A few years ago, Josh Gregory saw his reflection in the mirror, and found only darkness staring back. No love, no hate, just pure emptiness. In this raw and riveting episode, hear the powerful story of a boy who started drinking at age 11, then spent decades hiding in plain sight as a high-functioning alcoholic, before he finally hit the breaking point that forced him to face the truth.
On this episode, Josh guides us through his journey of addiction and denial with brutal honesty, ultimately sharing how that honesty led him down a pathway to sobriety and redemption. If you've ever struggled with substances, know someone else who has, or merely wondered what it really takes to change your life—his story doesn’t hold back. It's an episode that deserves your full attention, on the Back 9.
