Joshua spent years battling heroin addiction. He tried rehab, traveled to different countries to escape drugs, and endured withdrawals.
After several years clean, Joshua experienced a series of losses and challenges … and had a relapse. Unable to disappear from his life and enter rehab again, Joshua discovered Dr Joe’s work and began meditating consistently.
At a retreat in Switzerland, Joshua describes having an intense experience during meditation that felt like years of guilt, shame, and trauma releasing from his body. That night, he says he put down the opioid medication he had been taking and never picked it up again.
Weeks later, another challenge emerged. Joshua was diagnosed with cancer and given a grave prognosis. He chose to pursue a holistic path centered heavily on meditation and Dr Joe’s work rather than the proposed chemotherapy and radiation. His tumor gradually shrank and he is now cancer-free.
When Joshua looks back, he says cancer wasn’t his greatest battle – addiction was. His story is ultimately about leaving behind the guilt and shame of who he had been and discovering that his past did not have to determine who he became next.
Recorded at the Cancún Advanced 10-Day Retreat in June, 2026.
