Charity Hair's Journey: From Runway Lights to Recovery Advocacy

At the end of the day, that was basically my alcoholism was a way of coping with the ADHD that was undiagnosed, and when I went down the rabbit hole I found a whole bunch of research that kind of showed that a really pretty good percentage of people who end up in recovery have ADHD, that they are a comorbidity.
Ever wondered how a runway model transitions to becoming a beacon of hope in the recovery community? Charity Hair's story is one you won't want to miss. In this episode of 'Rhyme & Reason with Dr. Barry', Charity opens up about her fascinating journey from the glamorous world of fashion to the equally challenging path of sobriety.
She shares her experiences traveling the globe as a model and later finding her voice in music, performing alongside legends like Bob Dylan and Neil Young. But it's her candid discussion about entering Alcoholics Anonymous in 2019 that truly resonates. Charity dives into how she initially used alcohol to cope with undiagnosed ADHD and how the pandemic in 2020 further complicated her cognitive health despite being sober.
Diagnosed with ADHD later in life, Charity has since channeled her energy into life coaching and advocating for women facing similar challenges. This episode isn't just about her struggles; it's a heartfelt conversation about the intersection of addiction, mental health, and celebrity culture. Dr. Barry and Charity explore practical tools and strategies that have helped her maintain sobriety, offering valuable insights for anyone on their own recovery journey.
Whether you're directly affected by addiction or simply looking for an inspiring story of resilience, Charity's journey offers hope and practical advice. Tune in for a moving dialogue that sheds light on the complexities of addiction and the power of perseverance.
