JoshuaDTV is a place where you can be yourself and be accepted for it. I believe in love and a lot of my content reflects that. Life isn't always fair or kind...but if we continue to strive for the good...if we continue to get back up after being knocked down... what can stop us from being the best version of ourselves? Don't just survive...THRIVE. Be Nice to People.

This is it, Josh. THIS is your content. This is what we love. This is it, you’re killing it, and we love being an audience to it💜
Christi Peabody yes!!
Yupyup!!
Same!!! What she said! Lol
Yas
Yup! What she said 👆
I have the app as well Josh. I got off of Narcotics after 18 years addicted because of a chronic pain illness. Ive been sober since December 8th 2019.
so so so happy for you!
Good job!! You got this
Thanks so much for the kindness!
That’s amazing! Way to go!
I promise this isn’t as creepy as it sounds, but you pop into my head at least once a day. Each time, I always send some good vibes/thoughts and a prayer or two your way. All this is to say: Even in moments you feel absolutely alone, someone out there is thinking of you; rooting for you, and wishing wellness to you. You’ve been a great friend over the years. We’re not going anywhere, man. Here for you through the ups and the downs. I mean that wholeheartedly.
i love this comment so much. ♥️
8:06 Josh says “That’s Pamela over there,” and I, an obvious intellectual, looked right into the glowing crescent moon shape and thought, “Ah, yes, Pamela’s pure spirit has turned her into pure energy.”
i like the way your brain works
JoshuaDTV I genuinely was so shocked to see her in human form 😂
Josh, I feel you are the most genuine person I watch on UA-cam. I know you have gone through the trifecta these last many years and I am honestly so proud of you. A lot of people would not be on the other end like you are right now. I just wanted to thank you for posting when you post and what you post! You and your family are all such beautiful people. EDIT: I'm at the night part of the video now and wanted to add that lately I too have been struggling at night. Almost every night I have been having a full panic attack when I get into bed and I have horrific dreams. Maybe from stress? I am not sure. Nighttime is hard, and you aren't alone!
In addition to your app, I encourage you to really dig in to your Bible every day, Josh...it’s the best source of advice, encouragement and life!! ❤️
Really loving this videos Josh, keep them coming. Hope you’re doing good!
every time I watch your vlogs I'm pleasantly overwhelmed and ALWAYS say "gosh I'm so glad you're back". I'm glad you took time for yourself. But I'm so happy you're back Josh and thanks for being so real and showing the good and tougher times. Its helpful. You're just overall a blessing dude.
What a great inspirational quote. Try to become a person of value. I felt that 💖. I know we don’t know each other personally, but I am so very proud of you! You’re awesome and your honesty is always refreshing! Keep fighting the good fight. So happy to see you posting again. Missed seeing your face! Hugs to you, and your sweet wife! Enjoy the rest of the week and keep finding the good in everyday. Love y’all! 💖💖💖
Watching your recent videos has made me so happy. Seeing how far you have come in your own journey with mental health and self love is insanely inspiring. I’m especially grateful that you decided to start posting more during the quarantine. I feel like in working on and overcoming many of the hardships you have faced, you have gained so much wisdom, and in sharing that, you’re helping me feel like I can get through the rough patches in my own life, including this pandemic. In this video you share a quote about how people should seek not to be successful, but to be valuable. You and your words have been infinitely valuable to me during this time - thank you so much. Hoping you and yours are well, and sending all the love and positivity your way!
Now that Ive watched the whole video, the end is what hit the most. Ive gone through A LOT in the past few years that have made me a completely different person than I used to be. Many of my trials have negatively effected me. My single mother passed away from a 10 year battle with cancer in 2017, I broke up with someone who Id been with 5 years just prior to that happening, I had a random seizure in 2018, so many things that brought on new anxieties and what I believe to be some kind of traumatic disorder. I understand COMPLETELY with your sit down at the end of this video. I am trying new things to get out of this severe depression and mental anxieties and although a lot of days are good... some days just suck. Ive learned for the most part that, it is totally okay to have your sad days. I dunno, Ive adapted this idea that my emotions and anxieties are like the weather. I have a LOT of sunny days with highs of 75 and blue skies, however, there are some days where its a light drizzle to a steady rain, and even then, I can have nasty thunderstorm days. I like a little rain from time to time, it shows me Im human, but Ive also learned that its okay to retreat to my comfort zone on those nasty thunderstorm days. Not saying to fall back into unhealthy patterns, but what Im saying is that its okay and totally human to want to find safety and shelter in those windier rainer days. Im glad you are finding shelter within your wife and not trying to search for it alone. I often find myself missing the chaos of who I was before my seizure, however I find comfort in feeling anything cause it reminds me I am alive. You are so so so worth this journey ahead of you. You are worth the sunny days. You are worth the sad days. Just dont let the rainy days keep you inside for ever in fear of getting wet. I mean hey, we all like to dance in the rain sometimes right?
