Sobriety is just great. I did notice improvements to EVERYTHING when I quit drinking, including my ADHD meds.

Annoying side effect for me was that, after a while, I realized that yes, this is me. I could blame a lot on a night out. Actually, it’s my ADHD brain and now I know that. It’s like meeting myself after a long break.
