This is EXACTLY what I was thinking!! So many of us live like we are on house arrest! We gotta get out there and get more involved with our lives 🙌❤️❤️
But there is. He showed the generic version of his life. If you pay close attention on his ride home from work, he says he can't deviate from his normal route home. He can't leave work and think "shit i gotta go to the store" or "I feel like going to get some ice cream" because he will likely have to call his PO and get permission. Same rule goes for if for some reason he had to take a different route home, he'd probably have to explain himself to somebody. On his days off, he probably can't go out and do much. I've never been on house arrest but I'm sure they aren't just gonna let you go out and do whatever it is you desire to do. You also usually have a curfew also and if you aren't home by curfew, that's your ass. And the fact you can never let your monitor die is another thing. If the monitor dies, you'll have the cops showing up at your door. If the battery goes low you'll usually get a warning from the PO or whoever is in charge of the monitor and if you keep letting the battery go low, that could likely land you back in jail because they can't trust you to keep the monitor active
There is a stark difference between not being able to go outside and not wanting to go outside. I am homebound due to illness but I know that I am legally allowed to go outside
This is what turning your life around looks like, I'm 7-months into recovery and not even close to your determination and openness, sub from Egypt, keep it real bro
I'm sorry you had to go through this rough experience. I hope it catapults you into a beautiful life...free from addiction and unburdoned by the criminal justice system.
I’m glad you’re trying to turn your life around, whatever you’ve done, you’re trying to be better. Make a better life. And seeing how your parole officer asking you why you don’t drive a car, is so deep. It’s wholesome, because he wants you to feel like any other person who is free. I’m glad you’re trying hard to be better.
I can't believe this!! This man is on house arrest and yet he's way more productive than I am 😭. To be fair I'm trying to be productive, I'm just dealing with personal issues that I want to resolve ASAP. But this guy is incredible, to follow the same routine every day..just wow
Oddly I do not find this depressing at all. Sometimes, in order to reset and move ahead into something new we have to just slot into the healthy schedule. I too, eat a lot of the same things every single day that I love 100% until I don't. Then I find something new. I have to get dressed and go out for a morning run, like you said, without hesitation. The good habits I don't let the argument start in my head I just do it. period. No room for the committee to tell me I should give myself a break, then those breaks get longer and then the good habit dissolves. You are setting your self up nicely to have great healthy habits for when the next stage of freedom, discovery and more learnings will bring you. Thanks for sharing.
YES YES YES!! ❤❤ Exactly what you said. I’m actually very happy doing this routine. It’s when I get off of it, start eating bad, laying around watching movies and playing video games…that’s when I get depressed and life comes bearing down on me. But when I am staying on this routine my brain can’t help but feel engaged and optimistic, regardless of the circumstance I’m in. Great comment mysticsuzi! ❤❤ Thank you for that
@@SmilesforMiles2024 I've been sorting through an ADHD diagnosis and apparently mild autism that was never picked up on before. I used to self medicate with booze, which is apparently a big issue for a lot of neurodivergent folks. I have a very structured routine, planned rotation of meals, lots of bike riding, etc in my daily life. I took a trip recently and was both amazed and terrified at how quickly my brain went off the rails when I stepped out of the daily routine I've carefully constructed.
Damn, I just wanna give you a hug bro. I don’t know why this video popped up randomly on my feed, but something made me watch the whole thing from beginning to end without skipping through or stopping; and now you just gained a subscriber. This was such a poignant video, the music was spot on, and no fancy editing or effects. The calm yet vulnerable narration throughout. I don’t think I’ve seen many TH-cam channels of a fallen professional’s journey back to society. A lot of this resonated with me, as this could happen to any of us with the current social climate and state of everyone’s mental health. For my industry, the one that gives me the “it could happen to you” feeling is the recently fallen pilot for Alaska Airlines whose substance-induced trance state caused him to almost accidentally end 84 lives. But thank you for this channel, it’s really a humbling reminder that just because we’re preoccupied with life and our careers doesn’t mean that we’re above our demons. They can creep up on us if we’re not attentive, and we must learn to live with them and address them in a healthy manner. These videos are more valuable to your viewers than you think.
I randomly came across thia video but it brings back memories. My boyfriend was on house arrest for a few years. Like you he developed a routine, i remember the nightly 1 hour couch time he did to charge the braclet. The times we had to be home at a certain time. The bracelet buzzing, the company calling etc. i stood by my guy as he dealt with that. Im happy to say hes been off of house arrest for a few years now. When i see people on the ankle braclet i dont judge them, because i know how it feels for their support system, family, friends etc. I wish you nothing but the best in the future. You gained yourself a subscriber. Cant wait to see how well you do!
This was honestly a great video. I found it on my recommendation, and for some reason, I clicked on it. The thumbnail had no flashy stuff (no green background that makes you want to click on it) that would ever make someone watch it, but for some reason, I still wanted to watch the entire video from start to end. It's so peaceful and reminds me of my goal of biking from Alaska to California. Keep the videos up, man. You deserve a hug.
Thank you for posting this. I’m an ICU nurse and that’s probably the only part of your story I can relate to. I’m burned out with nursing and I’m always searching for something else. Last month, I started a mindfulness practice and it has made me feel so much better as a whole. I hope your journey with the ankle monitor comes to an end soon. Watching this has definitely made me realize that freedom is something to be thankful for and that the possibilities in life are endless.
Sorry you are suffering with burn out. For what it is worth, THANK YOU for all that you do for those that can’t do it for themselves. I was Hospitalized twice in 2023, once planned and once not planned. I was so grateful for the wonderful nursing and admin staff. I just couldn’t thank everybody enough. You may never know how much you mean to somebody or how you changed their life. I admire you and your line of work.
Yes, the possibilities of living a good life are endless. Even in my circumstance I have realized that. You will find something else. It’s ok to be burned out. It’s a tough tough job. I love that you started a mindfulness practice 🥰🥰🥰 So many people have trouble really connecting with the practice. It sounds like you have in some way. It has really been at the foundation of my wellness through jail, prison, and through to today. ❤❤
I'm sorry that you're burnt out. 😔 I wish all nurses got a legnthy sabatical every other year. Nurses, mental health aids, caregivers keep life moving for so many and nothing - other than a check worth far less than your value - in return. I'm in different facilities every few days and admire and pray for you. I hope you're able to get your energy back. ❤️🩹
If you are suffering from burn out then why are you not speaking about the genocide you and your industry have participated in and implemented the last four years?
Obviously, in prison you get into fights, eat cardboard, have no source of entertainment or income, have no freedom pretty much. On house arrest you live simply a more restricted life but you can still eat what you want, go on your phone, do social media, anything really,
This is chilling, Brian. Thank you for sharing this routine with us. It increases my understanding of your current life. Your self-disciple is admirable and you clearly demonstrate that happiness and strength come from within.
