Over my years of practice at The OAD Clinic I've seen up close the rollercoaster that is ADHD, especially when it comes to building relationships. But here's something many miss: people with ADHD have this incredible knack for seeing things differently. Their creativity? It's off the charts! And it....

Managing finances can be challenging for anyone, but for adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), it can be especially difficult. ADHD can cause symptoms such as impulsivity, distractibility, and difficulty organizing and managing time. These symptoms can make it difficult to sta...

Some people ask me - "how did you manage to cope and be a success in your career?" or "how did you manage to carry on with your work while your drinking was out of control and a cause of suffering in your life?" These are good questions, of course, and I’m not sure that I can give an altogether co...

When I stepped into semi-retirement, I wanted to do something useful and with purpose. I said to somebody that I wanted to stop being an academic. I’ve been a (semi-) academic all of my life. I wanted to get my head out of books and get my hands dirty, so to speak. As an alcoholic in recovery, I w...

In an earlier blog from last year, called Be Still – Mindfulness in Lockdown, we talked about how lockdown was an opportunity to stop racing around and burdening ourselves with often self-imposed pressure to stay busy. Alcoholics and others suffering from addiction are not very comfortable sitting...

Addiction is a contentious area. The causes and the treatments are subject to much debate. But there are two basic truths about recovery to which I subscribe. Others may choose to agree or disagree. The first is that there needs to be proper self-acknowledgement of a problem and a desire to get well...

Is an alcoholic ever really happy? When I went into psychotherapy, I was asked at some stage, "When you were younger, when were you really happy?" Interestingly, at least to me, I answered quick as a flash. I didn't even need to give it much consideration. I replied "When I was on the football terra...

Alcoholics and drug users find it tough to stick to a treatment programme. Motivation comes and goes. Discipline is something different. It’s a planned, concentrated effort, sustained over time. It involves practise and the build-up of good habits. Staying sober requires discipline. It’s importa...

I’m an alcoholic in recovery. There, I’ve just said it. It wasn’t that difficult. But I’ve been saying it for many years, so I’ve got used to it. Taking the first step in self-acknowledgement of a problem and confessing it to others is not easy. It’s a major hurdle to be overcome. It’s...

Alcoholics in recovery often talk about the need to hit “rock bottom” before a commitment to treatment will have any possibility of success. Some treatment practitioners don’t really like this idea because they believe, understandably, that intervention should be possible before reaching this ...
