I recently heard someone say: you don't have to believe everything you think, and it was mind-blowing for me because I took a moment to step back and I thought: how often does a thought pop into my head? But I was just like: okay, well, it'll be what it'll be.
What would you do if your drinking habits threatened to take away everything you love? In this episode of 'Behind The Smile', Ash Butterss chats with Josh, a lawyer and father of three, who faced that very dilemma. On July 23, 2015, Josh decided to quit drinking, a choice that terrified him but was crucial for his future. He opens up about the fears he had to confront and how sobriety reshaped his entire perspective on life.
Josh's story is a raw and honest look at the struggles and triumphs of giving up alcohol. He talks about how his most painful experiences have led to significant personal growth and helped him balance his ego. Josh also shares the role of Alcoholics Anonymous in his recovery, the importance of service, and how spirituality has become a cornerstone of his new life.
This episode is not just about quitting alcohol; it's about facing your deepest fears and finding a path to inner peace. Whether you're on your own journey to sobriety or supporting someone who is, Josh's story offers valuable insights and hope.
