Until a couple months ago, I would have never thought that being incarcerated would ever be considered a blessing. My son was arrested and in jail for one month and it totally changed in him for better. He reconnected with God and found a new hope and drive. It was painful but rewarding. And like others, this just showed up in my UA-cam feed. I'm glad I clicked on it. I am praying for continued healing and restoration for you.
I just got off house arrest earlier this month, the feeling of freedom is very abnormal. I still feel as if I’m being tracked, even though I’m completely free again. This is an amazing channel to come across. Congrats to you and here’s to sobriety.
Interestingly enough, there are people out there that have no interest in alcohol/drugs, but are hooked to sugar/processed foods/fast food. It’s a real struggle and addiction for so many.
I truly believe everyone either has and/or has had an addiction to something. Sugar, religion, adrenaline, exercise, sex, drugs, food in general, etc. The definition, for me, is any obsessive behavior that has started to negatively affect your life (and the people around you).
Have no idea why the UA-cam algorithm recommended this video but I'm glad it did ! Off to binge watch the rest of your content lol cheers from your new fan in Colombia amigo!
Congratulations! I can't tell you how much I have appreciated you sharing your journey. You are like a new friend who share incredible advice and learning experiences that make a difference. You are a truly a kind and compassionate person and I can't wait to see what you do next.
Thanks for the incite. I had so much that the world told me I needed. In one year I lost my wife, my house, my car, my job and all my money. I went homeless and was arrested twice. I never did go to jail and I ended up getting a new job and getting certified to drive trucks. I realize I had been chasing debt and pleasing everyone around me for decades. I have started over, probably 3 times cause I lot everything two more times. But I am no longer chafing debt or things. I was close to going to jail, but it is possible to start all over and find a new life and peace. Glad to hear you story about how you felt with that long period of incarceration.
Dude I saw your day in a life video, I can feel your struggle and pain but still glad you have a better routine than I do. I’m glad to see you happy, god bless you ❤

Congratulations!!! Thanks for sharing about slipping out of a healthy lifestyle. It is so easy to focus on the immediate and lament your situation in life. You reminded me to stay focused!! So happy you’ll soon have some freedom. Best wishes
You can definitely tell/feel the difference exercising after junk food or healthy stuff. No idea how you came up on my feed. Thanks for sharing your story. I hope you stay clean and continue to do well.
Thanks for sharing Miles. You’re honesty and transparency shows others like me that our life isn’t over despite an unfortunate rock bottom. I can relate a lot. I had my dream life as a RN in icu, but I was burnt out, it lead to an event where I may lose my license in about a year. Still grieving after many months. I’m about to turn 30 and feel like I’m starting my life from scratch. I feel that nursing is the only thing I ever wanted to do it gave me purpose which I’ve learned is some sort of codependency. Struggling to think of other paths that may be fulfilling. I’m lacking the growth mindset right now that I need in order to move in the direction I need to. Appreciate ya
I'm sorry you're going through this. Channels like this remind us that its never over and there is life on the other side of this. Maybe look into nutrition. I'm 36 and just switched careers to becoming a registered dietitian (which can be used in community and food service settings.) Maybe look into it?
CONGRATS BRIAN! No joke, I just put a yellow post it on my bathroom mirror: FUEL, ACTIVITY, SCREEN TIME, and SLEEP. I've been sober for a few years and you honestly forget living simply after a while. It's normal. Try to remember the insanity that is addiction when it's quiet. It's the peace and quiet that takes us out, not the crazy times. Proud of you.
I have to say, that was so inspiring what you were saying about happiness from within. While you were saying it, I was literally saying YES out loud to you as if you were in the same room. I feel exactly the same way, regardless of external circumstances. My wife keeps telling me to be thankful for everything I have, and honestly, I am to some degree, but there is still that internal dissatisfaction of what is happing inside me. Listening to you talk about it was like a light bulb turning on. It is exactly how I feel!!! Thank you for that, and I am so happy for you getting through all of this!
