Welcome back to season four of the Sober Motivation Podcast.

Join me, Brad, each week as my guests and I share incredible and powerful sobriety stories.

We're here to show sobriety as possible, one story at a time.

Let's go.

In this episode, Josh shares his heart-wrenching journey from a childhood impacted by abuse

and perfectionism to the depths

that alcohol took him. Throughout the years of struggling, Josh had a DUI rehab stays, but never

wanted to make the changes for himself. He recounts hitting rock bottom with a near-death experience

in Italy, which became the catalyst for his transformation. Through resilience, therapy,

and unconditional love from his family,

Josh finds his way back to himself, embracing sobriety and self-love.

Josh's powerful story is an example that life can turn around,

and although sobriety is not easy, it is worth it. And this is Josh's story on a sober motivation podcast.

Welcome back.

Good to have you for another episode.

The Spotify Rapp just came out, which shows sort of a broad picture of how people are listening to the podcast.

One thing that stood out to me was listening time.

5.7 million minutes of listening in the last year, which is crazy. So thank

you everybody who listens to the podcast on Spotify. I want to mention too with the holidays

coming up. Whether we stay sober or not through the holidays, I think has a big thing to do

with how we get prepared for them and how much support we have

and where we're at in our journey.