It did seem a bit depressing when I re-watched it just now 😂. I’m actually super happy though. Life is great if you can get it right with only the bare minimum. That’s what I’m working on ❤ Thank you so much for your support Luke
@@SmilesforMiles2024 Your attitude towards your job surprises me. The job that you are doing is an important one and the people around you seem nice. Maybe you consider the job beneath you but you still have an opportunity to be the best fork lift operator they've ever had (which you probably are). We've all had work situations that aren't ideal but we manage to find some aspects that can be enjoyed. Riding your bike to work seemed to bring a smile to your face. It reminded me of a high school summer job where I had to ride a bike and swim across a river (holding my uniform overhead) in order to get to work, but it was a fun summer. I hope you build in some rewards for yourself for sticking with the discipline.
Being on house arrest is not so bad. You do have to follow the rules of probation. It takes lots of will power and determination. There is also a curfew. Just make sure you charge your ankle monitor every night before going to bed.
Brian, I'm sorry you had to go through what you did. But your recovery is an inspiration and a shining beacon to others who struggle with this disease. I hope you find a career that you can enjoy and help others and use your RN training to support others. Glad that you are now in a happier place.
Hi Brian, your somber sounding voice for this video was so fitting for the content. Glad that you showed having to plug in your Ankle monitory to recharge it's battery. That is a task that is easy to overlook, but so necessary. Can't imagine not having to freedom to deviate from your normal routine on your way home. Freedom is so easy to take for granted until the day that it is lost, especially for your time on House Arrest. Glad that you take the time to exercise and also stimulate your brain by reading and meditating. Hope in the future you can watch the video I sent you on a man explaining how hard it was to start out in ICU straight out of Nursing School. I think you could relate to all of the points he made in describing his experiences. Just think, it is less than 30 days at this point, till the Ankle Monitor comes off. I know you will still be on Parole but at least it is step closer to you being free.
Thank you Ben. I have put that video on my watch list. It’s coming up! I’m excited to see what he has to say. I definitely remember starting in the ICU being very stressful 😅
I can really relate to that feeling of freedom while biking. Thank you for sharing this. I bet you were an excellent nurse; organised, methodical, thoughtful.
@alexkx8599 how about understanding that addiction is an illness, people don't choose addiction. Would you say the same thing about any other illness.
@@jordankelly9206 What addiction? 10 year olds know not to start smoking, drinking, or doing drugs. It must be drugs since you refuse to say what it is. There isn't a problem because he knows not to use and abuse in the first place so YOU don't get to hang any of this around my neck because I speak about what's up and what the deal instead covering for people who should not be.
@@alexkx8599 you clearly don't know how addiction works and why it happens. Please do some research before casting judgement on individuals you know nothing about.
Idk why this would be depressing as some comments say. The comfort of simplicity, routine and stability is all I every wanted a year ago when my mind was drowning in depression and anxiety. Good job, Miles! 👏
@@SmilesforMiles2024 I caught the vibe of what you're going for here, and I dig it. Not remotely in your sitch, but have mad respect for you staying sober. You got this.
You live a healthier life that I do. I’ve got no excuse for not taking advantage of everything! Keep the habits you’ve made, I can see you being a very successful person after this period of your life.
If nothing else, you probably live the healthiest of most people. You regularly exercise and your diet is spot on. So yeah, I'm sure it's not pleasant wearing an ankle monitor but you've picked up some great lifestyle habits.
Watching this taught me quite a bit. I always thought house arrest meant being confined in the house and not being allowed to go anywhere at all, unless community service. But yeah it definitely looks tough. I remember right before the pandemic started I was really sick and didn’t feel like leaving my house. I was down for a couple months and by the time I got better, the shutdown happened. That was a bit rough being isolated but I can only imagine how much harder it would be for someone who has house arrest and not only that, being constantly monitored by someone. I admire your hard work and determination to keep both mind and body in shape. Hope you’re be done with your time soon and can have your freedom soon.❤
As an autistic, introvert with chronic illness, I'm pretty much on house arrest as well most days. The big difference is that I am FREE to leave my home whenever I want to, need to or feel able to, with no one monitoring it or forcing me to be home by a certain time. The thing keeping me at home is my physical condition and my "social battery" for real life stuff. And as much as it sucks being stuck as I am, still think I prefer it over being monitored and forced to by others. I really hope you'll soon be properly free, and able to stay on the right track to not get back to this situation or worse again!
Honestly I always fantasized about house arrest. Not that I would commit a crime. But if I did something stupid, this would force me to change my habits and live my healthiest lifestyle while enjoying solitude
There is nothing wrong with having a strict routine. While it will be nice when you are able to add walking in a park, eating out, or going to a movie, having a basic framework planned for your day will help you to stay sober once you are fully released. It was when I had too much unplanned free time on my hands that I got into trouble.
I served only a year in prison, but it was enough for me to know I much would've rather prefered a home sentence. He can have visitors right? And how does he get groceries? He gets to decide what he wants to eat. He could even get laid if he wanted! Most of all, he's got PRIVACY! I'm sorry, but I'm not buying the somber tone of this vid. He has WAY more freedom than he would have being incarcerated. And his experience is only as morose as he lets it be.
@7n154 I agree with you. I served a hair less than 4 years in state prison. Even though it was minimum security I would still have preferred home confinement. Get to go to work. Feel free more than being in prison. Especially being able to make your self meals. Food was horrible in prison. I love cooking good healthy meals and good food was one of the things I missed most.
I think you’re missing the point of the video. It’s a guy who dealing with his decisions/past…prison is not easy but neither is turning your life around. Empathy is lacking in our society. You sir lack empathy. This video is educational and people can learn from it.
@@yanks7533 I have plenty of empathy. Just for the people who are REALLY experiencing incarceration. Even the guy in the vid admits his experience is not as bad as it's portrayed in this vid. Read his comment replies. Even he admits he's much happier with his situation than depicted. I'm not saying his whole journey is not valid. I'm just saying home detention is WAYYY better than actual incarceration in prison. Home detention is basically being grounded. So excuse me for not breaking out my violin and getting tears in my eyes.
This guy already spent a year in prison. He's well aware that house arrest has more freedom. This is his next step in paying his debt. Who cares if you're "not buying the somber tone?" Like it needs your stamp of approval. He can be denied visitors as a condition of house arrest. If you're on house arrest your visitors have to be cleared and pre-approved. The time has to be approved. The guy is also in recovery if you've watched his other videos. He doesn't need to be having visitors over for sex. He needs to be getting his life back together. Why don't you try informing your opinion before shooting your mouth off?
Dude. Dang. Honoring your routine and mindfulness... Wow! I'm envious, and even though a stranger, I'm incredibly proud of you. I fail miserably at routine, regimen, and caring for myself. Thank you for your prime example.
Brian, I am a RN also. I worked in a county jail. I met my fiance there. He had been in a terrible car accident years ago and became addicted to opioids which culminated in shooting heroin for years, one day falling asleep at the wheel under the influence, and coming to jail. He is currently serving an 18 month prison sentence but was able to remain clean for the 2 1/2 years prior to his sentencing and is still clean 9 months into it. I feel your struggle and know it well. I pray God continues to give you strength, tenacity, and focus. I admire your honesty. There is more of a purpose in this than you know just yet. It will be revealed when you least expect it. Kind of like planting a seed. All the potential and promise in the world is inside the little seed but it must go into the darkness and battle through the dirt before it sees the light. But just look what happens then! Tremendous growth and beauty when in full bloom. You’ll get there. The devil fights you the hardest before your biggest victories but keep the faith. Your growth has been tremendous. Soon you’ll be in full bloom! May Gods bless you every day with His best. Take care. You got this. I have faith in you.