thank you so much for sharing your story. my heart goes out to you and I hope you have many many wonderful moments ahead of you
Your videos are great. You are being real about life and daily momentary struggles that haunt us all in many different ways. Keep up the good work and I celebrate with you and Pamela as you succeed in another day sober.
You’re not alone! I’m glad you’re allowing yourself to feel your feelings. It’s so important!
My goodness you sound and seem so different these days - quite grounded, self-reflective, and just 'being you'. Bravo and truly it's inspiring. Honesty and authenticity shines the brightest every time.
Josh...TRUE STRENGTH of character & GROWTH, is admitting you had/have a problem and taking addressing that problem one day at a time. Alcoholism runs in my family & I have personally battled it. Just know that it's completely NORMAL to feel down sometimes & not know why. & YES, even in recovery. And you actually vervalizing this to me...like seriously HELPED ME so much. Thank you!!!! You're incredible Josh. You're a hero. And I admire you. I'm sooooo happy for you that you and Pamela have each other & that she supports you in this journey of sobriety. MUCH LOVE & happy healthy blessings to you and yours!!!
I love you and Pamela, Josh! You will always have bad days but choosing to end the day on a positive takes courage. I’m so proud of you, every single day. ❤️ you guys!
I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m so glad to see Josh in my feed again. I’ve always thought you were incredible ❤️
I’m so happy you are videos again! I have been battling depression and anxiety since I was 20 and I’m now 47 and everyday is a struggle. My choice of drug is eating! I’m addicted to it! I have even had gastric bypass to help me to stop which did work for a year and I lost 100lbs but then I stopped and started eating horrible again! Everyday is a struggle and seeing you do so well encourages me to keep trying so thank you!!
I’m so happy this is your life now. You seem so happy. I’m so happy your life is going the direction it is. I hope the future is just the same!!!
This makes my heart happy. You deserve happiness, I’m glad you’re doing well.
Omg all the pups ❤❤❤❤❤
Great video, no surprise there! They give me so much joy and peace.
Love you, Josh and fam ❤
One day at a time is really one hour at a time sometimes. Good job. Proud of you.
You and Pamela are the most genuine people on UA-cam.. Sobriety is a tough journey.. Look forward to your desired destination.. One foot in front of the other.. Its not easy but look forward to the future.. Tomorrow is the future.. Today is history.. Put all the bad behind you and continue to grow and flourish... Your positivity is addictive.. Focus on being the positive roll model for us fans... A little music now and then from you and Pamela would be nice . Loved the music vids you and family made.. Continue with your passions.. We all love you both... !!!
That's it Josh, keep it real for us. It is only the autenthic that we are able to conect to. Opting for the right choices most of the time hurts but that's okey. You get good at it and get a sense of pride in yourself
I love that app! It's actually helped me and everyone in my group. It's so good to see you so chipper. Thanks for making videos.
Just woke up. (In Aus) New Josh video. Yay. Sometimes we just don't feel ok, and that's ok. There doesn't have to be a reason. Not everyone understands it. I binge watch idiotic tiktok's. Or try to go to bed early. Glad you're doing better Josh.
Melissa Larken Good morning!
Good for you Josh! Keep up the good work! It works if you work it!!!!!!
So grateful to have your vlogs back, for however long you decide to keep doing them. It's like getting to visit my friend again. ☺️
And a struggle is okay. So proud of you for how you’re dealing with your struggles. Makes my heart happy to know you’re in a better mindset even if it doesn’t always feel that way. ❤️ I look up to you!
