My favorite part of the "My First Moments of FREEDOM After 3 YEARS of INCARCERATION " was seeing your cheeks so full of joy they almost burst. I am so happy for you. Stay on the path and enjoy all the wonderful lessons this process has afforded you to learn. Cheers.

[@karenglenn6707]

I worked for the police here in Australia for 15yrs and have been watching some of your journey. I am so pleased for you, this is just amazing! Well done to you for breaking free (literally and figuratively) and being able to live a normal life now without drugs. Many of us are just so happy for you and look forward to seeing you thrive. Best wishes.

taken freedom for granted? well of course yes. I did nothing to lose it!

[@ameliarose47]

​@@leviton31You don't necessarily have to do something to lose your freedom. Besides the obvious "you could get framed/wrongly accused for something you didn't do" there's tons of medical issues that prevent people from being able to do simple things like this. You could be in a car accident or contract an illness at any time. Hell, aliens could enslave us tomorrow for all we know. Our freedoms are still something to be grateful for.

[@blue99saturn]

That's fantastic, Brian. You earned this moment by following all the instructions you were given. Continue to do your best one day at a time.

nice! When I was a sophomore in high school many decades ago, I finally got the braces off my teeth after several years (and much mocking), and I can remember walking on air after leaving the orthodontist. My first stop was to a local fruit stand where I bought a big, crunchy apple and bit into it. All these years later I can taste it and feel it - it was freedom. Now multiply that by about a million and I'd imagine that's what you're feeling...

[@Crazyreviewer123]

That’s exactly how I felt as well when I was finally set free of braces after a long 8 years. And what makes it more special it happened on my birthday date. I may have been pretty sore and not able to enjoy my birthday dinner as much but that didn’t matter to me it was the best present I could have ever had the freedom of seeing my teeth straight for the first time. It feels great to be braces free years later

[@Sports.Reviews_Darragh]

[@missdenisebee]

Congratulations! Freedom as an adult is something you absolutely take for granted, until you lose it. I wasn’t held after my DUI arrest in 2020, but I did go to rehab a couple years ago, my first inpatient after 14yrs of addiction, and I remember the day I got out…being able to smoke whenever I wanted, with my own lighter, felt so foreign. Going to the store felt weird, too. Driving. Absolutely everything. And that was after only a month away! I can’t imagine how it feels after years!

The feeling of freedom is overwhelming and a lot of PTSD follows from such a legally ordered confinement. I was ordered to wear a scram device for a long part of my recovery from alcoholism and the day it was taken off wasn't a happy time, I had more fear than anything else. The mental toll it takes on you is life-changing...

Brian, Congratulations!!! You have earned your freedom and taught us valuable lessons too. I am certain that your mindfulness practice has been a foundation (it changes the brain) for your ability to accept what could not be changed and to change yourself in ways that have resulted in your happiness. The key mindfulness skill of Equanimity helps us to not push away away or cling to our experiences (negative thoughts and emotions or addictive desires), which results in balanced emotions and wise decisions. Thank you for helping me look at my freedom with new gratitude since it is so easy to take it all for granted. Keep doing the good work and share it here with us.

[@hannahxx17]

Watching some of your videos is obvious that you're in a very good place mentally and seem very level headed at this point in your journey. As someone who has gone through massive and sudden life changes my advice to you is to maintain the same routine as you did with the monitor for 90% of the time just for a few weeks otherwise the freedom and change can, ironically, be overwhelming and hard to cope with. It's a big and positive change but too much too fast can place more pressure on ourselves than necessary. Ease your way in to this next step and enjoy it piece by piece my friend. I am so proud of you.

[@brennanbourne]

What a beautiful video! You put in so much work to improve yourself and your life, so it is much deserved!