Wow. Your comment really resonates with me. Thank you so much for that. My heart goes out to you and your fiancé. May we all turn our darkest times into our greatest strengths ❤❤🙏🙏
You will endure and come out so much stronger on the other side. I have hired several guys who were on house arrest and I can always tell the guys who will make it, and the ones who won't, because the ones who won't do not show up to work the day after they get their monitor off. Two of my best workers I ever had were house arrest guys, one went on to open his own company and I sub contracted to him for years. The other sadly passed away, but he passed away clean and sober, and with his wife taken care of with insurance money. 10 years earlier, no one would have thought that possible. He died of Covid sadly. God bless young sir, stay with it, you will do it. The anklet will come off at the right time, not when the world is ready for you, but when you are ready to face it the right way.
I’ve never heard of you before, but this video randomly came up next on my youtube playlist early this morning. I can tell you’re a good guy that just got caught up in a really bad circumstance. Your determination to turn your life around is inspiring. Keep up the good work.
I’m rooting for you, man. It takes a lot of courage to get into recovery and rebuild your life, but it’s the best choice. Your humility is inspiring as well. Weirdly, I believe there to be a shocking amount of overlap between your typical day on house arrest and the routines of many working people.
Honestly, your day is so productive! I think only on weekends it must get very boring very fast without work and without being able to go outside. Anyways, all the best bro.
I'm sure he can go sit in his backyard, if he has one. Pretty sure he can have a garden, as most of the supplies are available online. He has a bit more freedom than actual jail. If he has a backyard pool, he can use it, he's not confined to inside the house 24/7, he just can't leave the property other than go to work.
@@SouthernR0cker4Life yeah but by outside I mean to restaurants, bars, parks, the movies and stuff. But I guess he can have friends over and order in. Overall doesn’t seem bad at all tbh.
No sympathy, because this kind of punishment is much more preferable than actual incarceration. It's also a win-win situation because it saves both the offender and taxpayers money, not to mention keeping the offender in touch with the "outside world."
Well, I can understand the other arguments, but the fact that incarceration is worst does not mean this isn’t bad, it just mean it is just better, but is still a shit
Listen - be glad it's been 2 years on the ankle and not 2 years in a facility. I had to do 3 nearly to the door so while I can understand it could be tough I wish I had had that opportunity instead of what I went through. It can always be worse.
Hello Smiles, I've just found your channel in my algorithm, as a person who is very interested in quote on quote *Criminal Offenses*, of course, I have no idea why you've had house arrest for more than two years now. But this story is both depressing and heartwarming. Depressing, because I know you will have a 'criminal record' for the next 20 years or so. It's heartwarming because you've found yourself ways of not overthinking about the ankle monitor and those other things. Keep up the good work, and keep up your positivity, as that's one good way of going forwards. I am still very curious on *why* you're on house arrest, of course if it is a topic you'd not like to touch on, I totally understand.
“Endurance” about Ernest Shackleton! I read that book multiple times and it has touched me in awesome ways! I love this, and your other videos also. Somewhat reminds me of my own experience in substance abuse. After 44 years of being an RN with stellar performance reviews I was confronted one day as I entered work by HR and the Department CEO. As the nurse manager I thought they were there for a different reason. It was clear….resign, or be terminated….my choice. At the age of 63 I was eligible for SS, and resigned…I was blindsided, but they were correct, not me. Five years later I still wear the scarlet letter from some family members, and probably always will. Again…keep posting….it helps people see the humanity in broken people. 🤗❤️
I just finished Endurance. It was SOOOO good!! Thank you for sharing that about yourself. It helps me know that I am not alone in this. Your support means the world to me❤❤
This video just popped up. I have no idea who Miles is it why he is under house arrest. But, whatever his backstory, I think there's a lot of lessons for everyone in this video (certainly for me). How to stay resilient in the face of adversity is one thing. And although Miles might have quite reduced liberty, hats off to him for making efforts to better himself, keep fit and lead what looks like a pretty virtuous life. Quite inspirational stuff. Id love to know the thoughts running through his head during his mindfulness sessions.
Miles was an RN and as I’m sure you know anything in the medical field is extremely stressful, so he turned to drugs to cope - drugs which he was able to access *because* he was an RN.
You get I think it’s 4 passes a week to go to the store at least here in Indiana I got 2 years and just got put on house arrest and still getting used to things
It all depends on the terms of your probation / house arrest. When I was on house arrest I could go places that I had to write in a weekly schedule and then it would either get approved or denied depending on what it is
It’s great to see you taking it positively, and I hope the house arrest will be over soon. Personally I wouldn’t manage not being able to be in nature/outside. Stay strong
I think it’s a nice documentation of this phase of your life, in preparation for the next. Best of luck! I liked your approach to eating the same meal every day. I also have the same breakfast everyday! I don’t have to waste time thinking of what I’ll eat. Sometimes routines provide _comforting_ stability.
Do you have visitors? Friends? Are you intimate with anyone? Are you allowed to be? I’m not sure why this came into feed tonight, but I’m grateful. I wish you all the best in life. You accomplish more in one day than many people. You seem like a good soul. Peace to you.
Best entry yet. And not just the informative nature, but the camera setups and music choices and all that. Really cinematic. Which some might say isn't the point of a vlog, but I'd argue that it shows just how much routine and consistency have paid off. You had no idea what you were doing when you started this, and now you have a following, your production gets better...it's cool to see. While you were getting better mentally, you also got better physically and creatively. Routines are the best, depending on the thing. My routine was to go out every single night and drink with friends. Now I fill that space with walks with my dog, writing songs, watching a movie, whatever. It's cool to see the journey my dude
Wow, very inspirational to watch. I've been pretty depressed lately but watching someone, who puts one foot in front of the other in the face of life obstacles is moving. Subscribed!!🔥👌🏽
Well you might call it mundane, but in reality in brings routine, a level of simplicity through a type of autonomy within the confines of the ankle monitor. That in itself brings structure to your life which are the foundational building blocks to moving forwards into the future.
Honestly I don’t understand all the comments of people feeling bad. He’s not in prison and he’s living a pretty healthy life. House arrest is a punishment but it’s also a privilege, he’s lucky it’s just house arrest.
Ur cute af, and more importantly, very self aware. I think ur on the right path again. Hopefully when ur free from ur house arrest u can find a promising new career if RN is over with. All the best. 😊
Liked the video. Don’t let the other comments get to you! You are a great storyteller and whatever reason you are there is not who you are. Stay motivated, keep your head up. Also, remember Jesus is ready to forgive anyone who comes to him in humility.
Man I am so sorry. House arrest for two years is unbelievable. I hope it ends soon brother cause this makes me sad to watch. You barely get to experience life. I just found this video and I don’t know how you got here but I’ll be praying for you bro. At the beginning you mentioned not having a car. I would recommend getting a project car. It will give you something to learn and do. Something to look forward to when you get home. I’ll be praying for you bro.
