Jennifer Salzman: ADHD and Alcohol

Why do women with ADHD struggle to quit drinking? Jessica sits down with Jennifer, Rebel Without a Drink, to explore how understanding your brain changes everything about sobriety. If you’ve ever wondered why your brain won’t slow down, why you can’t “just have one,” or why quitting drinking feels like a full-time job, this episode is for you.

Together they explore:

• How to know if you might have ADHD as a woman (and why it’s often missed)

• Why ADHD brains crave relief and stimulation at the same time

• The dopamine trap that makes alcohol feel like it “helps” (but actually burns you out)

• How to calm your mind, regulate emotions, and build focus without drinking

• ADHD-friendly tools, routines, and supplements that actually work

• Why willpower isn’t the problem, energy is