I wish I could subscribe multiple times. You have gone through so much and you're getting through it. You're the perfect example of how it's ok to be uncomfortable and to sit through your emotions.
All the best from Ireland. You come across as a lovely, genuine person. Awful to think of you experiencing the horrors of prison. Glad the nightmare is over for you. Best wishes 🎉
Congratulations on surviving your incarceration. You accomplished allot in this season of your life, looking forward to seeing you tomorrow Brian and I wish you success and peace in your next adventure!
Thanks for the advice and you know what I got out of it is to try to meditate and meditate does work and I'm glad you learned these lessons and it's teaching me something as well don't take life for granted.
Tomorrow im going to work to speak with HR and asking for some time off. Drugs plus not caring anymore about anything. This isn't what I want. 42 now. Never asked for help. There's got to be a reason why I came across your video tonight. Thank you and congratulations.
Glad to hear you are un-tethered from the system. Just be careful not to get into anymore trouble. The bars and casinos in Reno are a real 24 hour temptation. Hope you can get back into nursing as we need more trained RNs especially at Renown 🌞🌔
This is one of the best commentaries in mental health that I heard. It's not theoretical,it is pure practical experience of one individual. Our mental feeling is nothing more than neurochemistry; give a calm person 1g of caffeine and ask them to stay calm; Or give a rational 100ml of alcohol and ask them to stay rational: It doesn't work that way, because what dictates our feeling is not or "will power", but rather the chemicals and neurological pathways our brain operates on. When you eat and sleep poorly, don't socialize, get addicted to antisocial gratification (video games and pornography) , is like getting a car, puncturing all the tires and then wanting it to perform
Y'know I found your channel because of your Day in the Life video and have been catching up on a lot of the key ones since then and it's great to see that you're out! Congrats! Your videos go beyond the drug addiction demographic, I've never touched any in my life but still am constantly inspired by what you say and your experiences, keep it up man
Thank you for this video which answers a lot of questions for me after watching a previous video. I love the fact that you are working a steady job, exercising, eating great and looking after your health with exercise. We are all human and make mistakes but that doesn't define who we are. All the best for your future and please keep making YT content because you definitely have the X factor in front of a camera. Love from Australia 🙃😁
We may not have similar life circumstances but the coping mechanisms, ideologies for recovery and self help and improvement is extremely relatable. Heal at our usual pace. As a fellow nurse, im proud of you 👏❤🩹
Your mistake’s doesn’t define you in totality. We learned the hardest lessons we could ever imagine. It’s never too late to pick up the pieces and turn things around positively. All the best!
I am so happy for you and even though I don't even know you I am very proud of you and how you have worked so hard to achieve your goal. You turned your life around and I truly hope that you will continue this podcast, your new life and your very positive attitude. You so deserve to get out early and start your new life. I hope you will be able to move back closer to your family. Best of Luck to you. I hope all your wishes and dreams come true. 🙏👍🙏
Would you consider doing a video on your Mindfulness daily practice? Wondering what that means for you, how you practice it, and the benefits you gain? Thank you for sharing your experiences and life ❤ LOVE this storytime! 🙏
I totally agree that your happiness is more to do with within than circumstances. Most people don't believe me when I say it. You are much more articulate and persuasive than I could be, so I appreciate you sharing your story and help people understand how to be happier. When I was a small kid, I thought if someone had a big TV, pizza, a playstation one, and over 100 games, I thought they must be happy. I mean, how could they not be happy? They have all those games! However, once I became a young adult, I had a playstation 3, over 100 games, and a 50 inch TV, but I was surprised that it was not the recipe for guaranteed happiness. It forced me to rethink what happiness is. Would increasing the size of my TV make me happy? Would having 10000 games instead of 100 games make me happy? I found that happiness was mostly internal around age 25, but when I talk with other people, I couldn't find many people who agreed with me. When most people find out that what they thought would make them happy doesn't make them happy, I feel most of them start to look for happiness elsewhere instead of questioning their fundamental beliefs. "Oh, a Playstation 5 didn't make me happy. Maybe a yacht will make me happy." We were wrong about the Playstation 5, so how can you be so sure we are not wrong about the yacht? I'm "happy" that someone else is able to explain it better than I could (although that is not required for my happiness)
You have a beautiful soul and your message is super inspiring and keep doing it and you have amazing stories to touch and you are so beautiful 😍 🤩 👌 ❣️
Congratulations brother. Your words are wise. I need to keep reminding myself to take care of me and most everything else should fall into place. Not everyday is gumdrops and lollipops but a damn site better than 23 years ago drunk, drugged, and miserable. Take good care of yourself my friend. Keep it simple ❤
So happy for him. Payed his dues to himself, I'm sure he's always been a genuine human being. Hope he finds love to run threw life with. In a good way of course..
