August 18, 2025–December 27, 2027 | 7–8pm Pacific
The ADHD + Addiction weekly peer support group is a space for adults (18+) navigating the challenges of ADHD/AuDHD and addiction. Facilitated by those with lived experience, this group provides a supportive environment to share struggles, explore solutions, and support each other on the path to recovery. Newcomers are always welcome! Meetings are a safe, supportive, judgment-free environment to share the challenges, frustrations, and successes of living with ADHD while working on one’s recovery. Some of our members were diagnosed as children and others as adults, and some were not diagnosed at all. Some choose medication and others don't. Regardless of any differences, we come together united by the challenges of living with ADHD/AuDHD and Addiction and the hope to improve our lives. Here we’re able to talk directly with other adults who are living with ADHD/AuDHD and addiction, share practical insights, tools, and strategies with one another, which all come from firsthand experience.
