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

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! 👏

[mysticsuzi]

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.

This might be the most depressing Smiles for Miles clip yet. But still good for us to see.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[betsybabf]

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.

I love the honor, tranquility, and regularity of my life in sobriety. Thank you for sharing your day with us.

Love your channel bro. You are helping many people with this, hang in there!

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

[Bill.R.]

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, 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.

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.

Bruh…..this is amazing. You’ve reached the next level of filming

[ArleneHeer]

“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 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.

[Rod-rges]

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.

[Josh-pqqj]

I just did a 7 piece in REAL PRISON.. This ish right here makes me angry.. Dude crying like a girl.. Be happy YOU HAVE YOUR OWN PLACE.. CAN COOK YOUR OWN FOOD.. THESE PRIVILEGED CRIMINAL'S NEED TO FEEL WHAT REAL TIME IS
SORRY EXCUSE FOR A MAN!

[shmoelyshpread]

That thumbnail…that’s what I’m f#!$ing talkin about. More skin, less talking. I’m glad you’re finally taking my advice.
