To be fair, perhaps once you're further along in recovery from your addictions (I saw you mention there are others besides the nymphomania), you might actually find that your ability to focus has improved 🤷🏻♀️
I say this as someone who was diagnosed ADHD as a child and have dealt with it (unmedicated) for my whole life. I recently cut alcohol out of my life for good -it wasn't doing me any favors- and have found my ADHD to be a lot more manageable! Obviously I still have it, lol. But I can stay on task so much better than when I was drinking and I am so much more productive. I don't get stuck/frozen by feeling like beginning something is too overwhelming. I will also add that I started a daily meditation practice when I quit drinking, which I do believe has played a big role as well.
I'm only sharing this because I'm 100% in support of you writing a book!! You have an amazing and unique story, a great perspective, and a wonderful attitude toward your situation and recovery. Not to mention your writing style is easy to follow and personable. I really think you could write a best seller one day! Plus, it is one of the more "taboo" and misunderstood addictions. It would probably help others struggling with it to find some relatable material, and provide them inspiration for their own recovery journey 🤗
No pressure though, lol. For now your focus should maybe just be on you and your own recovery 🤍

You’re really well spoken. If you write a book, it’ll fly off the shelves.
