ADHD is highly correlated with addictive behavior. Many people know they have ADHD. Many people have found a way to get sober. Some realize they have an issue. The trick is how do you go from denying there is a problem to realizing a problem to becoming sober. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD and attention coach Jeff Copper (https://digcoaching.com) interviews ADHD coach Riley Karbon about her journey and lived experience. 

There is one thing about addictions: Nobody can fix it for you. Many loved ones around you have hope and want to help, but doing something about addiction is the real challenge. In this interview, we hope to reveal some insights around Riley's journey to sobriety and some of the grit that it took for her to get there. If you have ADHD and realize that you might be addicted to something chemically or behaviorally, this is a show you won't want to miss.
