OC64-Josh B. – Peer Childhood Abuse, Suicidal Depression, Recovery from Alcoholism
Hi my Lovies!
Welcome to another episode of the ODAAT Chat, my name is Arlina and I’ll be your host.
I just want to take a moment to say thank you for all your awesome iTunes reviews! This one makes me wanna blush, but I’m going to read it!
How sweet is that?? And it really helps my ratings, so thanks mb900s!!
If you are new here, this is a podcast where my guests and I talk about how to recovery from alcoholism and addiction.
I’m looking to uncover the moments of clarity, the revelations, and the tools and practices for healing which lead to long term recovery.
So I am really looking forward to sharing this interview, because it’s with my dear friend Josh, but before I do, I just wanted to share that…
This episode is sponsored by my free 7 day “Connection Cure Challenge” – how to overcome isolation and attract your tribe in 7 days. – I know what its like to feel overwhelmed by life, and lonely because all I want to do is isolate. But I found a solution that changed my life forever and I want to share it with you. It’s a free online course with a downloadable worksheet.
So if you’ve ever struggled with loneliness and isolation then you absolutely need to take this challenge and experience the relief that comes from feeling supported and connected.

Okay, so like I was saying, today my guest is the super sweet and especially talented Josh. He’s a brilliant photographer. He’s the one who took the amazing picture of Gus, that I also happen to be in.
This is actually a pretty heavy episode today. Josh was very transparent about some of the root causes of his addiction, which includes peer sexual abuse when he was in elementary school. This is something that happens more often than you think but is rarely talked about. We also talk about how depression affected his relationships later in life. But hey, not to ruin the surprise or anything, but this story actually has a very happy ending. Josh has recovered from his alcoholism and has a wealth of friends and lives a life of purpose. So with that, please enjoy this episode with my dear friend Josh.
With gratitude,
Arlina
