Josh Bone was born and raised by his grandparents in Dallas, NC. He attended college at UNC Chapel Hill where he studied psychology and creative writing. Working in the bar and service industry, he began to struggle with alcoholism and addiction. After navigating over a decade of active addiction, he celebrates 7 years of sobriety April 27, 2024. He started his career in the recovery field in 2018 as a volunteer. He worked his way up the ranks from group facilitator and case management to successfully operating a large Intensive Outpatient Program and becoming a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor 1.

In 2019, Josh launched a campaign to create Anchor of Hope Sober Living through a GoFundMe account. Anchor of Hope Sober Living now consists of 27 sober living homes across the Charlotte and Matthews area in North Carolina serving over 180 residents, both men and women. Josh partnered with Ascend Recovery Centers in July of 2023 to begin the process of bringing quality and affordable care to the underserved population of Charlotte, NC.

He is the father of 5 year old Lily Bone with a boy, Waylon Bone on the way in May 2024. He and Onalee Medlin currently reside in Charlotte just a few miles of Ascend, NC. Josh has made a life in recovery. From countless detoxes, jails and sober living communities, he is now a shining example of God’s amazing grace and mercy. His willingness to walk by faith is illustrated in the doors God has and continues to open in his recovery.
