    The Devil
    Inside Me

    A memoir by Joshua T Berglan

    What happens when the most dangerous person in your life is the one staring back at you?

    A brutally honest confrontation with trauma, addiction, betrayal, fractured identity, faith, and the consequences of a lifetime spent running from the truth.

    01 The Story

    Nothing is softened. Nothing is offered as an excuse.

    He survived the darkness. Then he had to answer for it.

    For more than thirty years, Joshua T Berglan searched for relief in drugs, sex, manipulation, fantasy, and escape. The relief never lasted. The damage did.

    Told through ten intense episodes, The Devil Inside Me follows a wounded child into a life capable of devastating the people who loved him most—including himself.

    From childhood abandonment and violation to fatherhood, HIV, incarceration, and faith, Joshua confronts both what happened to him and what he chose to do afterward.

    This is not a neatly packaged redemption story. It is a record of the continuing war between the man he is becoming and the destructive impulses that once controlled him.

    “It is a warning about what can happen when pain is buried—and a testimony to what becomes possible when a person finally chooses to face it.”
