Surviving Hell: A Fentanyl Addict Reveals his Brutal Life Style and How He Made it Out Alive | Episode 32

from Get a Grip Podcast · host Louis Essig and Aaron Garnes

In this powerful full-length episode, we follow the extraordinary journey of Josh Fessler, a man who fought through a life of trauma, addiction, and crime to find a path to sobriety and transformation. Josh’s story begins with a childhood marked by pain, leading him to drugs and alcohol at a young age as a means to cope. As his addiction spiraled, Josh resorted to selling drugs and committing crimes just to survive. But it wasn't until an unimaginable series of events—16 overdoses in a three-month period—that Josh hit rock bottom, eventually landing him back in jail. It was there that he crossed paths with Louis, who was working in a correctional facility at that time. What began as a simple connection sparked the beginning of a profound change. In this episode, Josh opens up about his darkest moments, the chaos of his addiction, and the turning point that led him to seek a new way of life. Through raw honesty and reflection, we hear how he found sobriety and rebuilt his life in ways he never thought possible. This is a story of survival, resilience, and hope—a testament to the power of second chances and the ability to rise from the ashes. Tune in to hear Josh's incredible transformation and the lessons learned along the way.🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more powerful stories on addiction, recovery, and resilience.