Not sure why this came up today but very relevant..I finished my 4th counselling session today and what you said made total sense and thank you for sharing….wish you all the luck for the future…xx
my room mate did time in prison and has recovered but also lost everything. seems like you have the knowledge to make better choices and find a new happiness....with my oldest brother i found help from church and god spiritualy rebuilding my life. I was totaly wrecked from living through my mothers untreated schizophrenia. good luck with it all
Just stumbled on your channel for the first time. I will have to watch your journey over your incarceration. Good luck for tomorrow! So... your single... where you at? What a sweetie you are ❤
You are a man who lived in darkness and came out of the shadows a better man. I don’t know why this popped up on my youtube but i’m glad because i can see that you are better and you learned a lot about yourself. Congratulations god bless you that you learned
brilliant. you unwittingly did an experiment :) no wonder you didn't post a video that week! i listened to your podcast with Kath... lots of bits in there that touch on the themes in this video here. so so glad you are in such a great space and really inspired by all that you have shared, thanks Brian
I'm also going to use that, "Fuel, Activity, Screentime, Sleep/ F.A.S.S." AWESOME! Maybe I'll add a "T" for time with others. Acronyms work well in my brain. Thanks again, you're a life changer😎
Wishing you the best of luck and hoping the house arrest does end ! This is solid advice you've given and I've heard it in relation to depression but never made as compellingly as here! All power to you! 👍🏻
Hey there! I watched all of your videos and I wish you only the best for all your upcoming adventures and obstacles in life. We all have to find our path and sometimes it goes not as we planned. But we are on our way, and so are you. Good luck! Greets from Switzerland!
I have always said money does not bring happiness or health you can have all the money in the world but if you are not happy it’s worth nothing, you can have all the money in the world but if you are diagnosed with a terminal disease it can not fix you, and you have clarified this. You have a lot going for you and I truly believe that one day in the not to far future you will be living a happy healthy fulfilling life sending you best wishes from the UK. ❤
I had a wife that was addicted to H, and she would get anxious every time she was coming to an end of a clean period or sentence, she knew there was no controls and it was only up to her to stay clean. It scared the hell out of her. As soon as she got bored, she knew the H was the place she would find herself.. I dont want to say how it ended, but we divorced about 15 years ago... Hope you can stay with the routine and never stop... Dont ever trust yourself. The dreams during sleep are the worst, you wake up wanting the bad stuff,,, then you just have to jump out of bed and start being active instead...
