What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? In this heartfelt episode of the Positive Sobriety Podcast, Nate Larkin and David Hampton chat with Dr. Lipi Roy, an esteemed internal medicine and addiction physician. The episode opens with a touching tribute to Nancy Priya, a beloved figure whose quiet grace impacted many recovery journeys. Dr. Roy, a leading voice in compassionate addiction care, shares her insights on why addiction doesn't discriminate and often intertwines with mental health issues.

Dr. Roy's personal experiences, including the loss of her uncle to alcoholism, enrich the conversation as she discusses the complex relationship between addiction and mental health.

Listeners are left with a powerful reminder of the impact that compassion and understanding can have on recovery. Dr. Roy's insights are a testament to the importance of kindness and support in overcoming addiction. Are you ready to explore how spirituality and empathy can transform the recovery process?
