I first learned about OPHP through my medical school administration and mentors. It had become apparent Icouldn’t continue on with my career living the same way I had tried to throughout it to that point. I wasmotivated to reach out for help because of the very real consequences of my actions, and wanting badly to bethe physician, significant other, son, and community member I knew I could be. [How did OPHP help you in your recovery journey?] They were supportive from day one. Checking in regularly,helping me hold myself accountable. They gave me a chance that I didn’t know I deserved at the time. I havemuch gratitude for the program. Today, recovery means another chance at my dream, it means forgiveness, itmeans freedom, it is what I owe my blessings to. Recovery has completely changed the trajectory of my life. [Do you think recovery has enhanced your patient care?] It has made me a listener, a better caregiver and allaround a better physician. [What do you find most challenging about addiction and mental health disorders among healthcareprofessionals?] The stigma is still strong, ego plays a large part for me and I’m sure many of those withprofessional degrees. The silence about this issue in a competitive, challenging profession where you areasked/expected to work hard without any hesitance is isolating. [The interest in mental health, burnout and substance use disorders among healthcare professionals seemsto be growing. Why do you think that is?] People are finally speaking out against the silence. It takes strongpeople to make it through these issues, and even stronger ones to speak up to help those who suffer in silence. Ithink healthcare professionals are an amazing group of people, within that are these heroes doing this work.[If you could give advice to another healthcare professional who is struggling with a mental health orsubstance use disorder, what would you tell them?] You are not alone, you are strong, you DESERVE a healthyand happy life. "You arenotalone,you arestrong.Youdeservea happyandhealthylife."How Recovery Changed my LifeBy an OhioPHP Participant
