Part 6 of our “Meet the Team” series. Thrive team member Josh Munoz has been with Thrive for two years and works as an assistant community manager.
My recovery story is a long journey, but I have been able to sustain 6 years of sobriety. I am in recovery from both addiction (alcohol) and mental health diagnosis. I got to the point that I was fed up and just tired of the constant struggle with my mental health symptoms and not being able to stop drinking, I went into a sober living facility in California in 2016 and lived there for almost a year, during that time I really took things seriously and accepted suggestions and acted on them. I did rigorous counseling and psychiatric care and worked on myself and adhered to a medication regimen. I am now living a full life, and active in my community and my own recovery needs, and now am giving back to others and supporting the peer supporters that are helping our peers achieve recovery.
Also known as “Chico” by his family, Josh is one of 7 siblings and is a proud uncle to 24 nieces and nephews! He lives happily with his husband John D. and their two dogs King and Chaos.
Josh’s favorite part of his job is the support and family bond that has been created, and we couldn’t agree more. We love having Josh as part of the Thrive family!
Stay tuned for more meet the Thrive team content coming soon!
