Martyn Davies, founder of **Sober Is Fun**, opens up honestly about his decades‑long battle with alcohol and drug addiction — and how an **adult ADHD diagnosis** finally revealed he'd been self‑medicating undiagnosed neurodivergence his whole life.
 
He shares how undiagnosed ADHD fuelled impulsive behaviour, dopamine seeking, and substance use; the moment he decided to get sober; why he created Sober Is Fun to rewrite the story of recovery; and how life without alcohol can be brighter, fuller and genuinely fun.
