    I rarely ever comment, but I just stumbled across your channel and have been binge-watching your videos. Your ability to self-reflect and maintain a positive outlook on life is SO inspirational! Keep up the amazing work :)

    This is the motivation I need to finish my nursing program. Thank you!

    I bet you are the best box stacker they have. I think that taking pride in whatever task we perform reflects in other areas of our lives.

    I've been on and off clean (mostly clean but with a slip up for 6 months to a year every few years) also from heroij but have been on methadone for last 10 years. Have not done heroin since, but plenty of oxy etc. I really love your channel man, really inspiring.

    There may be many options for you once you are done with serving your sentence. The Nevada second chance, sealing records, pardons-restoring your rights, etc. If you stay clean and do not reoffend, maybe you will be eligible for something. You should look into it. If you do all of that, you will be eligible for so many more jobs that would suit you better.

    It is great that you get a lot of exercise at your job, out of the house, around other people.

    I really have nothing in common with you, I’m a 39 year old soon to be single mother of 4. My children’s father is an alcoholic and drug addict who I’ve finally left after 20 years. I’m really starting from scratch also. I was a stay at home wife/mother for 18 years. My 19 year old son owns a restaurant and I now work for him.
    I found your channel today and am binge watching all the videos. You’ve encouraged me a lot in the few that I’ve watched. Keep pushing and smiling. You have a beautiful smile.

      Thank you so much for watching. My wife who finally left me a few years ago was my partner for 15 years. I'm so glad that she was able to do that. It was so hard for her. I'm happy that you got out as well. I know all too well how difficult that must have been for you. My ex and I are better friends today than we have ever been. Maybe, if he gets better, that will happen for you two as well. I appreciate you sharing this.

      @@SmilesforMiles2024 that is my hope also. Right now the children are all old enough that they want nothing to do with him. I’m hoping after they see him moving on it will get better. Thank you for your encouragement.

    At some point your could start telling stories unrelated to addiction regarding your experiences as a nurse. I bet you have years of stories to put on UA-cam-you will never run out.

    Why not wrap your monitor in plastic so that you can swim longer? That’s what people do who have casts on.

    How do you get the items to the customer? Ship? Do you have to the post office?

    So.. ..do you take dry undies in real life or just not wear any back to work? 🤓 Or do you take a skinny dip? ♥️
