Addiction is a problem with the brain, and now we have a really good medication to potentially change the brain, and that's going to change the way that we view addiction.
Sure.
So I'll start with my story first.
So like we covered a little bit in the last episode, I'm a person in long-term recovery.
I've been sober for the past nine years.
Part of my recovery journey was the pleasure of doing medical residency sober.
My medical residency was also during the global pandemic.
So as a resident in pediatrics in the inner city of Philadelphia, at that time, it was very stressful to be in the hospital.
Many people saw this on the news, but really to live it, to go every day to the emergency room, not know what was going to happen, not know the right masks, if the virus was surviving on the floors, on the patients, what would happen.
And we really didn't know how it was going to affect children.
And that was probably how it affected me the most.
But what was also really hard was that all of our coping mechanisms were taken away.
So we didn't have the gym.
We didn't have dinner with friends.
We didn't have, you know, things that we were doing to kind of maintain that balance.
And for me, as a person at that point being four years sober, I really struggled with eating.
I just started to go to work.
I would come home, take off my scrubs, do the like laundry or whatever they were telling us to do at that time.
And then I would order DoorDash like a lot of people were doing in the lockdown.
But for me, that was really challenging because I started to put on a lot of weight.
