I miss you so much old friend 😢

Love, Kyleshia xoxo
I just watched your intervention and your story touches my heart so much! You were such a beautiful soul and  I will never forget your story. I just pray that God has you in his arms and you are happy. 
I have only watched Intervention a couple times. Having a relative who has struggled with addiction, it hit home. After watching the episode most of the way through, I decided to look him up to see how he fared. My heart sunk after seeing he passed away in 2020. He was born the year my I got married. Ironic too, is we had a German Shepherd I named Josh, because I loved the name so much. My hope is his family knows his delimma could happen so easily to each of us. Until we humans take a real look at this issue, we will continue to have more tragedies. Joshua had a wonderful light about him. God Bless all of his family.

I just saw your intervention and was so relieved that you got sober and never looked back. Until, I read the comments saying you had passed. I’ve never met you, but I understand your struggle with a substance that’s way too easy and inexpensive to get. It almost feels like it’s not really a drug and it’s not that big of a deal. Except, it starts to tear your life apart. It’s so hard to abstain when it’s in your face everyday. 

I know the hate you felt for yourself the pain you know you caused others. I understand not being able to stop no matter how much you wanted to. Addiction is such a selfish disease, but not because we want to be selfish, but our brains and body are no longer ours to control. 

I really really hope there’s more to this life than just death and you are the happiest version of yourself wherever you are. You deserve it. Your love ones deserve to one day see that Josh. 

Anyway, your story just touched me and I had to send my condolences. 

To Joshua’s loved ones, I hope you’re at peace. If you’re blaming yourselves, don’t. Addicts are manipulative, sneaky, liars. We have a one track mind - to get messed up at any cost. Substances trick your brain and turn you into a shell of the person you love and care about. Don’t blame Josh because I really believe he tried. 

Peace, Love, Light and comfort to you all. ♥️
