In episode two of Not Everyone Drinks: The Podcast, Samantha Morgan is joined by Sarah Lavelle - an ADHD UK ambassador and the author of the children’s picture book Piff in a Puffle.

Sarah reflects on receiving an ADHD diagnosis in her late 50s and how it helped her make sense of lifelong challenges with focus, planning, emotional regulation and risk-taking. She also shares how stopping drinking allowed her ADHD medication to work more effectively and gave her greater clarity, productivity and presence.

Together, Samantha and Sarah explore the relationship between ADHD and alcohol, self-medication, late diagnosis and the importance of receiving the right support. They also discuss what alcohol-free living has added to their lives - from creativity, music and travel to stronger relationships and conversations they can truly remember.

This is an open, honest and uplifting conversation about understanding yourself, advocating for your needs and discovering how full life can be without alcohol.

Because alcohol should always be a choice. Not everyone drinks.

In the very first episode of Not Everyone Drinks, Samantha Morgan sits down with Emma Hensley for a raw, honest and uplifting conversation about addiction, recovery and rebuilding a life beyond alcohol. Two women, two powerful stories - and proof that choosing a different path can change everything.
