I’m almost 6 months sober 🙋🏼‍♀️ and here’s a big reason why…

🧠 Research shows adults with ADHD have slower recovery from alcohol impairment meaning even after the buzz wears off, cognitive effects like fog, emotional dysregulation & impulsivity can linger longer than for neurotypical people. (Roberts et al., Psychopharmacology, 2013)

I would wake up with hanxiety, brain fog and lack of focus (not to mention “session depression”) for almost a week and it wasn’t just “a bad night”… it was my brain still catching up. 

That one night was stealing so much energy, dopamine, happiness and productivity from my future self! 🫠

- Who can relate? 💛

I’m always on the look out for non alcoholic drinks that still feel boujee, actually help work with my ADHD brain and still give me a little lift! I’ve recently tried zoozdrink and can officially say they’re one of my go tos, especially when I need that extra bit of focus or I’m hosting and want to impress my guests! 🌿✨
