Ashlyn Harris Reveals Past Struggles With Adderall Addiction

Former U.S. women's national soccer team goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris revealed her struggles with Adderall addiction during her college years at the University of North Carolina on the 'Question Everything With Danielle Robay' podcast. She described her intense misuse of the drug, which included crushing and snorting it, leading to days without sleep and feelings of impending heart failure. Harris acknowledged the addiction was exacerbated by her desire to lose weight and cope with injuries, calling it a 'toxic time' in her life. Her college coach, Anson Dorrance, helped her overcome this challenge by encouraging her to read meaningful literature, particularly Viktor Frankl's 'Man’s Search for Meaning.' Now retired, Harris reflects on the trauma of her past and aims to provide her children with the best tools for life, emphasizing the importance of kindness and community engagement. She is currently dating actress Sophia Bush after her split from ex-wife Ali Krieger in 2023.
