In this episode of Alcoholics Unanimous, Josh takes a deep dive into his personal journey with alcoholism, asking the question many of us have pondered: 'How'd I get like this?' He shares the highs and lows of his life with alcohol, starting from his first drink in high school to the more chaotic days of his early twenties.

Tune in to hear how he navigated through these challenging times and what he learned along the way.
It's a story of struggle, reflection, and ultimately, hope.
