Is it possible to achieve Nirvana?
Yes, it is possible, but it’s not going to be what you think it is. You will have to drop all your illusions, including the one that there’s such a thing as Nirvana.
The upside is eternal peace, the downside is a lot of pain, because truth hurts. In fact, truth is the only thing that can hurt. Lies never hurt, lies are comfortable. So when you know the full truth, there is no more pain. You make your own trade off here. You will end up there anyway, whether you want it or not.
