Alcohol Was in Control… Until I Took My Life Back (Nisha’s Sobriety Story)

Nisha Patel got sober at 24. Today, with 17 years of sobriety, she’s a therapist and sobriety coach helping others live alcohol-free lives filled with purpose. In this episode of the Willpower Podcast, Nisha shares: • Her journey from rebellion & addiction to long-term sobriety • Why the first 5 years are the foundation for recovery • How mindfulness & therapy (DBT) helped regulate emotions • The power of finding your “why” — and why it’s often really a “why not” • Why we relapse, and how to break free from cycles of self-destruction • How to live in alignment with your values 👉 If you’re struggling with alcohol addiction or want to strengthen your sobriety, this conversation will give you tools, hope, and inspiration. 🔔 Subscribe for more sober stories & recovery tools: Willpower Podcast on YouTube, Spotify & Apple Podcasts. 📲 Follow Danielle on Instagram: @nishapatelcoaching 🙏 If you believe in the mission of spreading hope and healing through real recovery stories, please consider donating to the podcast.
