Topic Description: I AM A RECOVERING ALCOHOLIC WITH 7 YEARS OF SOBRIETY. I HAVE A 13 YR OLD SON, WHO IS IN TREATMENT. HE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH ADHD 2 YEARS AGO. SINCE THEN I HAVE READ EVERYTHING I CAN ABOUT THIS DISORDER. THE MORE I READ, THE MORE IT SEEMS THAT THE TRAITS OF ADD SUFFERERS ARE INCREDIBLY SIMILAR TO THE TRAITS OF ALCOHOLIC/ADDICTS. IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE WE (ALCOHOLICS) SELF-MEDICATE OURSELVES TO RELIEVE THE SYMPTOMS OUR BRAIN PRODUCES.