My thought as it just came to me after finding you in UA-cam. You really would be an amazing drug and alcohol counselor. If your strong enough in your addiction. Possible a methadone or Suboxone clinic. Just something to think bout. I've snuggled with a hard addiction when my mom passed away in 1984.. Find cpl years here and there. Prayers appreciated Brian I don't really exercise unless back in the day if walk five plus miles to get to my plug lol. So I'm going start walking as I'm on a Suboxone clinic and I will not be in there but one more month. I am using it as a detox, didn't want stich one drug for another. Be blessed on your new journey brother in Christ Greg from Maryville Tennessee
You said that most people treat their bodies badly - that's so true. I get allergy shots, and it appalls me that almost all of the nurses are very fat. I do my best to live very healthy - lowfat whole foods plant-based diet, weightlifting and aerobic exercise, enough sleep ... People regularly assume I must be young, but I'm on Medicare now. It must be so difficult, carrying so much weight around. It doesn't matter so much for young people, but when people get older, the health problems caused by obesity just pile up. Joints giving way, blocked arteries, breast cancer, etc. etc. etc. ... Why does this happen to people? Part of it is just that these nurses are probably very busy, and fast food is easy. I was seeing a cardiologist, and I noticed he was getting fatter and fatter over the years. So I brought up my lowfat plant-based diet with him. He agreed enthusiastically that plant-based was very heart-healthy, and I said "lowfat too", and he agreed with that as well. He said he was vegetarian, and he said he loved vegetarian fast food - fake meat, I think it was. Which is NOT lowfat. So I can see how he got fat anyway - the fast food is easy and tasty. And there's our culture. Food companies make a lot of money selling appetizing but fattening food ...
I belive you.....when I dont work or do anything,just relax at home day by day and I felt strange,feeling worse and worse (state of mind) ......It's terrible to be locked up at home for a few days, let alone 3 years
I'm not sure how you showed up on my UA-cam, but I am eternally grateful. Good luck to you, Sir.
watch more of his videos! they are so good!!

I totally agree that your happiness is more to do with within than circumstances. Most people don't believe me when I say it. You are much more articulate and persuasive than I could be, so I appreciate you sharing your story and help people understand how to be happier.
When I was a small kid, I thought if someone had a big TV, pizza, a playstation one, and over 100 games, I thought they must be happy. I mean, how could they not be happy? They have all those games! However, once I became a young adult, I had a playstation 3, over 100 games, and a 50 inch TV, but I was surprised that it was not the recipe for guaranteed happiness. It forced me to rethink what happiness is. Would increasing the size of my TV make me happy? Would having 10000 games instead of 100 games make me happy?

I'm "happy" that someone else is able to explain it better than I could (although that is not required for my happiness)
You have a beautiful soul and your message is super inspiring and keep doing it and you have amazing stories to touch and you are so beautiful 😍 🤩 👌 ❣️
Congratulations brother. Your words are wise. I need to keep reminding myself to take care of me and most everything else should fall into place. Not everyday is gumdrops and lollipops but a damn site better than 23 years ago drunk, drugged, and miserable. Take good care of yourself my friend. Keep it simple ❤
So happy for you man hope you have a great rest of your life
Great advice sir. Glad I found your channel. What a perspective.
You're a good and smart soul, I wish you every happiness. You've earned it and I'm sure the rest of your life will be a success.

Forever grateful that I found you. I didn't know I needed to hear your story until I did.
I've never been incarcerated, but I'm going through a breakup from my girlfriend of 11 years right now, and this was really helpful to hear, thanks!
Wow, you actually explained that so well! You should be an educator about this kind of stuff!
I'm sure it's been rough I'm happy You're free
I am so proud of you for not jumping the fence! Lord knows I don't know if I could have done it. I'd love to take you out for a cup of coffee!
Just stumbled on your channel for the first time. I will have to watch your journey over your incarceration.
Good luck for tomorrow!
So... your single... where you at? What a sweetie you are ❤
Congratulations I’m so proud of you !!!! Your so amazing 🥹❤️
You are a man who lived in darkness and came out of the shadows a better man.
I don’t know why this popped up on my youtube but i’m glad because i can see that you are better and you learned a lot about yourself.
