I started crying when Jennifer said pumps was her divorce lawyer. What an incredible friendship and support system ❤ love you guys!
I didn't realize Josh was a Mormon missionary. 😂
I've been 12 times. I'm 114 days sober today.
Keep it up 🎉
So proud of you! I am coming up on my 3 years. Keep going, my friend, you got this!
I absolutely love the vulnerability of this episode. Thank you all so much for openly talking about addiction and the harshness that is left in its path. Congratulations Josh. You are one of the lucky and hard working ones who made it.
My best friend and maid of honor passed away last Saturday of a heroin overdose. Her college degree was in political science. She always wanted to be a lawyer or activist; to fight for other people just like her so it's really nice to see Josh living out those dreams that she never got to Live out. Thank you for all the laughs when I needed them most 💕💕💕
I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending you love ❤️
So sorry for your loss 💜🌟lots of light for her, you, family & friends
i am so sorry for your loss 😢. xo
@@joshwelch_ thank you so much, her name was Jamie and she was so fucking cool. Going to her funeral Saturday is so surreal but, here to celebrate her! Thanks again for being so open Josh :)
@@suttonstrife1271Not religious but I have studied near death experiences for a very long time. I'm sure Jamie is very much alive in a different realm. My husband was a heroin addict and later abused methadone. He died in 2020 of liver failure due to cirrhosis from alcohol and hep c. It's such a complex disease. It will always be a loss but I feel better knowing that he is free.
Hell yeah, congratulations, Josh!!!
I'm a past heroin addict. I have now worked in a treatment center for over two years, I have two degrees, multiple publications, and I'm doing a Cognitive Neuroscience PhD right now to study addiction neuroscience!
Had 4 years as of June 24 of this year 🎉
I cried, I laughed, I left with life changing advice. I mean, 10/10, queens! ❤
Pumps: When you win something, you are insufferable
Jen: yes… 👁️👄👁️
From drug addiction to Tom ford suits, josh really is an inspiration for anyone struggling with addiction or any other issue. It’s truly amazing to see how you really can turn your life around, and have everything you want. Love you guys❤️
What an inspiring, vulnerable, and so so important story to be told from all angles - showcasing the beauty and connection that grows from accountability, pain, healing, and growth. Addiction is a disease that’s so misunderstood and destructive, I’m in awe of how effective this holistic story telling episode is. Y’all are fucking heroes.
BRAVO for this beautiful vulnerability. And mad claps to Josh for putting himself out there to fight for his license. I witnessed my father struggle with addiction as a kid, and the ensuing loss of his dental license and even a fun little stint in a rich men’s white collar prison. He came out insistent on doing better & being better. And 35 years later, he’s still sober, and just retired from dentistry after getting his license back many years ago. He now helps other health care providers struggling with addiction. I’m convinced that experience loving him through it made me tough enough to endure the loss of 2 of my 3 children in my adulthood. People often ask how I’m able to laugh and give two f’s after all I’ve been through and I think, man, these folks must’ve never been through more than their power going out in a storm. Love you guys. Great departure and glimpse into who you are behind the laughs.
🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵 what a strong & beautiful person you are. I’m so sorry for your losses & witnessing those struggles. You’re not alone. Thank you & Bravo to your vulnerability as well 👏🏾
Amazing episode. I lost my Mom to alcoholism in 2020. I also lost my older brother and my Dad all in 3 months time. My younger brother is a recovering alcoholic. I loved my mom so much and I stayed by her side until the bitter end. When everyone passed I didn’t know wtf to do. I was a mess. I’m glad I finally got help. I just take one day at a time. I turn 50 soon and I’m trying to embrace that shit! Big hugs to Josh and to you lovely ladies ❤❤❤❤
I quit drinking 2 weeks ago. This was what I needed at the right time. I appreciate you 🥺
Excellent! Keep up the great work! 👍
Congrats. One day at time.
