397 Addiction, Violence, and Losing His Brother: Josh's Path To Healing

• 2 min read

In this raw and moving episode, Josh shares his unbelievable journey through addiction, violence, and grief — and how he found his way to sobriety. From being stabbed and shot, to losing his brother to fentanyl, to nearly ending his own life, Josh’s story is both heartbreaking and inspiring. 

Through therapy, music, gratitude, and the 12 steps, he’s learned how to take life “one day at a time.” This episode is really a story of survival, resilience, and hope.

Before we jump in, I have a big announcement! I am partnering with OpenRecovery, a free app designed to act as your 24/7 AI Recovery Coach. They are launching a new community feature where you can join online meetings to meet others just like you, who are on the path of recovery. I’ll be hosting meetings focused on doing 12 step work in a safe, compassionate and empowering space. The meeting is scheduled for later this month and if you’re interested in joining, just download the app for free! I’ll leave links to the Apple App Store and Google Play in the show notes. Just visit odaatchat.com
