Josh shares his Experience, Strength and Hope with a unique perspective of the program, having been sober since he was 19 years old, Josh grew up in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous.

A mere 10 years old when he had his first drink; only a kid who thought that everyone blacked out when they drank. It wasn’t long before Josh was a regular in Juvenile Hall, and with that came a reality of fear and hate. Josh drank his way to a completely hopeless state and tried almost successfully to commit suicide.

But alas, he is here today, a very young “old timer” that was grown by these principles and these practices of service, humility, honesty and a spiritual way of life. The problems Josh once had with the notion of a God or any sort of religion have disappeared over the years and it’s quality of faith Josh leans on today. And today is a beautiful life for Josh, a brand-new life as a brand-new dad.
