How do I even articulate how much you bring to the world? I'm just an older lady that watches TH-cam instead of TV and ran across your channel. I'm just in awe of how far you've come and I just know you will go even further. When you started talking about time, it brought tears to my eyes. You're just so dang smart. Congratulations to you for everything you do!
Oh my goodness. Your comment melted my heart. ❤❤❤ Thank you so so much for your kind words. What a special thing to wake up to today. 🥲 I appreciate you so much 🙏
Congratulations on becoming monetized. I’m a retired ICU nurse. Nursing is an extremely stressful occupation, so I understand well the heightened risk of addiction. Thank you for sharing your life and your story with us. You are inspiring.
Thank you so much! I’m so happy to be here with you. Thanks for your time as an ICU nurse. You have helped and inspired many, and you are still inspiring me today 🙂
Whats up brother! I was hooked on Kratom for a long time too..and a ton of other crap...congrats on your recovery! Your channel is blowing up because theres a ton of functional addict working out there..nurses, hairstylists, mechanics, everywhere...people need help..your story gives hope and perspective...thank you..
Randomly came upon your channel! don't ask me how when I was watching something about a sinking cruise ship LOL that's the internet for you! But anyhoo don't feel to bad about your house arrest because sh*t you probably still get out a lot more then me & others, I work from home for years now (love it) & hate going shopping anymore even lol, so I take advantage of all the delivery/shopping services we have nowadays etc, but ya besides having to wear that ankle thing and report into to people your doing great it looks like, this is long winded, but I did have a question actually! are you allowed to have a pet? Congrats on your monetization 🎈🙌🤟
Hey! Thanks for watching! That’s so weird, I was just watching videos about sinking ships 😂 what a world we live in. Yeah, I actually have gained a tremendous amount from having the perfect excuse to not have to go do anything with anyone. Ironically, there is a lot of freedom in that. I do miss being in nature through. Anyway, to answer your question, I don’t have a pet right now, but I am allowed to have one. Before I was arrested I had the perfect golden retriever. Losing her was definitely the hardest thing about getting locked up. But she was adopted by a friend of a friend so I still get to see her sometimes. I think I will wait until I can be outside before I consider another dog. Thanks for watching. I loved reading your comment 😁
@@SmilesforMiles2024 get a cat they are great to & easy and loving companions! I had an awesome one sadly she passed away in Feb of last year, Look up the breed Russian Blue they are very nice & loyal, If you can find an older one to adopt all the better, If you never had a cat before either it can be a great learning experience! Mine taught me so much, they are just trained or whatever differently than dogs, Plus you get some company but they are chill as they sleep like 12-16 hrs a day 😁
Congratulations on becoming monetized! I am 70 years old. I sold my home and all of my furniture in Sonoma, CA in November 2020, and ended up in Virginia Beach. Some day all I want is to buy a little home or condo because I do not have the energy or enthusiasm to furnish another home! All I own is in my Xterra and the room I rent in a condo! I just found you today. I am feeling a connection. All the best.
Retired Theatre RN here, from Scotland. Congratulations Brian. I follow quite a few TH-cam channels..all types- You certainly deserve my social media currency. Ive told my daughter to sub to you too. I love that you still have a great drive, having endured real difficulties over the last few years..👏 I hope eventually you will consider writing a book. It will be interesting to nurses I'm sure. Again...Well done on monetisation.🎉❤ 🏴 🇺🇸
Thank you again. Maybe a book one day. Haha 😂 I can’t imagine writing a whole book. But who knows how this journey will unfold. I’ve always wanted to visit Scotland! I hope I can still go there with a felony now 😅
I don’t know how I stumbled across your channel but I’m really glad I have. I think your transparency about your life pre and post prison is not only a gutsy thing to do, it’s another person; another step forward helping others understand and dispel the stigma around drug misuse and what it looks like for every person irrespective of who you are and what you do in the world. I’m looking forward to hearing much more. 😊
P.S I was a palliative care nurse for over 15 years but left to move into middle management just before covid (I swear I didn’t know! 😂) Most nursing, from top t bottom is a tough gig.
We are looking forward to the evolution of your channel. Interviewing others who are also on their own journey of living a healthy life would be a great addition to your channel. Today you have hope…and goals. Clearly you are motivated and have come a long way since your arrest. Brian, you are inspiring. I’m glad you’re on TH-cam, sharing your story. Congratulations on getting monetized.