Wow. This just goes to show that Jennifer and Pumps can host a podcast for the long haul. The way these three have shown vulnerability and humility in the short amount of time they've allowed us into their lives is remarkable. I love y'all. Keep up the good work, you make my week.
I thought it was so nice that Jen's husband recognized his wife's continued support throughout Josh's recovery. And also, Josh recognized his entire family's help, and the fact that they did not give up on him. I'm glad that Josh is now ready to go back to his Law Practice. 🙂
Called off my wedding because my ex is dealing with addiction and mental health issues. I wish all human beings would be this raw and talk this openly about addictions or any life struggle in general. It heals yourself and everyone who hears you because they know they're not alone. What a beautiful world we would live in. Josh and my Princess Diana of Podcasts, thank you both for your courage and willingness to be open with your story. Jennifer, you're one tough cookie and definitely one of my strong women role models on this journey. Humor and laughter is medicine. I love y'all 🤍
Kudos to Josh from a guy with almost 39 years of sobriety. One day at a time, take it easy. That said, he is a narcissist to a hilarious degree.
Case and point….Josh wearing is best church suit and shoes, while Jessica and Pumps are wearing jeans
Thats the best kind of narcissist
Is it hilarious 🥴? Because it gave me the ick right away 😭
@@Empressco it is in fact hilarious, yes
A narcissist? Honestly, calm down Dr. Frank-N-Furter, that's a serious diagnosis. He seems fine.
Holy crap, this has to be the most important podcast episode I've ever listened to... the way you all break down the process of your relationships from deterioration to rebuilding is just so brilliant. Love to you all.
one thing i think that's important that Josh touched on is how difficult those years were not just for him but for his loved ones. as loved ones to an addict, i'd say it can be even more difficult for them because they don't get to numb and anesthetize themselves when going thru these difficult times, while we as the addict, get to check out.
I agree with you 1 million percent!!!!
I’m one year sober this month. I am so happy to hear people normalizing these kinds of conversations so that others feel empowered to get the help they need. Thank you.
I’m THRILLED that Josh has been reinstated! You’re clearly such a brilliant man, Josh! My brother is also a criminal defense attorney and he’s an alcoholic. His story is playing out so differently. Josh’s success is a novelty. So often our loved ones succumb to their addiction. I’m so happy that our Jennifer and Pumps are bringing hope to others with Josh’s success! ❤️🏳️🌈💖😊
I see josh and I click, simple as.
Not me crying listening to y'all this morning! Talk about a REAL family. The love and bond between y'all. It takes real heart and real friends to stick around and support you through it all. I hate to say it but I'm going to brag on pumps. She could have grown to hate josh but she hasn't. She could have taked Jenn out of sticking with Josh but she didn't. It not easy in any position to see and live through additcton. I love y'alls trama bond 💙
Hands down the best episode of this podcast (so far!)
Congratulations Mr. Josh. Proud of you, as a fan. Pumps maybe the star host but he is THE star guest. ❤
Honestly one of the best episodes of I’ve Had It ever! Thank you Pumps and Josh for being vulnerable and inspiring others ❤ I think it’s time we just bring Josh on full time as co-host. It’s honestly what the people want
I am bawling my eyes out. I love you all so much.
When Josh was thanking Jennifer & Pumps just gently reached over and touched Jens leg....that moment was so beautiful ❤ I really felt the love between all 3 of you and how much you have fought for each other
Never have I felt so compelled to comment on a video like I did after watching this episode. Wow, thank you for shedding light on this. Josh, congratulations on your recent achievement and be PROUD of how far you’ve come. Jen & Pumps thank you for being so honest and real with your viewers. You can really tell that the friendship and love is there to last. Props to all! ❤
This was one of my favorite episodes. I love when Josh is on the show, and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to hear his story. Talking about addiction is extremely hard, but so important. ❤ Thank you and congratulations Josh!
as someone who's worked at rehab centres: this is an amazing story. Thank you to these 2 queens and Sheriff Jessica !
