Joshua Anderson is a recovery coach and peer advocate with the Niagara County, New York, Presenting Alternatives for Treatment and Healing (PATH) Program. He had been on his recovery journey for over 29 years at the time this video was recorded. He shares his personal story of the “universal language of pain” that led him to his own recovery and how a stranger got his attention by telling him that he no longer had to live the way he was living when he was using drugs daily.
