“When I didn’t want to drink, I would have to drink” Nisha Patel’s story with Sarah Pritchard

In this episode of the Impact Recovery Podcast, host Sarah Pritchard sits down with Nisha Patel, LPC, for an honest conversation about alcoholism, recovery, and finding purpose through personal experience. Nisha shares her own story of struggling with alcohol and the journey that ultimately led her into recovery.