I love this video, the production, the music, and the video itself. Obviously, you're showing simplicity and maybe monotony, but I hope you are interacting with people!!! Online NA meetings are a must, Dude!!!!! Talking to a sponsor is a must. Having fun and laughing (watching comedy shows, etc.) is essential. By the way, I never knew you had to charge the ankle monitors-it makes complete sense.
That honestly looks wonderful. As the widowed mom of a big family, the thought of coming home to complete quiet, being ordered to be alone in my room and just to what I want or to relax in peace sounds beautiful. Perspective is everything! Take your me time, practice how to love and respect yourself and before you know it, it will be time for your next chapter.
It actually is pretty wonderful 😊I’m really happy with what I have right now (even if the music made it seem depressing 😂). Thank you for your comment ❤❤
I really like your idea of working out as soon as you get home. That is exactly what i need to do and have yet to think of. I spend too much time thinking then not doing.
In a world that often feels chaotic, the story of someone on house arrest for two years reveals a profound transformation. This calm and settled individual reflects on their journey, embracing the stillness to delve into self-discovery and growth. With every word, they share the ultimate lesson of resilience and hope, showing that even in confinement, one can find peace and purpose. Their journey inspires us to look within, reminding us that change is possible, no matter the circumstances.
@@ThatOneSigma69 That isn't true I'm on federal probation for blowing up a cop car and I'm on house arrest until February. I also did 10 years in federal prison I got out August 15th and ive been on the ankle monitor ever since.
When on house arrest, are you not even allowed to go to your own backyard? I guess overall, it may suck, but my mind kept thinking, at least he isn't behind bars, and having to deal with inmates doing whatever they want to do with you,. You get exercise, eat well, and seem to have a good mind set, I just hope you keep it that way.
I fell your pain I was on the ankle monitor for almost a year I would go to work in the mornings and come back home in the afternoon same routine every day but helped me discipline my self and stay on the right track now its been two years and I'm doing good finally off of the ankle monitor I salute you brother.
2:21 Please invest in a helmet❤ When we ride in a car we wear a seatbelt and to ride one’s bike among traffic without any safety gear is a high risk. The brain is precious and need to be protected.
Everyone is one decision away from committing a crime. I think it's rude to ask that, he doesn't seem proud of the choice he made or he would have volunteered the info. Just my opinion.
I don’t know why you got out there but imma watch some of your videos to understand, you really set an example for us in your daily routine you maybe on house arrest but that doesn’t stop you from being a human and good guy, you exercise daily and have mindfulness meditations , I respect you for that and hope you get out soon
Hey Brian, watching this video was like participating in a mindfulness meditation in itself 🤔 I'm coming up 34 years in nursing and it's not too unsimilar to my routine as a 1500-2300 RN. I tend to keep the same routine on my days off. Less tiring as I age. I discovered talking books recently though I usually fall asleep listening to them at night 😅
Well least you get to leave the house lol. Ive been on house arrest for 1 year and 4 months and im not even allowed to leave my house. Luckily I’ve be able to work out everyday and become a pretty good cook/baker. It definitely gets depressing at times but planning everything that I will do when I’m off home confinement really helps. I only have 3 more months so I’m so close. Can’t wait to live again and not take any day for granted.
@@TheSlowProgramer I don’t wanna sound like a hater, but the music and vibe of the video is way too calm for the fact that something happened for him to be in that situation
I used to live quite similarly, for about 4 years, with less restrictions of course because i wasnt on house arrest. Having this type of routine is really about sacrificing knowledge of the world for the knowledge that is within you, which is very good to have in my opinion, but it cant be done for very long because at a certain point the amount you can learn from yourself keeps dropping down. I would say in year 3 of this lifestyle i really felt the impact of having such a strict routine and not allowing myself new experiences, so for the last year i got out there and it was incredibly good for me, and what i learned in those 4 years has been incredibly beneficial still. I would not want to get those years back if i could even if most people consider it boring
It just occurred to me that there is practically no difference between your day and the days of most people.
This is EXACTLY what I was thinking!! So many of us live like we are on house arrest! We gotta get out there and get more involved with our lives 🙌❤️❤️
@@SmilesforMiles2024This really got me because from work I just go back home and vice versa. Always too tired to hang out or go out..
Okay so it doesn't look like you have it so bad.
It's a goddamn same routine that most of us go through I hate this whiny b*******.
@@SmilesforMiles2024 yeah... you are so right there. It wouldnt really affect my like that much sadly :/

He can't leave work and think "shit i gotta go to the store" or "I feel like going to get some ice cream" because he will likely have to call his PO and get permission. Same rule goes for if for some reason he had to take a different route home, he'd probably have to explain himself to somebody. On his days off, he probably can't go out and do much. I've never been on house arrest but I'm sure they aren't just gonna let you go out and do whatever it is you desire to do. You also usually have a curfew also and if you aren't home by curfew, that's your ass. And the fact you can never let your monitor die is another thing. If the monitor dies, you'll have the cops showing up at your door. If the battery goes low you'll usually get a warning from the PO or whoever is in charge of the monitor and if you keep letting the battery go low, that could likely land you back in jail because they can't trust you to keep the monitor active
As someone who is an introvert and social anxiety, this life is normal for me. 😭
I should be for everyone they’re acting as if you’re stuck in a house for months. It’s just a damn day.
It's ok. Things can change. Take a small risk and see what happens.
Same but I don't do all that meditating stuff or whatever
There is a stark difference between not being able to go outside and not wanting to go outside. I am homebound due to illness but I know that I am legally allowed to go outside

This is what turning your life around looks like, I'm 7-months into recovery and not even close to your determination and openness, sub from Egypt, keep it real bro
Egypt!! Oh hell yeah. That is so cool. I’m so happy for your 7 months. You are killing it! Keep it up. Thank you so much for watching subbing ❤
@@SmilesforMiles2024 keep doing what you're doing Brian, you never know who's watching n rooting for you ❤
I'm sorry you had to go through this rough experience. I hope it catapults you into a beautiful life...free from addiction and unburdoned by the criminal justice system.
Im proud of you! Recovery isn't easy but you are doing it!
I’m glad you’re trying to turn your life around, whatever you’ve done, you’re trying to be better. Make a better life. And seeing how your parole officer asking you why you don’t drive a car, is so deep. It’s wholesome, because he wants you to feel like any other person who is free. I’m glad you’re trying hard to be better.
Being in the system is all a money scam pretty much. They just want money from you not to help you
I realy hope so
I didn't know you could go to work while on house arrest. you learn something new every day.
Seems nice
I mean in a way it makes sense, how else are you gonna pay those bills and rent
@@Metro248 online work
People have to make money. Otherwise they go back to what got them put into jail.
@@Metro248 as far as I was aware, you have to live with basically a guardian here. Figured the burden was just placed on them.
I can't believe this!! This man is on house arrest and yet he's way more productive than I am 😭. To be fair I'm trying to be productive, I'm just dealing with personal issues that I want to resolve ASAP. But this guy is incredible, to follow the same routine every day..just wow
how does someone get two years house arrest
When you don't have a choice, it's easy to change, in fact it isn't change, it's adaptation.
@@sarahanna68 no idea...
