Joshua shares an extraordinary journey of survival and transformation, describing how a boy who grew up traumatized, addicted, homeless, and completely broken found a new life through the Twelve Steps and the fellowship of AA. From childhood chaos, blackout drinking, psychotic drug use, and years spent in institutions and living in dumpsters, his life seemed hopeless—until a moment of clarity at 19 brought him into AA, where identification, honesty, and the Steps slowly rebuilt him from the inside out. Through rigorous inventory, amends, spiritual growth, and helping others, Josh repaired relationships with his family, became a loving husband, a dependable son, a sponsor, and a man who shows up for life. His greatest accomplishment is the redemption he never imagined possible: standing in the same city where he once slept in dumpsters, now sober, grateful, and surrounded by friends—choosing love, service, and life one day at a time.
