I sat in on some AA meetings and I got overwhelmed because so many in the room had ADHD. Ironically, so many in the bars/clubs that are actively drinking have it too. The difference is how one group lives in denial and often dysfunctional behaviors while the other group pretty much hit bottom and finally are on a path of learning how to live a better way.

My husband just seems to need that social environment. I admit that I feel lonely or that I am not enough. Now that I am older and have my own challenges, I am glad my husband is sober and has a way to get his adhd social needs met.