You never stopped to consider that he’s productive because of the fact that he’s on house arrest.
Because productivity is the real prison. We are not designed by nature to be "productive"
Oddly I do not find this depressing at all. Sometimes, in order to reset and move ahead into something new we have to just slot into the healthy schedule. I too, eat a lot of the same things every single day that I love 100% until I don't. Then I find something new. I have to get dressed and go out for a morning run, like you said, without hesitation. The good habits I don't let the argument start in my head I just do it. period. No room for the committee to tell me I should give myself a break, then those breaks get longer and then the good habit dissolves. You are setting your self up nicely to have great healthy habits for when the next stage of freedom, discovery and more learnings will bring you. Thanks for sharing.
YES YES YES!! ❤❤ Exactly what you said. I’m actually very happy doing this routine. It’s when I get off of it, start eating bad, laying around watching movies and playing video games…that’s when I get depressed and life comes bearing down on me. But when I am staying on this routine my brain can’t help but feel engaged and optimistic, regardless of the circumstance I’m in. Great comment mysticsuzi! ❤❤ Thank you for that
@@SmilesforMiles2024 I've been sorting through an ADHD diagnosis and apparently mild autism that was never picked up on before. I used to self medicate with booze, which is apparently a big issue for a lot of neurodivergent folks. I have a very structured routine, planned rotation of meals, lots of bike riding, etc in my daily life. I took a trip recently and was both amazed and terrified at how quickly my brain went off the rails when I stepped out of the daily routine I've carefully constructed.
@@SmilesforMiles2024 Yeah brother, it sucks but at least you're still here. I would definitely want house arrest and drop the soap all i want!
Agreed. This seems like a well established routine. Definitely far better than my lack of one.
Damn, I just wanna give you a hug bro. I don’t know why this video popped up randomly on my feed, but something made me watch the whole thing from beginning to end without skipping through or stopping; and now you just gained a subscriber. This was such a poignant video, the music was spot on, and no fancy editing or effects. The calm yet vulnerable narration throughout. I don’t think I’ve seen many TH-cam channels of a fallen professional’s journey back to society. A lot of this resonated with me, as this could happen to any of us with the current social climate and state of everyone’s mental health. For my industry, the one that gives me the “it could happen to you” feeling is the recently fallen pilot for Alaska Airlines whose substance-induced trance state caused him to almost accidentally end 84 lives. But thank you for this channel, it’s really a humbling reminder that just because we’re preoccupied with life and our careers doesn’t mean that we’re above our demons. They can creep up on us if we’re not attentive, and we must learn to live with them and address them in a healthy manner. These videos are more valuable to your viewers than you think.
same- it just popped up and watched it end to end.. fully agree with what you say.
@@FlyBoyMT come snuggle bro...
Same, mine just randomly popped up, but I watched the whole thing
@@benwyvis759 SAME
like this comment up because this comment and the video really touched my heart.
I randomly came across thia video but it brings back memories.
My boyfriend was on house arrest for a few years. Like you he developed a routine, i remember the nightly 1 hour couch time he did to charge the braclet. The times we had to be home at a certain time. The bracelet buzzing, the company calling etc. i stood by my guy as he dealt with that. Im happy to say hes been off of house arrest for a few years now.
When i see people on the ankle braclet i dont judge them, because i know how it feels for their support system, family, friends etc.
I wish you nothing but the best in the future. You gained yourself a subscriber. Cant wait to see how well you do!
This was honestly a great video. I found it on my recommendation, and for some reason, I clicked on it. The thumbnail had no flashy stuff (no green background that makes you want to click on it) that would ever make someone watch it, but for some reason, I still wanted to watch the entire video from start to end. It's so peaceful and reminds me of my goal of biking from Alaska to California. Keep the videos up, man. You deserve a hug.
Thank you for posting this. I’m an ICU nurse and that’s probably the only part of your story I can relate to. I’m burned out with nursing and I’m always searching for something else. Last month, I started a mindfulness practice and it has made me feel so much better as a whole. I hope your journey with the ankle monitor comes to an end soon. Watching this has definitely made me realize that freedom is something to be thankful for and that the possibilities in life are endless.
Sorry you are suffering with burn out. For what it is worth, THANK YOU for all that you do for those that can’t do it for themselves. I was Hospitalized twice in 2023, once planned and once not planned. I was so grateful for the wonderful nursing and admin staff. I just couldn’t thank everybody enough. You may never know how much you mean to somebody or how you changed their life. I admire you and your line of work.
Yes, the possibilities of living a good life are endless. Even in my circumstance I have realized that. You will find something else. It’s ok to be burned out. It’s a tough tough job. I love that you started a mindfulness practice 🥰🥰🥰 So many people have trouble really connecting with the practice. It sounds like you have in some way. It has really been at the foundation of my wellness through jail, prison, and through to today. ❤❤
I'm sorry that you're burnt out. 😔 I wish all nurses got a legnthy sabatical every other year. Nurses, mental health aids, caregivers keep life moving for so many and nothing - other than a check worth far less than your value - in return. I'm in different facilities every few days and admire and pray for you. I hope you're able to get your energy back. ❤️🩹
If you are suffering from burn out then why are you not speaking about the genocide you and your industry have participated in and implemented the last four years?
@@alexkx8599What an awful post. Zero context for your accusation.
It's better than prison or jail
If a judge gave me a choice between prison and house arrest, I'd pick house arrest
noo
@@kristinavlogsss yes house arrest get to watch tv unlike jail you got people there want to try and and fight you for no reason
Obviously, in prison you get into fights, eat cardboard, have no source of entertainment or income, have no freedom pretty much. On house arrest you live simply a more restricted life but you can still eat what you want, go on your phone, do social media, anything really,
House arrest = tv ,better bed ,stuff to to ur self, and more
This is chilling, Brian. Thank you for sharing this routine with us. It increases my understanding of your current life. Your self-disciple is admirable and you clearly demonstrate that happiness and strength come from within.
It did seem a bit depressing when I re-watched it just now 😂. I’m actually super happy though. Life is great if you can get it right with only the bare minimum. That’s what I’m working on ❤ Thank you so much for your support Luke
@@SmilesforMiles2024 Your attitude towards your job surprises me. The job that you are doing is an important one and the people around you seem nice. Maybe you consider the job beneath you but you still have an opportunity to be the best fork lift operator they've ever had (which you probably are). We've all had work situations that aren't ideal but we manage to find some aspects that can be enjoyed. Riding your bike to work seemed to bring a smile to your face. It reminded me of a high school summer job where I had to ride a bike and swim across a river (holding my uniform overhead) in order to get to work, but it was a fun summer. I hope you build in some rewards for yourself for sticking with the discipline.
Being on house arrest is not so bad. You do have to follow the rules of probation. It takes lots of will power and determination. There is also a curfew. Just make sure you charge your ankle monitor every night before going to bed.
@@SmilesforMiles2024 may I ask what you did if it is not too personal?
You honestly inspired me to work harder in my life and not take even the little things for granted. Appreciate it much 👍💯
Still living better than most of us. Your productivity is remarkable.
Brian, I'm sorry you had to go through what you did. But your recovery is an inspiration and a shining beacon to others who struggle with this disease. I hope you find a career that you can enjoy and help others and use your RN training to support others. Glad that you are now in a happier place.
