Josh's Journey: From Addiction to Culinary Dreams

You could be down in the dumps, you could eat with kings, but until the program stops being a me program becomes a we program, it ain't going to work.
Imagine hitting rock bottom, only to rise again with newfound purpose and joy. That's exactly what Josh shares in this episode of RAW Recovery, hosted by Dion Miller. Josh opens up about his battle with addiction to drugs and alcohol, which led him to a hospital bed after a night of heavy drinking. But his story doesn't end there. With faith as his anchor, Josh not only overcame addiction but also battled cancer.
He talks about the power of empathy, mentorship, and community support in his recovery journey. Throughout the episode, Josh emphasizes how sharing his story has been a cornerstone of his healing process. He found a safe space in RAW Recovery to open up, hoping to inspire others facing similar struggles. The conversation also touches on the strain addiction put on his personal relationships, especially with his ex-wife. Yet, through sobriety, Josh learned to rebuild trust and communication.
Mentorship played a crucial role in Josh's recovery. He speaks passionately about the importance of having a mentor and a supportive community, which he found in Alcoholics Anonymous. His reflections on sober living highlight the significance of staying open-minded and focusing on the next right thing. One of the most inspiring parts of Josh's journey is how he overcame his fear of public speaking and found a new career in the culinary industry.
His story is a testament to the transformative power of sobriety, turning life's challenges into opportunities for growth and fulfillment. Tune in to RAW Recovery to hear Josh's powerful story and join a community that believes in the healing power of shared experiences.