Congratulations god bless you that you learned
brilliant. you unwittingly did an experiment :) no wonder you didn't post a video that week!
i listened to your podcast with Kath... lots of bits in there that touch on the themes in this video here. so so glad you are in such a great space and really inspired by all that you have shared, thanks Brian
props to your endurance for what life throws at u
I wish you the best. We can all make mistakes and we can fix them. They are there to learn from. I wish your life to be full of good things.
Congrats, Brian! Thank you for a great video and congrats on all of the progress you have made.
Sooo inspiring ❤ .. please can you make a video on your meditation?
Good job bro, be strong
Good luck to your fresh, new beginning.
I'm also going to use that, "Fuel, Activity, Screentime, Sleep/ F.A.S.S." AWESOME! Maybe I'll add a "T" for time with others. Acronyms work well in my brain. Thanks again, you're a life changer😎
FASST! I love it!
Surprisingly interesting insights from this channel.
We love this man.
Congratulations and thanks for sharing your story.
Mental health is huge we all struggle with something. Nobody is perfect I try to remember that everyday. It’s hard though it really is😢
Very much needed to hear this. Very helpful. Thank you !!!
Congrats man!!!
I really needed to watch this
Congrats!🎉 This is a great video… the real deal.👏🏽🙏🏽
Wishing you the best of luck and hoping the house arrest does end !
This is solid advice you've given and I've heard it in relation to depression but never made as compellingly as here! All power to you! 👍🏻
Hey there! I watched all of your videos and I wish you only the best for all your upcoming adventures and obstacles in life. We all have to find our path and sometimes it goes not as we planned. But we are on our way, and so are you. Good luck!

I had a wife that was addicted to H, and she would get anxious every time she was coming to an end of a clean period or sentence, she knew there was no controls and it was only up to her to stay clean. It scared the hell out of her. As soon as she got bored, she knew the H was the place she would find herself.. I dont want to say how it ended, but we divorced about 15 years ago... Hope you can stay with the routine and never stop... Dont ever trust yourself. The dreams during sleep are the worst, you wake up wanting the bad stuff,,, then you just have to jump out of bed and start being active instead...
My thought as it just came to me after finding you in UA-cam. You really would be an amazing drug and alcohol counselor. If your strong enough in your addiction. Possible a methadone or Suboxone clinic. Just something to think bout. I've snuggled with a hard addiction when my mom passed away in 1984.. Find cpl years here and there. Prayers appreciated Brian I don't really exercise unless back in the day if walk five plus miles to get to my plug lol. So I'm going start walking as I'm on a Suboxone clinic and I will not be in there but one more month. I am using it as a detox, didn't want stich one drug for another. Be blessed on your new journey brother in Christ Greg from Maryville Tennessee
You said that most people treat their bodies badly - that's so true.
I get allergy shots, and it appalls me that almost all of the nurses are very fat. I do my best to live very healthy - lowfat whole foods plant-based diet, weightlifting and aerobic exercise, enough sleep ... People regularly assume I must be young, but I'm on Medicare now.
It must be so difficult, carrying so much weight around. It doesn't matter so much for young people, but when people get older, the health problems caused by obesity just pile up. Joints giving way, blocked arteries, breast cancer, etc. etc. etc. ...
Why does this happen to people? Part of it is just that these nurses are probably very busy, and fast food is easy.
I was seeing a cardiologist, and I noticed he was getting fatter and fatter over the years. So I brought up my lowfat plant-based diet with him. He agreed enthusiastically that plant-based was very heart-healthy, and I said "lowfat too", and he agreed with that as well.
He said he was vegetarian, and he said he loved vegetarian fast food - fake meat, I think it was. Which is NOT lowfat. So I can see how he got fat anyway - the fast food is easy and tasty.
And there's our culture. Food companies make a lot of money selling appetizing but fattening food ...
Congrats man ! Goodluck !!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! 🎉😊🎉
u deserve blessings man
I belive you.....when I dont work or do anything,just relax at home day by day and I felt strange,feeling worse and worse (state of mind) ......It's terrible to be locked up at home for a few days, let alone 3 years