Hi Brian, your somber sounding voice for this video was so fitting for the content. Glad that you showed having to plug in your Ankle monitory to recharge it's battery. That is a task that is easy to overlook, but so necessary.
Can't imagine not having to freedom to deviate from your normal routine on your way home. Freedom is so easy to take for granted until the day that it is lost, especially for your time on House Arrest. Glad that you take the time to exercise and also stimulate your brain by reading and meditating.
Hope in the future you can watch the video I sent you on a man explaining how hard it was to start out in ICU straight out of Nursing School. I think you could relate to all of the points he made in describing his experiences.
Just think, it is less than 30 days at this point, till the Ankle Monitor comes off. I know you will still be on Parole but at least it is step closer to you being free.
Thank you Ben. I have put that video on my watch list. It’s coming up! I’m excited to see what he has to say. I definitely remember starting in the ICU being very stressful 😅
I can really relate to that feeling of freedom while biking. Thank you for sharing this. I bet you were an excellent nurse; organised, methodical, thoughtful.

God bless you hope you set free I can see in your face
This might be the most depressing Smiles for Miles clip yet. But still good for us to see.

@@SmilesforMiles2024 I caught the vibe of what you're going for here, and I dig it. Not remotely in your sitch, but have mad respect for you staying sober. You got this.
Looks like bliss to me. Some of us live like that by deliberate choice. Heck, in this day and age, many of us do.
Still gotta check that check huh? Like honestly how low of a society have we gone to be glorifying this?
@@SmilesforMiles2024great video. I recognized the Reno/Sparks area right away.
I'm sure forcing yourself to stick to this routine was as difficult as it was healing and helpful. You have my respect for that!
You live a healthier life that I do. I’ve got no excuse for not taking advantage of everything!
Keep the habits you’ve made, I can see you being a very successful person after this period of your life.
If nothing else, you probably live the healthiest of most people. You regularly exercise and your diet is spot on. So yeah, I'm sure it's not pleasant wearing an ankle monitor but you've picked up some great lifestyle habits.
You have evidently acquired excellent self discipline and self awareness and I think inner peace. You're going to be OK.
Watching this taught me quite a bit. I always thought house arrest meant being confined in the house and not being allowed to go anywhere at all, unless community service. But yeah it definitely looks tough. I remember right before the pandemic started I was really sick and didn’t feel like leaving my house. I was down for a couple months and by the time I got better, the shutdown happened. That was a bit rough being isolated but I can only imagine how much harder it would be for someone who has house arrest and not only that, being constantly monitored by someone. I admire your hard work and determination to keep both mind and body in shape. Hope you’re be done with your time soon and can have your freedom soon.❤
As an autistic, introvert with chronic illness, I'm pretty much on house arrest as well most days. The big difference is that I am FREE to leave my home whenever I want to, need to or feel able to, with no one monitoring it or forcing me to be home by a certain time. The thing keeping me at home is my physical condition and my "social battery" for real life stuff. And as much as it sucks being stuck as I am, still think I prefer it over being monitored and forced to by others.
I really hope you'll soon be properly free, and able to stay on the right track to not get back to this situation or worse again!
Not even comparable.
Honestly I always fantasized about house arrest. Not that I would commit a crime. But if I did something stupid, this would force me to change my habits and live my healthiest lifestyle while enjoying solitude
There is nothing wrong with having a strict routine. While it will be nice when you are able to add walking in a park, eating out, or going to a movie, having a basic framework planned for your day will help you to stay sober once you are fully released. It was when I had too much unplanned free time on my hands that I got into trouble.
The only part of your life that looks sad to me is that eat you the same thing every day, otherwise it looks pretty normal and healthy.
It’s actually a really good thing for people like me who hate planning meals. I also wear the same shirt every day (I have 10 of them)
@@triforcelink i have the same shirt. i bought 15 when they were on sale! lmao
He obviously doesn't eat the same thing..
I served only a year in prison, but it was enough for me to know I much would've rather prefered a home sentence. He can have visitors right? And how does he get groceries? He gets to decide what he wants to eat. He could even get laid if he wanted! Most of all, he's got PRIVACY! I'm sorry, but I'm not buying the somber tone of this vid. He has WAY more freedom than he would have being incarcerated. And his experience is only as morose as he lets it be.
@7n154 I agree with you. I served a hair less than 4 years in state prison. Even though it was minimum security I would still have preferred home confinement. Get to go to work. Feel free more than being in prison. Especially being able to make your self meals. Food was horrible in prison. I love cooking good healthy meals and good food was one of the things I missed most.
I think you’re missing the point of the video. It’s a guy who dealing with his decisions/past…prison is not easy but neither is turning your life around. Empathy is lacking in our society. You sir lack empathy.
This video is educational and people can learn from it.
@@yanks7533 I have plenty of empathy. Just for the people who are REALLY experiencing incarceration. Even the guy in the vid admits his experience is not as bad as it's portrayed in this vid. Read his comment replies. Even he admits he's much happier with his situation than depicted. I'm not saying his whole journey is not valid. I'm just saying home detention is WAYYY better than actual incarceration in prison. Home detention is basically being grounded. So excuse me for not breaking out my violin and getting tears in my eyes.
You are bang on the money, 100% correct in my opinion.
Love from Tamworth Australia 🇦🇺
This guy already spent a year in prison. He's well aware that house arrest has more freedom. This is his next step in paying his debt. Who cares if you're "not buying the somber tone?" Like it needs your stamp of approval. He can be denied visitors as a condition of house arrest. If you're on house arrest your visitors have to be cleared and pre-approved. The time has to be approved. The guy is also in recovery if you've watched his other videos. He doesn't need to be having visitors over for sex. He needs to be getting his life back together. Why don't you try informing your opinion before shooting your mouth off?
As an introvert, this is like a normal day for me lol. But it is nice being able to have some wine or drinks occasionally.
This is one of the best motivational videos I've ever seen
Dude. Dang. Honoring your routine and mindfulness... Wow! I'm envious, and even though a stranger, I'm incredibly proud of you. I fail miserably at routine, regimen, and caring for myself. Thank you for your prime example.
Brian, I am a RN also. I worked in a county jail. I met my fiance there. He had been in a terrible car accident years ago and became addicted to opioids which culminated in shooting heroin for years, one day falling asleep at the wheel under the influence, and coming to jail. He is currently serving an 18 month prison sentence but was able to remain clean for the 2 1/2 years prior to his sentencing and is still clean 9 months into it. I feel your struggle and know it well. I pray God continues to give you strength, tenacity, and focus. I admire your honesty. There is more of a purpose in this than you know just yet. It will be revealed when you least expect it. Kind of like planting a seed. All the potential and promise in the world is inside the little seed but it must go into the darkness and battle through the dirt before it sees the light. But just look what happens then! Tremendous growth and beauty when in full bloom. You’ll get there. The devil fights you the hardest before your biggest victories but keep the faith. Your growth has been tremendous. Soon you’ll be in full bloom! May Gods bless you every day with His best. Take care. You got this. I have faith in you.