My mom actually passed away a little over a year ago due to alcohol addiction. I am very proud that you found the strength to become sober, because I have seen firsthand just how destructive alcohol can truly be to you and the ones you love. Best of luck to you and I look forward to each day that you add to your days of sobriety.
so sorry for your loss Malena
Love to see such a refreshed, goofy, happy Josh 😊 I can literally feel you glowing...does that make sense? Lol
you have come so far! good for u to be so much more you, very inspiring.
Hey Josh, just wanted to say that WE love you ❤️ and these videos are the best I’m constantly laughing out loud 😋 thanks for putting smile to out faces!!!
Congratulations on (almost) 50 days 🎉 I am having a rough day (emotionally) and I enjoyed your video. So, thank you. I like seeing the happiness you and Pamela have. Also where is your merch shop I didn’t see it in your description or maybe I overlooked it? Keep up the videos! ❤️
I really missed this type of content from you- have been watching you for YEARS ❤️ It is a blessing to see you laughing and inspiring people and singing and just truly being happy again ❤️
Oh gosh I totally do that same thing! (don't have a Kroger but yeah... still same thing) Just being out sitting in a car makes life seam slightly more normal.
i'm sure people outside are like...is that dude always here just staring at cars?
Dont know you, never met you, but I’m very proud of you.
When things start to get to much for me with my PTSD I try draw, read, paint, sometimes write anything I can focus my mind on to escape whatever is going on that day. Sometimes I don't even know why it's like that. Glad you have a amazing family for support 🙂
Josh, I’m saying this bc I care...........
Get a new phone case please. ❤️
i know i know i know i knowwwwwww...... also I'm cheap
@@JoshuaDTV josh you're frugal :) and so am i.... didnt even notice it, is it broken?
Amazon works great! You don't have to go out to buy it😁👍🏻
@@JoshuaDTV SAVE YOUR MONEY! You are enough and I think your finally beginning to see it yourself.
@@JoshuaDTV I take it you don't have any more of your Up Angles phone cases, eh?
That quote is realllllll good, I like it
The Einstein quote you gave was 🔥🔥🔥👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👼💓🌠🌌☺️🙌🏻💯👌🏻👏🏻👍🏻🙏🏻❣️😁
Oof i always forget how good-looking you are! My Nan is an alcoholic and hearing you talk about it really helped me explain it to some of my friends. Thank you ❤️
hope she's ok! it's an ongoing struggle but there can be a light if we want it bad enough
JoshuaDTV Thank you so much ❤️. x
My 6 year marriage just ended. And I have been "clinically depressed" since I was 10. I'm your age. Some moments are good, some are bad. I feel you Josh. Keep it up.
you are worthy. you are loved. you are enough Kelli :)
Proud of you, Josh! Enjoyed every minute of the vlog 👍
Loving these vlogs! :)
You look healthier than ever! Keep it up!
Omg! I'm definitely coming to steal that dog, the white one, he's so cute! Lol......It's so amazing to see you truly happy, and healthy again! I'm so proud of you for getting sober, staying sober, and just being you again. You're an incredible, compassionate person, and I'm so happy that you're Josh again! I relate to everything you talk about, and it feels good knowing I'm not alone. So, thank you for making these videos, they really do help me. ❤💋
Keep going Josh it only gets better . Love you . ❤️⭐️✌🏾🙏🏽😇😎
OOOOOOH I was not prepared for that FIRE remix at 4:10
CHAD LEVEL 10
Pamela's hair is gorgeous!
Josh, have a look into doing a sleep study for sleep apnea. As you get older the muscles of your throat relax and can cause partial to full closures which can result in snoring. :) Even if you come back as negative to sleep apnea there’s other products that can help with breathing issues during the night! :)
Hi Josh--I know Pamela was part of the worship team at her church in New York. Have you and Pam been able to attend a church there in Georgia? Being a part of a local church is such a big support!
Josh:*opens the door*
Me: He has the force😯
a young Obi Wan perhaps
@@JoshuaDTV indeedy doo!!
I feel like anyone who knows Pamela is so lucky! I would love to be her friend!
