In episode 174 of the Alcohol Rethink Podcast, Patrick Fox sits down with Russell Kramer, the author of Hocus Focus, for a heartfelt chat about his experiences with ADD and addiction.
Russell opens up about his journey with ADD medication, the difficult process of coming off it, and the alternatives he’s found to cope and thrive without it.
They dive into the highs and lows of living with ADD, how the education system can shape our view of mental health, and the role sobriety has played in Russell's life.
Using sailing as a metaphor, Russell describes what it’s like to steer through life without medication. He also shares his thoughts on the importance of support and resources for anyone dealing with addiction and finding ways to build a meaningful life after overcoming it.
Powerful words spoken by Russell - "Intrusive thoughts are the sound of my addiction leaving"
Other cool things they get into:
- How Russell's journey with ADD and medication began at a young age.
- The effects of medication can have on mental health.
- How withdrawal from ADD medication can lead to feelings of lethargy and depression.
- How to recognise intrusive thoughts and see them as part of addiction and recovery.

- The education system often fails to accommodate neurodiverse students.
