Congratulations Brian!!! I found myself nodding in agreement throughout your entire video… and btw your authenticity does shine through. Thank you for your videos.
I absolutely LOVE that. I’m gonna have to adopt this from you. There’s never anything other than just the “one day” except in our imagination. This is the day that counts! Always has been, always will be. You are awesome! Thank you for that. ❤❤🙏🙏
Congratulations. Brian. Here's to several hundred thousand more! I hope you get taken off house arrest soon and that you can start your new, clean happy and fulfilled, fabulous life. You can do it!
Hi Brian, congratulations on accomplishing 1,000 days free of drugs and it's restraints. I liked your thought of this time in your life were things are more controlled for you that you want to prepare yourself to stay strong when you are free. It is almost like you are in are wrapped in a protective Cocoon and it's important for you to prepare yourself to fight off any temptations when that Safe Place in taken away. Like others said, it will be important to take one day at a time and celebrate as days turn in weeks and then months and then years of success. I lost my mom on September 28, 2021 at the age of 91. I didn't know you at the time, but it is crazy to think that 5 days before that you were arrested and lost all of your freedoms at that time. I think this UA-cam Channel and the support you receive in the comments and video feedback will be a great help to encourage you on the right path in your life going forward. Cheers Brian and have a great week.
I’m sorry to hear about you losing your Mom Ben. The timing on that is, indeed, crazy to think about. I really appreciate everything you do for me. It may not seem like much to you, but it means the world to me. I feel lucky that you happened to come across this channel. ❤❤
@@SmilesforMiles2024 Thanks Brian. My mom lived a full life and was pretty healthy into her 80's. I had her in my life for 56 years so I'm thankful for all that she did for me and those whose lives she touched.
Hey man I’m not sure why but your video on icu nurse to prison kept being recommended to me the last few days. Today I decided to watch and man I have to say I’m glad I found this channel. I too threw away my life career and relationships for heroin and drugs. 30s college educated, former athlete etc. addiction doesn’t discriminate. I am coming up on 1 year next week. Not the first time having one year either. I got mrsa last year and had to have open heart surgery as a result from iv narcotics. I’m still getting my life back and still not stable how I would like to be but I relate to your circumstances. I’ve had much easier situations to be sober in. Right now is the hardest ever per se but it’s been the easiest to stay clean (even though it’s not) if that makes sense. Anyways congrats, just know you’re helping people not feel so alone.
congrats !! the days go slow, but the weeks and months and years pass by. you're flying through it and there's only opportunity to come. i resonate a lot with what you're saying. you're creating a foundation right now that throughout your life, you will be able to tackle everything to come. the human condition seems that no matter what, we figure it out. not every day is a learning day, but time stops for no one, and what you're doing with it seems like an up trajectory. not necessarily linear, but I can only see some wonderful things to come
Congratulations! I now challenge you to do it again, one day at a time! I also agree that I being kind of by yourself for a very long time when you don’t really have a choice is really good for us. The hardest part is getting to know yourself and harder- you have to come to liking yourself. That was the hardest for me. In my story I had to be entirely out of options. I had to lose EVERYTHING to give everything I had been fighting up. I had to be humbled in the biggest way (because I am stubborn). For me it wasn’t about finding myself, it was about loss of ego. I find that is also something that I have to practice identifying if my ego is trying to take control again. My ego wants me miserable, my ‘self’ is quiet, but if I tap into it then I can do pretty good. It’s my intuition, which for me is a direct line to my higher power, I have never regretted following my instinct, but I sure have going against it. Anyway, congratulations and I hope that you continuing on this path a day at a time. I have been a little hard on you as I catch up on your videos and forgive me if I came off brash. I was projecting and I am sorry. If you love simplicity then keep it as simple as the only thing that you have to do today is not pick up. That is the only thing that you have to get right. I know you are so excited about the new you and starting fresh, but I warn you to listen to the people who have done this before you. It is not going to be easy as living minimalistic. Your addiction is in you, waiting for a brief second to smack you in the face when you aren’t expecting it. Before you go out into the world you have to have a couple safety plans. Without the support of people who have gone through this I worry. I’m not trying to bring you down at all. Just be careful. :)
Congratulations on your sobriety, Brian, and thank you for the message. Regarding a "simple life", I think that it is easier to face life's challenges with a clear, drug-free mind.
