Challenges and resilience are a part of life, and each of us struggles to achieve fulfillment and happiness through these struggles. Nishant Patel, MD (Twitter: @nishanturo) has his fair share of struggles including not matching (twice) into urology residency and medical issues with his family. But none of these experiences are as profound as his story with alcoholism and sobriety. Described as "an accomplished surgeon and an accomplished alcoholic" on the podcast, The Payoff with Pete (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-payoff-with-pete/id1550520979), Nishant's honest and insightful story provides lessons in humility, purpose, and overcoming challenges. If not already aware, it should open your eyes to the struggles of addiction and lower the stigma of interacting with people struggling through addiction or in recovery. If you are struggling with addiction, believe that someone is struggling, or know someone who is, please do not hesitate to reach out to Dr. Patel or this podcast for direction.