Sitting here bawling at 5 a.m. 😭
this show was so powerful and beautiful. it's strange when there's a change of tone in a show that's usually funny, but you did it so incredibly well. you are not only hilarious and smart, you have monumental hearts. had me sobbing at my job at the workshop.
thank you for speaking so openly about addiction, it made me reconsider some things that I need to change about my own sobriety.
My husband died 5 years ago this month as a result of his addiction. Much love to you all
No wonder why I love you all on this podcast, these people are such a testament to addiction and recovery is possible.
Ok I’m
13 minutes and 25 seconds in this video and the honesty, vulnerability and thee im healed enough from the pain to speak about it. It’s IMMENSELY appreciated! Thank you Jen, Pumps and Josh
You want to know what it is about you, Josh? It's the voice. It's so relaxing and soothing. It's like natural ASMR. It could put me to sleep, honestly!
Make me go from laughing to being financially capable to crying? What the Fuck!!? Love you all!
Not me crying every single time I watch this episode. 😭😭😭😭 Gosh, I love you guys. I hope to have a bond with people like you all have. You're amazing. ❤
Congratulations on a remarkable, important, vulnerable and beautiful episode. Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us. ☮️
This episode got me. It's difficult to get through pain but, at the end, we gotta be brave. This is a proof it's a thing we all pass through.
Congrats Josh on the bar license!!!! I am so happy that you three exist, and we need more Josh on I’ve Had It.
This was so raw and honest and will probably help so many see that there is absolutely hope for them if they struggle with the same demons. Seeing y’alls bond and genuine love for one another is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this. We love you all!
i just love you all. We know you use laughter to cope with life. You also bring us laughter, for us to cope with life. Thank you
I came here ready for the belly rolls and instead, cried my eyes out. The pure love is so clear. ❤
You are all incredible but today you've done a bigger service to so many people then you will ever know. Here is to many more amazing, love filled and joyous years. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for a beautiful conversation about addiction. I lost my mom at age 54 (rehab 3 times) my brother at age 42 (rehabs 5 times) and am an addict myself. I have been sober for 8 years and still struggle with depression. It is a family disease. And I think the best thing I learned through out the whole process is to remember who you are does not change who I am or how much I love you. I am proud of my mom and brother for fighting the disease the best the could even though the lost the battle. They are in gods rehab now healing and finding peace on the other since. Thank you for this episode. It matters and it helps all of us who suffer to be able to talk about addiction.
Thank you all for this episode. I love you Josh and thankful for our friendship.
Being one in recovery who identifies with all Josh said, thank you for that share. Especially about having the support system which I am forever grateful for too. Unfortunately, I was not able to reconcile my license, in my field, even with my addictionologist's help. All I can say is there is a reason step 9 is 9 in the process and why lawyers tell you to keep quiet from self-incrimination. What a beautiful friendship you all have. I'm teary listening to it.
This episode has me in tears. Thank you for your vulnerability ❤️
This was so gritty, validating, and uplifting. Best episode to date! Thank you for being so open about this.
My dad was a heroin addict and my mom was an alcoholic.
I myself have struggled with addiction, anxiety, and depression, but I’m trying my hardest to break the cycle. 🖤
keep trying , if you fuck up, try again, eventually the goodness in all of us wants to win out.
It's all of the above! The manscaping, the hotness, all the Joshness! I'm here for it.
Child of an addiction here 👋🏼 couldn't have come to this podcast at a better time, thank you 🙏🏼
I am so proud of him for going back for his license. Horraaay! We need more like him in these Oklahoma Courts
Josh, so happy for you and so proud of you. The road from addiction to sobriety is a long and tough one. Thank GOD for the love of your family got you through that time. Jenny much respect to you for not giving up on Josh. And Pumps, I'm sorry to hear that you also suffered from addiction. Thank you as well for being vulnerable. Sending Love to you all ❤
Pumps ex husband was an addict not her. 👍🏻🎃🇬🇧. Ian so sorry I stopped the episode just before Jen said about Pumps addiction, I knew about her ex but first time hearing about Pumps. 🥺
@@susanmerriman4520I initially thought the same. Was sad to hear pumps battled addiction as well :(
Can Josh just join the podcast at this point please?😂❤
If he becomes a part of the podcast he might dethrone Princess Diana! 😮
Yesssss! Give the people what they wanttt 👏🏻😁
Congratulations, Josh. That is quite an accomplishment. You should be very proud. Thank you for sharing your story.