Wow. Your comment really resonates with me. Thank you so much for that. My heart goes out to you and your fiancé. May we all turn our darkest times into our greatest strengths ❤❤🙏🙏
I'm crying! 😭
I lead almost the same life as you, except that I don't have to wear an ankle bracelet and your standard of living is higher than mine.😂
You will endure and come out so much stronger on the other side. I have hired several guys who were on house arrest and I can always tell the guys who will make it, and the ones who won't, because the ones who won't do not show up to work the day after they get their monitor off. Two of my best workers I ever had were house arrest guys, one went on to open his own company and I sub contracted to him for years. The other sadly passed away, but he passed away clean and sober, and with his wife taken care of with insurance money. 10 years earlier, no one would have thought that possible. He died of Covid sadly. God bless young sir, stay with it, you will do it. The anklet will come off at the right time, not when the world is ready for you, but when you are ready to face it the right way.
Why are you on house arrest? This bit of context is important.
For 2 years as well.
cus he was a nurse and was stealing drugs and using them. sucks to suck huh
Because he is a criminal and still can't be honest.
@@alexkx8599 he already made multiple videos being honest and explaining that he became a drug addict who stole from the hospital he worked at.

I'm thankful you are not in prison or jail. I'm thankful you are honest, and brave enough to share this. To happy times ahead, best of luck.
Bruh…..this is amazing. You’ve reached the next level of filming
I’m rooting for you, man. It takes a lot of courage to get into recovery and rebuild your life, but it’s the best choice. Your humility is inspiring as well. Weirdly, I believe there to be a shocking amount of overlap between your typical day on house arrest and the routines of many working people.
Honestly, your day is so productive! I think only on weekends it must get very boring very fast without work and without being able to go outside. Anyways, all the best bro.
I'm sure he can go sit in his backyard, if he has one. Pretty sure he can have a garden,
as most of the supplies are available online. He has a bit more freedom than actual jail.
If he has a backyard pool, he can use it, he's not confined to inside the house 24/7,
he just can't leave the property other than go to work.
@@SouthernR0cker4Life yeah but by outside I mean to restaurants, bars, parks, the movies and stuff. But I guess he can have friends over and order in. Overall doesn’t seem bad at all tbh.
No sympathy, because this kind of punishment is much more preferable than actual incarceration. It's also a win-win situation because it saves both the offender and taxpayers money, not to mention keeping the offender in touch with the "outside world."
👍
True.
Well, I can understand the other arguments, but the fact that incarceration is worst does not mean this isn’t bad, it just mean it is just better, but is still a shit
Exactly what a whiner
I love the honor, tranquility, and regularity of my life in sobriety. Thank you for sharing your day with us.
I love it also ❤❤ I feel more free than I have ever felt, even on house arrest. Thank you for that ❤
Listen - be glad it's been 2 years on the ankle and not 2 years in a facility. I had to do 3 nearly to the door so while I can understand it could be tough I wish I had had that opportunity instead of what I went through. It can always be worse.
Pretty wild, I've found the easiest way to stay off house arrest is to literally just not be a criminal.
Best of luck to you.
Facts. This mf looking for pity. Just stay yo dumb ass outta trouble
Hello Smiles, I've just found your channel in my algorithm, as a person who is very interested in quote on quote *Criminal Offenses*, of course, I have no idea why you've had house arrest for more than two years now. But this story is both depressing and heartwarming. Depressing, because I know you will have a 'criminal record' for the next 20 years or so. It's heartwarming because you've found yourself ways of not overthinking about the ankle monitor and those other things.
Keep up the good work, and keep up your positivity, as that's one good way of going forwards.
I am still very curious on *why* you're on house arrest, of course if it is a topic you'd not like to touch on, I totally understand.
“Endurance” about Ernest Shackleton! I read that book multiple times and it has touched me in awesome ways!
I love this, and your other videos also. Somewhat reminds me of my own experience in substance abuse. After 44 years of being an RN with stellar performance reviews I was confronted one day as I entered work by HR and the Department CEO. As the nurse manager I thought they were there for a different reason. It was clear….resign, or be terminated….my choice. At the age of 63 I was eligible for SS, and resigned…I was blindsided, but they were correct, not me. Five years later I still wear the scarlet letter from some family members, and probably always will.
Again…keep posting….it helps people see the humanity in broken people. 🤗❤️
I just finished Endurance. It was SOOOO good!!
Thank you for sharing that about yourself. It helps me know that I am not alone in this. Your support means the world to me❤❤

This video just popped up. I have no idea who Miles is it why he is under house arrest. But, whatever his backstory, I think there's a lot of lessons for everyone in this video (certainly for me). How to stay resilient in the face of adversity is one thing. And although Miles might have quite reduced liberty, hats off to him for making efforts to better himself, keep fit and lead what looks like a pretty virtuous life. Quite inspirational stuff. Id love to know the thoughts running through his head during his mindfulness sessions.
Miles was an RN and as I’m sure you know anything in the medical field is extremely stressful, so he turned to drugs to cope - drugs which he was able to access *because* he was an RN.
Do you have groceries delivered? Are you allowed to get certain trips out approved by a parole officer?
That’s a good question
You get I think it’s 4 passes a week to go to the store at least here in Indiana I got 2 years and just got put on house arrest and still getting used to things
It all depends on the terms of your probation / house arrest. When I was on house arrest I could go places that I had to write in a weekly schedule and then it would either get approved or denied depending on what it is
@@4600h4ydenif you don’t mind me asking, what did you do ?
@@4600h4yden interesting reading these comments
It’s great to see you taking it positively, and I hope the house arrest will be over soon. Personally I wouldn’t manage not being able to be in nature/outside. Stay strong
Why is my life like this 😅

This guy makes wearing an ankle bracelet seem so soothing.
I think it’s a nice documentation of this phase of your life, in preparation for the next. Best of luck! I liked your approach to eating the same meal every day. I also have the same breakfast everyday! I don’t have to waste time thinking of what I’ll eat. Sometimes routines provide _comforting_ stability.

I saw this video a week ago and I've used to really improve my habits at home. Thanks for being an inspiration.
Do you have visitors? Friends? Are you intimate with anyone? Are you allowed to be? I’m not sure why this came into feed tonight, but I’m grateful. I wish you all the best in life. You accomplish more in one day than many people. You seem like a good soul. Peace to you.
Best entry yet. And not just the informative nature, but the camera setups and music choices and all that. Really cinematic. Which some might say isn't the point of a vlog, but I'd argue that it shows just how much routine and consistency have paid off. You had no idea what you were doing when you started this, and now you have a following, your production gets better...it's cool to see. While you were getting better mentally, you also got better physically and creatively.
Routines are the best, depending on the thing. My routine was to go out every single night and drink with friends. Now I fill that space with walks with my dog, writing songs, watching a movie, whatever. It's cool to see the journey my dude
Wow, very inspirational to watch. I've been pretty depressed lately but watching someone, who puts one foot in front of the other in the face of life obstacles is moving. Subscribed!!🔥👌🏽
Well you might call it mundane, but in reality in brings routine, a level of simplicity through a type of autonomy within the confines of the ankle monitor. That in itself brings structure to your life which are the foundational building blocks to moving forwards into the future.
