TOMU: 2025 Reflections - Sobriety, ADHD, Addiction Recovery & Finding Purpose.

In this deeply personal episode, I reflect on the year that completely changed my life.This episode is an honest conversation about addiction recovery, sobriety, mental health, ADHD, therapy, survivors guilt, and finding purpose.I open up about seeking help for alcohol and substance abuse, being diagnosed with ADHD, navigating medication, and learning how to feel again without running from my emotions. I talk about the growth of this podcast, becoming a Top 10% show listened to in 34 countries, and how sobriety has allowed me to rebuild my relationships, health, and sense of self.I also share deeply personal experiences around spina bifida, losing two siblings, and the survivor’s guilt that has followed me throughout my life. These experiences have inspired my plan to cycle from Copenhagen to Athens to raise awareness and money for mental health and spina bifida.This episode is for anyone struggling with addiction, feeling lost, navigating ADHD, grieving, or trying to rebuild their life. It’s about starting again, believing in yourself, and learning that nothing changes unless you change. Topics covered:Sobriety & addiction recoveryAlcohol and substance abuseADHD diagnosis & medicationMental health & therapySurvivor’s guilt & griefSpina bifida awarenessPersonal growth & self-discoveryFinding purpose after addictionIf you enjoyed this episode, please rate and follow the podcast — it really helps the show grow and reach more people we can help.If you think this episode could help someone, share it with them.Follow the podcast on socials @tomupodcastSupport the show: Buy Me a Coffee ⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/tomupodcast⁠ We’re just getting started.