Yes, y’all went there and we’re right there with you!Thank you doesn’t cut it, but holy smokes, grateful y’all had the sense to post this!
So much love, respect appreciation for all that y’all do! ❤
This was such an amazing episode. Thank you for sharing such raw emotional issues that so many of us are also going through.
All time favorite episode. Thank you for sharing your stories ❤
As someone who has been married to an amazing and passionate man for the last 24 years and loving him through his addictions, all while trying to insulate our children to the best of my ability, I have only love and compassion for you all. Thank you for your vulnerability and willingness to intricately break everything down. This will be healing for many, as it was for me.
Love you guys so much. All the love and support. Thank you for being so vulnerable, huge inspiration. I laughed and cried ❤️
I’m a recovering addict, and this has by far been my favorite episode, because it truly touched my heart. I’m proud of you Josh & Pumps, and Jennifer you are a wonderful woman to be there for them both and stick it out by showing them love & there’s more to life than addiction ❤
As someone who is still figuring out how to put their life back together after similar problems, this episode really hit home. Thank you for talking about it in such a relatable and inspirational way.
Ps Josh is hot. If he was a single gay man I would absolutely invite him to spend some quality time inside me.
Let’s not get it twisted though, he needs to understand that Pumps and Jennifer are the undisputed stars of this podcast. Looking forward to seeing you ladies live in 🇬🇧 next week 🙌
When Jennifer said someone is listening w AirPods on rn and relating to the struggle , I coulda cried 😊 happy that pumps opened up to w her own struggle that was really interesting. Also, go Joshy!!! ❤
I know yall don’t wanna hear it but i’ll feed into Josh, I am so excited every time I see he’s the guest! He’s just like me, his humor is so one of a kind.
Tears of endearment… thank you for the transparency. Proud of y’all to come out the other end of that monster. Thank y’all.
I am apple podcast audio listener, but I wanted to come to RUclips to congratulate Josh :) Thanks for sharing your story with us! And Josh, you are right-- you are the best guest on I've Had it 😂 Stay humble king!
Welcome back to law. Our state is happy to have you back in the saddle again. Congrats.
This episode was incredible, was hooked the whole time. Josh really has BALLS to be able to share his story that open. Wishing nothing but the best on his (old) new law career!
To the other Josh (Hawley): this is what being a REAL man is. Sensitivity and vulnerability are part of the equation.
My God. Let permanent record show that your awesomeness has no bounds. I love you all for sharing. You had me in tears. Thank you for sharing and a huge congratulations to Josh. Love you all to the moon and back. 🌎 ❤ 🌙
What a wonderful episode! I wish I had a close friendship like the one Jen and Pumps have. I just haven’t met any solid females in South Florida. And I think it’s hard to make a solid best friend when you’re in your 40s especially for a female.
Thank you so much for making my day - every day, sometimes twice a day. This episode is so touching. I already loved y'all but now I love you even more! My husband is 4+ years sober, his license reinstatement is pending. He is the manager of permanent supportive housing at a sober homeless shelter, and it adds so much meaning to his life to support others with addiction. All three of you - keep up the amazing work with personal sobriety, the messaging of support for others fighting addiction, your podcast and my favorite news channel. Shout-out to Kiley and Richard! ❤
“Do better with an exclamation point” was so inspiring to me, and Josh I can’t imagine the struggle to get here and it’s inspired me to dig my heels in on the PA school application I’ve been neglecting
omg I'm over the moon so happy for him ! Josh dear WELL DONE , I know the road to here and now must have been hard and the path going forward may seem scary but just have FAITH and TRUST in the LOVE your family and now us too have for you and you will be just fine . Big ol {{{hugs }}} to you darlin.