Honestly I don’t understand all the comments of people feeling bad. He’s not in prison and he’s living a pretty healthy life. House arrest is a punishment but it’s also a privilege, he’s lucky it’s just house arrest.
I’m glad your recovering the best you can and I’m sorry you have to go through this
Love your channel bro. You are helping many people with this, hang in there!

Ur cute af, and more importantly, very self aware. I think ur on the right path again. Hopefully when ur free from ur house arrest u can find a promising new career if RN is over with. All the best. 😊
Are you ever allowed to have people come visit you? This seems so lonely 🥺 thank you for posting, love your videos.
Yes
He's also allowed to go into his backyard, if he has one. It's not confinement to just
inside the house 24/7. So a backyard pool/garden are allowed.
Liked the video. Don’t let the other comments get to you! You are a great storyteller and whatever reason you are there is not who you are. Stay motivated, keep your head up. Also, remember Jesus is ready to forgive anyone who comes to him in humility.
Man I am so sorry. House arrest for two years is unbelievable. I hope it ends soon brother cause this makes me sad to watch. You barely get to experience life. I just found this video and I don’t know how you got here but I’ll be praying for you bro. At the beginning you mentioned not having a car. I would recommend getting a project car. It will give you something to learn and do. Something to look forward to when you get home. I’ll be praying for you bro.
I love this video, the production, the music, and the video itself. Obviously, you're showing simplicity and maybe monotony, but I hope you are interacting with people!!! Online NA meetings are a must, Dude!!!!! Talking to a sponsor is a must. Having fun and laughing (watching comedy shows, etc.) is essential. By the way, I never knew you had to charge the ankle monitors-it makes complete sense.
That honestly looks wonderful. As the widowed mom of a big family, the thought of coming home to complete quiet, being ordered to be alone in my room and just to what I want or to relax in peace sounds beautiful. Perspective is everything! Take your me time, practice how to love and respect yourself and before you know it, it will be time for your next chapter.
It actually is pretty wonderful 😊I’m really happy with what I have right now (even if the music made it seem depressing 😂). Thank you for your comment ❤❤
Dude. Whatever your workout is it’s working.
I really like your idea of working out as soon as you get home. That is exactly what i need to do and have yet to think of. I spend too much time thinking then not doing.
In a world that often feels chaotic, the story of someone on house arrest for two years reveals a profound transformation. This calm and settled individual reflects on their journey, embracing the stillness to delve into self-discovery and growth. With every word, they share the ultimate lesson of resilience and hope, showing that even in confinement, one can find peace and purpose. Their journey inspires us to look within, reminding us that change is possible, no matter the circumstances.
Why are you on house arrest?
Gooning without a license
when someone is charged for a nonviolent crime
i think it was drug use
@@ThatOneSigma69 That isn't true I'm on federal probation for blowing up a cop car and I'm on house arrest until February. I also did 10 years in federal prison I got out August 15th and ive been on the ankle monitor ever since.
@@KyleMueller-c1hwhat the hell
That thumbnail…that’s what I’m f#!$ing talkin about. More skin, less talking. I’m glad you’re finally taking my advice.
😂
When on house arrest, are you not even allowed to go to your own backyard? I guess overall, it may suck, but my mind kept thinking, at least he isn't behind bars, and having to deal with inmates doing whatever they want to do with you,.
You get exercise, eat well, and seem to have a good mind set, I just hope you keep it that way.
I wish you the best sir. Remember anything is possible (even turning your life around) with faith, focus and determination. So hang in there!
I fell your pain I was on the ankle monitor for almost a year I would go to work in the mornings and come back home in the afternoon same routine every day but helped me discipline my self and stay on the right track now its been two years and I'm doing good finally off of the ankle monitor I salute you brother.

When we ride in a car we wear a seatbelt and to ride one’s bike among traffic without any safety gear is a high risk. The brain is precious and need to be protected.
wat did u do to be in house arrest
I assume he did dr@gs
Everyone is one decision away from committing a crime. I think it's rude to ask that, he doesn't seem proud of the choice he made or he would have volunteered the info. Just my opinion.
Drugs
DUIs
What did you do?
You´re the FBI. Why are you asking?
@@GrillerRohde just clarifying
Not the FBI asking that question dawg 😂
Why ask questions you already know the answer to?
@F.B.I he was a drug addict and sold them too
You’re so disciplined! 💙 Many Blessings to you! 🤗
I don’t know why you got out there but imma watch some of your videos to understand, you really set an example for us in your daily routine you maybe on house arrest but that doesn’t stop you from being a human and good guy, you exercise daily and have mindfulness meditations , I respect you for that and hope you get out soon
Good work! You're doing great! Time will fly by. Keep going. You got this!
>House arrest
>Goes outside
>curious
I read somewhere that some courts will allow people under house arrest to still go to their jobs
Inspiring. So much discipline. Hang in there!
🙏🙏
Hey Brian, watching this video was like participating in a mindfulness meditation in itself 🤔 I'm coming up 34 years in nursing and it's not too unsimilar to my routine as a 1500-2300 RN. I tend to keep the same routine on my days off. Less tiring as I age. I discovered talking books recently though I usually fall asleep listening to them at night 😅
I believe there’s good in most people and you have come so far proud of you hope the rest of your journey goes well 😊
_Thanks, Brian. I kept thinking: 'How did he get that shot?' LOL. Glad you're doing well._
I'm on house arrest right now I feel your pain
❤❤❤
He's literally just doing what 90% of us do on a daily basis. No sympathy from me.
👍
Prayers for you brother. I've been there and came out the other side. You'll get through this.
Well least you get to leave the house lol. Ive been on house arrest for 1 year and 4 months and im not even allowed to leave my house. Luckily I’ve be able to work out everyday and become a pretty good cook/baker. It definitely gets depressing at times but planning everything that I will do when I’m off home confinement really helps. I only have 3 more months so I’m so close. Can’t wait to live again and not take any day for granted.
1:54 wait your leaving
Thought i was trippin😂 idk i guess they said u can leave if u have work or school
Bro are yall slow when ur oh house arrest u don't have to stay in the house u just can't leave the state and u got a curfew
@@antonioscott4487dang ok we get it but you dont gottq be so mean about it😂
"I turn the shower cold for last 2 minutes"
Don't pet bro go out 😭
You don’t have it on for no reason. Don’t play the victim card.
why are people saying he is playing the victim? please open your eyes and look
@@TheSlowProgramer I don’t wanna sound like a hater, but the music and vibe of the video is way too calm for the fact that something happened for him to be in that situation
I used to live quite similarly, for about 4 years, with less restrictions of course because i wasnt on house arrest. Having this type of routine is really about sacrificing knowledge of the world for the knowledge that is within you, which is very good to have in my opinion, but it cant be done for very long because at a certain point the amount you can learn from yourself keeps dropping down. I would say in year 3 of this lifestyle i really felt the impact of having such a strict routine and not allowing myself new experiences, so for the last year i got out there and it was incredibly good for me, and what i learned in those 4 years has been incredibly beneficial still. I would not want to get those years back if i could even if most people consider it boring
You're a true inspiration!!! You've got this 👏
