I also have ADHD paired with a drinking problem. I was undiagnosed until age 34 so for many years, I selfmedicated with alcohol. The adhd meds help a lot, but when they wear off at night I am vulnerable to alcohol to take off the edge. I ruined many jobs and relationships with my drinking and impulsiveness, disorganization.
Alcoholism is bad enough by itself, but combined with ADHD makes a perfect storm for bad decision making. I have very poor impulse control so I have to always be weary of situations where I am around alcohoL. I feel my heart skip a beat when I pass a pub and think about a cold pint of beer. Try again and stay out of the bars!