I like Joshua. I like his family. I like his videos. I like Joshua. ♥
Loving these positive videos 💕 but DETHAW?! Cmon Josh!! 😂
Same.
seeing you with the chicken made me remember you hating on zaxbys so I just wanna say ZAXBYS IS LIFE
De-thawing. Is that a California thing? Another UA-camr says that in her vlogs. It’s defrost or thaw. 😁
That sounds like an amazing app! In two days, I've been sober from narcotics for 15 years. I'm 31 now, but I didn't think I'd even see my 18th birthday. I took it one day at a time and I still do. It's a good mind set to have. I hope someday you see your 15th sobriety birthday 🤗😄
15 YEARS!!!!! you inspire me!
De-Thawing would mean you're freezing it.
Subscribed!!!
Early squad!! ❤️
Ps. I’m proud of you. Wish I could stop.
Omg what kind of dog is Charlie? Haha I have a Charlie too! And my Charlie has a similar body shape, short legs and floppy cute ears, except he's mostly brown haha
Do u have an adjustable bed? It really helps to sleep a bit elevated...then flat on your back...and having legs a bit lifted keeps stress off your lower back. Yes! I do sell furniture...lol...or used too...on furlough 🤪
Why is there a car seat in the back?
Keep sober honey, I know it must not be the easiest thing to do, but it's soooooooooo worth it. Ask God's help and guidance too :)
What happened to your merch?
Baked Avocado? Details!
Love ya, Josh. ..but it's just "thaw" ..not "de-thaw" xoxox
Keep up the great work!
Baked avocado? I’ve never heard of it and I’ve been eating avocado since before it was cool. How does it taste?
Pamela is literally the best person you could possibly be with.
Yeah for vlogs...a day in the life.
So glad you get to hang with family and be goofy with the wife. Such a great match.
Kayla Renee I agree! I think Pamela is his soul mate. ☺️😊💓❣️🌠🌌🌟⭐️✨✳️❤️👏🏻😍😊 I love her and him together! I'm digging these vlogs sooooo hard Josh!!! Love & many healthy blessings to you & yours!!!
Pamela is absolutely the best choice you’ve made in life. She has the perfect amount of goofy, understanding and joy which I think levels you. From what I’ve watched and heard you say, you don’t DEPEND on her to be ok because let’s face it, depending on someone to keep you afloat isn’t fair to them, but you definitely go to her as a sounding board and you are able to walk through life with her surrounded in unconditional love. I have the same thing with my husband. I call him my security blanket because if I’m feeling down or panicked, I can tell him exactly how I feel without judgement. But it’s up to me to pick myself up and change my mind frame knowing he’ll walk that journey with me. I love your relationship. You guys scream soulmates.
this comment is 100% how i feel :) glad you have your non judgemental security blanket too
I have been watching josh for a while & over the past few weeks it finally feels like Josh is back to his joyful & goofy self. it is so encouraging to see how far he has come & just the steps he has been taking to be a better version of himself. Josh, if you are reading this thank you for being vulnerable with us. you are a true inspiration & I love seeing you happy!!!
i did read this and THANK YOU
The sadness is your brain re-balancing itself. We need moments of brain sadness to get to the moments of brain happiness.
Yes!! It means you're healing 💜
Inside Out taught us that!!
The dark feelings at night can be the remains of undealt pain. During the day you don't have to deal with it, but then at night, you are alone with your thoughts in the dark silence.
The more you face the pain bravely without drinking, the faster your feelings will get lighter. The brain rewires new connections when we learn something new, and the sky is the limit from there. Plus, ASMR in headphones can quiet the head chatter at nights.
You are doing a great job!
Nobody:
Not even a soul:
Josh: SQUERSH
“I COULD WEAR MY OWN MERCH!...that’s sad” I died😂 ILY!💖
Borat came out in 2006. Just didn't want anyone to be let down since I haven't seen it in the comments yet!
John in this comment section with the win
*joshua goes into the bathroom turns on his camera walks out of bathroom the re enters the bathroom just to start the video*
i actually had a part where i mentioned that exact truth but edited it out because i sounded too harsh on myself :)
@@JoshuaDTV the fact that you recognized you were being too hard on yourself just proves you're growth❤ I loved that part and went back 2 or 3 times just to see you enter hehe
Josh, don’t pin the bad remarks. You are giving them importance by doing so and then they will only continue. Ignore them and eventually the idiots will go away. Keep doing what you’re doing and if you want to live a life with value you have to value yourself.
