind of work. I was overwhelmed by the messages I got back 🩷 So many people feel the same way. I was sent amazing recos for things I hadn’t come across before and so many people asked for me to share what I’d learned that I decided to do a pdf (in my bio) and post too, so it’s always there for anyone who wants it. A bit of context: one of the things I’m working through is not wanting to rely on alcohol to manage the social anxiety I often feel in club & festival environments. Having ADHD adds another layer, and medication hasn’t been the right fit for me. I still want to enjoy a drink sometimes and the occasional silly roll through with my mates! I’ve had some of my best, most inspiring experiences in those moments. But my relationship with alcohol isn’t serving me. The next-day anxiety, dreading everything I’ve said and knowing the only reason I picked up a drink was because I was already anxious. I’m bored of that cycle. I’m not here to judge anyone! I still love a drink! I just don’t know yet whether moderation is possible for me in these environments. That’s the journey I’m on. I’m sharing this because so many people feel this way but don’t hear it spoken about in the world I operate in. Imo you don’t need things to be “really bad” to want something to change. ps: if I’ve missed anything pls add it in comments!!