Congratulations, Miles! I have 2 years and 3 months sobriety from Fentanyl! I also was working in the healthcare industry when I first got hook. Ended up being almost 15 years of hell. Now I also try to spread awareness on my channel. 🥰
I so happy your doing so well. The smarter the drug abuser the harder you fall. And your very smart. Wright your self a letter about how much you love your future self. And what you need to be happy. Let the winds of change take there..
I am still making the rounds catching up on the sober channels since I returned from detox. Great topic and video. Congrats on over two and a half years of sobriety.
You should. Kratom almost killed me. I have a massive grand Mal seizure and when I say massive, I mean massive. Look up seizure rates in the country that kratom comes from. High percentage
I have a HUGE crush on you, I want you to succeed and move forward. I love men who are able to speak honestly about their lived experience, what they have learned and how they want to improve. Truly amazing. Thank you for sharing your story and experience.
I am truly curious how women react to these things that I have seen and how that differs from me. There are MANY things that men do that I find so damn sexy.... and, while I respect that you are not looking for intimacy at the moment, I am SO VERY curious how MSM, MSW, WSW and WSM differ in this clinical sense.
3:09 When my brother was placed in coercive rehab, I assumed that it wouldn’t work because he was “forced” to recovery. After reading more about coercive rehab, I learned that it’s not that different from voluntary rehab as people who admit themselves has their own version of being forced (family ultimatums, job requirements, etc). Recovery is probably more about the moment the addict commits to recovery regardless of what started the commitment. Congratulations on reaching 1000 days! It’s a great accomplishment 🙏🏻
This is so true. Sometimes it takes a push in the right direction, even if it is initially against the will of the addicted person. In end I am grateful for everything that has happened to me. I appreciate you so much Hanan ❤
I love your videos because my story is virtually identical to yours. When I first got sober I thought about doing something like this only to realize it would only be an attempt to show my ex wife that I was sober. It wasn't until much later I understood that the trust broken between us was beyond repair as was the case with many of my relationships. Well anyway I love your take on your new found sobriety and keep making great videos. They help all of us
The only thing that you have to do today is not use, and then do that again tomorrow and repeat. You can do this because you matter! You are a lot stronger than you think. I can promise you that! ❤
I don't count anymore. I just decided I'm happier without drugs than with them. Once that happens, there is no longer any battle that needs days counted to keep me straight. I just moved on and live. If it's your thing, great! Congrats.
My sister was an RN addict with much of the same reasons for taking loratabs. Said she felt it gave her more personality and more personable when teaching classes. She has gone thru the nursing rehab program twice. Now off pills but has recently started drinking again. I worry for her sobriety
At the risk of being inappropriate I wanted to offer an opinion/option. I am very opposed to the word addicted/addiction. I feel like it’s a very “powerless” “victim” “hopeless “ lifestyle I prefer overuse/abuse/indulgence….. Things that I have decided to not let own me….. Cigarettes Alcohol Opiates Adderall Food To name a few…… I think the word addiction indicates you have lost your power to decide. These behaviors sneak in where the selfness is absence. Exactly what you are saying about the authenticity. Yes on living simply. I agree with you on not going back and focusing on how long you’ve been clean. We must remember, being clean is what is normal, not trying to be clean!!!!
Can you talk about what interesting people you met in prison? How did they react to you being a former nurse? Did you meet people that came from other professional fields that you were shocked/surprised to see in there with you?
You might want to read a book called "Diary of a drug fiend" by Alester Crowley. It is about what you are talking about. Yes Alester Crowley is a bad guy but good long long book.
Yes definitely! My second UA-cam video that I ever made was actually about being minimalist ❤ I try my best to be as minimal as possible and I want to live in a tiny home or a Sprinter Van ❤❤😊
I don’t have experience with drug addiction, but I did have extremely severe anorexia binge purge subtype. I can name the last day I had certain behaviours because it was the last hospitalization in 2018, and then residential in 2019, but I don’t know the number of days unless I calculated lol. It’s good to move past eventually.