YOU CAN DO IT! STOP FOCUSING ON THE BAD COMMENTS IT’S WHAT THEY WANT! THOSE COMMENTS MEAN NOTHING!
Josh, I just cannot get over your hair! It looks like "Excel Goes To Georgia". Your just where you should be, alcohol isn't easy to kick, even after 40 some days, but give time, time. So happy for you and your family Josh! Please, please, more vids!
thank you friend
Anyone else wondering about the baby car seat in his back seat???
His sister has a baby so maybe he helps with the baby sometimes.
My emotions are all over the place. Like, every single day during this quarantine. Up and down. Hang in there. You’re doing great!
Hi friend! I'm so glad that you're doing so well. Recently some of your 2013-2015 videos have been coming up on my feed, and I have to say you seem so much less stressed and so much happier now. I'm truly happy for you.
I've been sober for 3 years now and know first hand how hard it can be / the mind games. The biggest lie I had to battle with was "just one" or "it will be fine in moderation" or "I'm fine if I drink a little, I just can't get out of control". THEY ARE LIES. Do not listen to them. Life is sooooo much better when you are actually there for it and not escaping from it. It just takes time to realize that.
Hang in there and put your faith in God instead of yourself. I know I can let myself down, but He NEVER has and never will let me down. He will give you the strength to get through it if you depend on Him. Our strength isn't enough to get us through, but His always is. Love you and your family!
So it's not just me? I was also served up a video from Josh's first channel.
Josh: *Dramatically opens and shuts door*
Me: Bae 😍😍
lol :)
JoshuaDTV So cute 😂
Also, I just love Pamela. She seems like such a genuine, sweet person!
You are trying to stay away from alcohol cause it numbs you in all the wrong ways... And I am trying to stay away from food and lose way cause it is destroying me and my life as well. You said it! Some days are harder but we have to push it .. one. Day. At. A. Time... One day at a time josh! I am with you on this self discover/ finding balance and happiness journey.. you are not alone! We inspire eachother ❤️ kiss Pamela and appreciate her she has a heart of gold just like yours
*I'm so very proud of you! You're doing such a wonderful job, Josh! Also, please come out with more merch! I'd love to buy more from you again! Love you! You always have my support!*
i been struggling with some stuff too, and you are very right. some days will suck but you have to take it one moment at a time.. stick to it man, you seem a lot better right now than you have in quite a while.. btw, that haircut came out dope as hell dude!!! much love!!!
i feel better in so many ways!
when he said dethawing i thought of.....iykyk
"Welcome to Jurassic Park"..I love it! You've got this Josh!
There’s a car seat in the back of that car...did Erin move back to Georgia or is there something we don’t know
Your sobriety story is really inspiring me to just give it a go myself. I'm suffering from multiple mental illnesses coupled with substance abuse, so I REALLY understand what you're going through. It's so rough, but I hope to have good days like you one day. Thank you for talking about it and sharing your journey. You're encouraging me to kick addiction in the butt, so you've helped at least one person. Thanks again and keep on being you
I respect you Josh, you’re so strong. Pin this comment instead
Josh it's thaw, not dethaw. Dethaw would technically mean you freeze it again.
this is true... i am now educated and thankful ;) can't believe i've been saying it wrong for SOOOO long (honestly I've been saying it like that for years)
@@JoshuaDTV I feel like a lot of us Southerners say dethaw because we mix up defrost and thaw lol! You're doing amazing Josh, it's good to see you vlogging again. I think I speak for a lot of us when I say that we missed you.
Defrost is the word youre looking for...lol
Thank you for posting this. I've been fighting with myself since I heard him say Dethaw....should I be pedantic or let it go? High five, Lady!
@@0622MJ Same! LOL
“De-thaw”? So you’re gonna freeze the chicken 👀😂
I have to tell you how good it is to see you healthier and happy. You are such a precious gift and blessing to us. You have so many talents to share. Your humor is so refreshing and brightens my day. I love your singing, and wouldn't mind if you wanted to sing in all your vlogs. I know you are currently vlogging to help with your finances but I hope you are finding support, love and kindness from the UA-cam community. You and your family are in my prayers. Keep up the good fight because you are so worth it.
