Josh Torbich's story is a powerful testament to the transformative power of faith and community. In this episode of 'The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return', Josh opens up about his journey from a promising young athlete to a heroin addict, and how he found his way back through a renewed connection with his Christian faith.
Growing up in North Carolina, Josh excelled in sports and academics, but by the age of 13, he began experimenting with drugs and alcohol. This experimentation quickly spiraled into a full-blown heroin addiction by the time he reached college. Struggling to balance his studies and his addiction, Josh hit rock bottom and realized he needed help. In 2012, after a profound spiritual encounter, Josh decided to seek recovery.
His faith played a crucial role in his journey, providing him with a sense of community and purpose that he had been missing. Now, as the Executive Director of Christian Recovery Centers Inc., and a leader in various recovery initiatives, Josh is dedicated to helping others find the same freedom he did. He emphasizes the importance of genuine connections and giving back to the community as vital components of staying sober.
