In this compelling episode of "Spirits and Stories with Donald Dunn," we dive into a remarkable journey of downfall and redemption with a former Park Avenue doctor turned director of New Beginnings. Our guest shares his harrowing experience of losing his medical practice overnight due to a lawsuit, leading to his entanglement in a pain clinic scandal, and the devastating impact of being arrested just days before his son's high school graduation. Facing the possibility of 80 years in prison for writing prescriptions, he recounts the struggle of losing everything, living on the streets, and eventually finding a path to recovery. His story unfolds from hitting rock bottom to developing a powerful formula for turning his life around, emphasizing the significance of accepting responsibility, cutting out toxic influences, contributing positively, exercising, finding purpose, and persistently striving for success. This episode also explores parallels with the veteran community, discussing the challenges of identity loss, depression, and the crucial role of finding purpose after service. Join us as we uncover lessons of resilience, the importance of rewriting one's narrative, and the transformative power of facing one's traumas head-on.