You are enough❣️ Remain in gratitude and you will manifest a beautiful reality. Your home is gorgeous. Reflect on your progress and commitment to be the best version of yourself. Sharing your journey with the intention of helping others is your life purpose. Grateful you embraced the process and allowed yourself to break open thereby allowing the light to shine upon the darkness. When we make such choice, true healing begins. You are so very loved❣️
Utube is perfect for learning and supporting all the ups and downs in life. We learn from each other. Keep going please. You are articulate and I struggle with that. Thank you for your words. I am utube red🎉
👏 👏 👏 I’m not sure how I even stumbled upon your channel but I am glad that I did! I have family members who have been in and out of prisons, and I have had my own issues with addictions, so I’m interested in the initial topic. I enjoy the format of your videos and think you have lots of really worthwhile experiences to share, even the small clips about your cutlery had me thinking about why I have so many *things*!?? I’m excited to see what the future looks like for you, sending congrats from 🇬🇧 😊🎉
Wow, thank you so much for this. I’m so glad you are here. I’ve got a huge smile on my face from reading your comment. You’re awesome for taking the time to say that. Nothing but love for you my friend ❤️❤️
New viewer ur channel was recommended to me I was a registered dietitian working sometimes In ICU almost became an addict from that!!!! To xanax was horrible now I am working remote minimum wage job and finding myself! tube feeding city!!!!! Propofol lol
Congrats! I am so happy to hear this. You are on the fast pace to the right trajectory. Sober 13 years and I’m here to tell you that it does get easier and you can do this!
Gotta love the TH-cam algorithm. I'm based in Australia and was watching something that was completely different to your channel, but yet your video was the next it recommended to me. Having grown up in a Medical family (sadly I never followed suit), I can fully understand about your situation. Even as a kid, whenever I was and ear or shoulder for someone, my own mortality was subconsciously drummed into me. I truly hope, once your time is completed indoors, that you can be that person on a stage that can inspire others to seek help or to even minimise what is important v's clutter/noise. One thing is for sure, by making weekly videos, you have 1 up on 99% of the population. You will have a digital diary of your 'Life after the beginning'. Right now for me, I'm going to go watch your channel from the beginning, because after seeing x2 videos, you and your voiced experiences are worth my time!
Love this video! Congrats on getting monetized even though I’m a few months late. I’m learning a lot from you and wish you the best of luck on getting off parole soon!
Im extremely addicted to kratom like how you started idk what to do. I believe if i didnt become addicted to kratom theres a good chance id be addicted to a different opiate. Its been 8 years. Both my parents died during my addiction. Every bit of pain i avoided with kratom, I'm afraid i will have to pay for it if i quit. There's no cheat codes to life, nothing is free, i will have to pay for all pain i have avoided through my addiction. Problem is, i'd rather cease to exist than face the pain. Literally.
I was pretty heavy into Kratom. Burning throw 300 count bags in a couple days etc. You can do it. Basically what I did was I just stopped, and when I felt some significant Withdrawal symptoms I would take just the amount to help the withdrawal to subside. Eventually I was able to wean off. It is possible, don’t lose hope.
When I was in law enforcement, one of my favorite family members was an addict. I have no idea how your videos came into my feed. Maybe it is the algorithm gods. Or maybe it is the spirit of my favorite family member reminding me to hold tight to my humanity. Either way, I am happy I found you and I am happy for you.
Congratulations on getting monetized!!! I have a small TH-cam channel and I'm trying to grow it so that I can make more. It's so nice to make money doing TH-cam. :)
Your complaining about having "free time" scheduled and managed is a "tell" that you are using some older patterns of thinking. Plain fact is you absolutely don't have a history of managing yourself well. Those committed to sobriety seek accountability. Be careful.
agree and to me the heading shows he loves getting over, like he beat the man lol wouldn't give long odds on the dude but maybe he can transfer restless energy to this channel and go at it hard. sure he has had regrets for torching his life. No way has the story been a victimless one, because he himself gave up so much. shit like this is depressing af and I don't think it helps any other addicts because most feel bulletproof. maybe it lends some insight for families and friends.
Congratulations 🎈 So awesome 👏 you deserve this. You inspire me! And I definitely loved seeing your “pad” and living the minimalist life 😂 and seeing those empty clean drawers just gave me goosebumps of hope for myself as clutter is everywhere. Looking forward to seeing all your videos.
I know, I know 😅 I need to get on that. I’ve never really used social media in my life before so I have been slow to get on it. But I know I definitely need to start figuring that out 😂. I am really honored that you are interested though. I’ll make it happen probably when I get off of house arrest and can be outside of this room more 😂
Yay!! Now drug dealer nurse gets money for all the sympathy he so badly deserves for his own decisions. Wonder how much of the monetization is going towards your victims.
@@SmilesforMiles2024 I believe we are all connected in this world. You are truly doing some good things. People need to hear your stories and your voice. Take care. 🥰

Someday the no passes on holidays will make total sense
