Alcohol helped me relax. It really helped lower my overall stress level, which also helped reduce my ADHD and OCD symptoms. Unfortunately, it also started to er, uhm, ahem... be a little too much. I finally stopped alcohol altogether beforeit started to get really really bad. There is a worrisome connection between ADD / ADHD and substance abuse. This may be one of the reasons your therapist asked about it.

Hope things go well!
