Is your adhd better with completely quitting alcohol?

[u/annamonapia]

I’m 40 days alcohol free. I feel a ton ton ton better. My adhd is better. I am still starting vyvanse today to try to help myself through the daily adhd struggles. Anyone having similar time? Thoughts ? Any tips on vyvanse ? Any thoughts on alcohol free?

so i stopped drinking after experimenting for like 1.5 years out of social pressure. had one bad experience aside from the usual symptoms and i was like, nope, im out, im good. its been almost two years and i honestly dont miss it at all. the only “downside” is just going to parties and being in my head, but i try to really feel the music as a sensory experience and then it gets a bit better. it definitely helped to not experience racing thoughts the day after, constantly worry if i was being too loud or impolite or overstepping, because my adhd brain always does that normally so since, yk, you get out of touch with stuff i felt like i had no baseline of how i was supposed to act or what was acceptable. also i feel like everyone w adhd has some form of digestive issue too, and eliminating it helped with not making symptoms worse.
