The steps are tools to use for my entire life all the time, not once every years that there is something that should be an active part of my life all the time.
Picture this: you stumble upon a meme that perfectly captures the struggle of wanting serenity without putting in the work. In this episode of 'LOL Sober', Nelson H. dives into a hilarious yet thought-provoking meme he found on Instagram. The meme, from an account humorously named Alanoneofyourfuckingbusiness, shows a crowd eagerly raising their hands when asked, 'Who wants serenity?' But when asked, 'Who wants to work the steps?' the same crowd falls silent.
It's a scenario many of us can relate to – wanting the benefits without the effort. Nelson doesn't shy away from admitting he too has wished for a quick fix. He shares his own experiences with the 'recovery drive-through window', where he hoped for instant results without the hard work. But as he reflects, true serenity comes at a price – and that price is the commitment to working the steps.
Nelson talks candidly about his journey through these steps, the progress he's made, and the value of micro-stepping to tackle character defects. What makes this episode stand out is Nelson's ability to blend humor with the gritty realities of recovery. His reflections on the meme serve as a springboard for deeper discussions about the importance of meetings, having a sponsor, and sponsoring others. Through his personal anecdotes and witty observations, Nelson offers a unique perspective that’s both entertaining and enlightening.
Whether you're new to sobriety or a seasoned veteran, this episode of 'LOL Sober' provides a refreshing take on the journey to serenity. It’s a reminder that while the path may be challenging, it’s also filled with moments of laughter and growth. Tune in for some honest reflections and a good chuckle – you might just find yourself nodding along in agreement.