What do I do when my authentic self is severely depressed? I take drugs to self medicate for depression, and nothing else seems to help. Im at the point where I feel unable to get through my day without substances i wish there was a way for me to be authentic and also be productive and not spend all hours of the day crying 😢
I’m so sorry you are suffering through this. Depression is an absolute nightmare. I am going to save this comment and see if I can maybe make a video around it because it is such a good comment/question. In the meantime, don’t hesitate to shoot me an email if you want someone to talk to. I’d love to Zoom with you if you feel like there is anything I can do for you. ❤ smilesformilescontact@gmail.com
@SmilesforMiles2024 Thank you so much for you comment, if ever decide to make a video on this topic I would love to watch, but I understand it is a dark topic and possibly triggering topic, so no need to go into depth about anything that makes you uncomfortable! Even though I am currently struggling, your videos really help me, thank you so much for sharing your story, and congratulations on your sober streak! Here's to another 1,000 days strong!! 💪
Good for you! I am off my biggest problem substance for 16 years this month, but a few times I've been inconsistent with total abstinence of all substances. I'm curious how long you feel you were " functioning" as an addict? I'm exactly your age, and seemingly have a similar background or life experience , and i guess, due to a slip up a few months ago, I've been looking for meaning of insight on my own life perhaps? I personally have struggled by being "functional" (at least to strangers and acquaintances with opiates for most my time using) until it's missing and then my world would fall apart if i was dependent. I'm just curious if you miss having a clear purpose, or goal to your day...

Im just curious if that's changed for you, or if you can even relate? Sorry, i just felt a genuine connection to your stories on the channel, and i felt like reaching out, because i honestly don't see many users like myself... most my friends who used to be in this world. Have all passed away over 20 years. So your attitude and success is inspiring, as it feels familiar to parts of my life journey. Sorry I'm rambling, but anyhow- congratulations on your hard fought progress. - Alex
I have a video idea of something i wonder about with recovering addicts. How do recovering addicts cope with societies judgments. It seems like recovering addicts are treated horribly by society like thier dangerous and something to run away from and get no respect at all. How does someone recovering from drug addiction cope with that.
was curious if you used anything like suboxone or methadone to help with your sobriety. I myself take suboxone. Kratom was my drug of choice and i just couldnt stop it on my own and was lucky enough to have a doctor that helped. I feel like im missing out on the therapy part do you partake in therapy? Thanks in advance, Autumn
Do you think you had to be more mature to get off drugs. I am worried about my drug addict son.. He seems emotionally immature and I wonder if that is one of the reasons he has a hard time getting off drugs.
It could be part of it 🤔 but I think it’s more just finding better reasons to be off them than to be on them. Everyone is different and the way they find their way off of drugs is different. I’m sorry you are dealing with that though. I’m sure it’s not easy. My heart goes out to you ❤❤
Congratulations on 1000 days. Can I please ask a question regarding Meth? What is it that u crave sex? Do ur feelings really switch off and it’s just about pleasure. So many cheat on meth.
Thank you 😊 I appreciate it. That is a good question. Meth can definitely be very sexually stimulating. It can have an effect similar to MDMA where you feel like you are very sexually charged. That combined with the lowered inhibitions can cause people to become sexually reckless I suppose. Good question!
I encourage you to remain sober because you really do have a beautiful mind and I'd hate to see it wasted. 🙏💪🗣
Thanks for sharing your experience. Congratulations. One day at a time. 😊
You are so smart and such a good-looking man with such a calming voice❤ Your life will continue to be great and rewarding. Great job on your sobriety!
Wow! What an awesome comment. It was so nice to read this. Got me smiling ear to ear 😊. Thank you so much 🙏❤️

At the risk of being inappropriate I wanted to offer an opinion/option.
I am very opposed to the word addicted/addiction. I feel like it’s a very “powerless” “victim” “hopeless “ lifestyle
I prefer overuse/abuse/indulgence…..
Things that I have decided to not let own me…..
Cigarettes
Alcohol
Opiates
Adderall
Food
To name a few……
I think the word addiction indicates you have lost your power to decide. These behaviors sneak in where the selfness is absence. Exactly what you are saying about the authenticity.