The transparency in this episode is so so beautiful ❤
I just married my husband a month and a half ago after 13 years of friendship. He was a heavy addict and now a year sober and I loved this episode and vulnerability. It is very hard. Love you ladies. And congrats Josh
This was such a brilliant episode! Well done and congratulations, Josh! Super handsome inside and out🙌👏.
My algorithm playing your vids after a show is always so nice. You guys have such good voice tones.
Congratulations, Josh, what an amazing example of strength and healing.
Autoplay just played the most beautiful intro my ears could ever hear. I forgot I was saving this episode for after work... And the algorithm did its' fucking God damn job for fucking once. Great to be back!!! Keep the good fight going! (I really wanna put #blessed but I just can't bring myself to do it )
I bloody love this so much. I am the child of addicts, one of which succumbed to their illness 5 years ago. I was also an addict, because, yes, running from so much pain BUT I did exactly what Josh talks about, faced the pain & the worst part, the shame. I am absolutely a better person for it today. I know how it feels from both sides, & I can say with my whole heart & soul that y’all are truly amazing. Well done Josh, well done Jennifer. This is a victory for all of you. I hope you relish in it & stay proud of yourselves, always ❤
I cried, I laughed, I cried again. My marriage ended with an alcoholic. Kuddos to you all for doing the work. I love this podcast so much.
just started the pod, gonna finish it after work today but had to say i'm so unbelievable happy and proud to hear about Josh and his law license. i am also in recovery, 7 years sober from opiates this july! every day is something to be proud of and to count as a blessing. GO JOSH!!!
I cried watching this episode, having been married to and with a severe alcoholic and addict for many, many years. Thank you.
Thank you for this episode. I myself have battled with addiction for decades now and it's really heartening to know that the 3 of you as amazing as you are have been through it helps
I’m so grateful for this episode. My entire immediate family hast struggled with addiction in the past and are now all sober and in recovery. Some have been for 20 years. It’s hard for those who have never been around it to understand it
I see josh and click immediately his slow delivery is so hilarious
The pain and victory of recovery. This podcast was next level, and shows the wisdom of lived experience and the power of love. It should be required viewing for anyone suffering from addiction. And they're right: humor is a release valve that helps restore balance. In that vein, I suggest that Josh, Mr. Hotness, grace us with a video of his next manscaping adventure!
Absolutely your BEST show. The best and most honest I have ever heard on addiction..
Beautiful episode from all three of you. Thank you all for sharing in such a candid way some of the immense hardships you've faced in life. I'm very happy you all have had one another through everything and have taken it up on yourselves to speak openly about some hard shit we all face and show that there is light to be found amongst the clouds. Storms will roll by, sometimes you get soaked, but you can always dry off.
When I saw pumps cry I lost it and then cried the entire time ! Held it in . But when Angie wiped her eyes , I lost it !
Loved this episode. Addiction has touched my family including me. Going through what Josh went through and getting his license back is incredible. I went through a similar thing in the medical field and I am glad I am back practicing again.. like Josh I am a better person snd a professional because of it. My empathy is real and I love helping my patients.
What an incredibly touching, honest, vulnerable conversation. Thank you for sharing this part of your lives with us. Your perfect delivery of dry humor to assuage the pain really hits for me.
Addiction has been such a prominent topic in my life because many people close to me have been addicts and are now sober. Hearing a sober addicts pov just makes you appreciate sobriety more, it is a beautiful thing. Love the addict hate the drug is how I lived a lot of my life this was beautiful.
Spotify listener here, but had to come to YT to comment. Thank you guys for this episode, it hit home as someone with an addict parent. I laughed, cried, then laughed again.
Kudos to Jennifer and her boys for exposing their private life in order to bring hope to others. Much respect for Jennifer.
This is such a beautiful friendship
With tears streaming down my face....thankyou. ♡
