Bill D.  Bill D. was 39 years old when he conceded that alcohol
was making his life unmanageable. That was a hard admission but
since then, life has been better; not always easy, but better.
He sought help through twelve-step groups and an addiction-
specialist counselor. The counselor first brought up the subject
of ADHD. Since then, he has been on a journey of sobriety and of
understanding how his attention deficit has affected his life.
He has found that there are aspects of ADHD and addictions that
overlap quite a bit, both in the ways they influenced him when
he was ignorant of them, and in the process of acceptance. It's
amazing what a difference it makes to know about ADHD and to
face it sober. Bill is a husband and father of two. He is a
lawyer, a writer, and a guitar player.
