Forgive the living s**t out of people. That's a really hard thing, even at this stage of recovery for me, because as much as you don't want to keep score in marriage or keep score in any loving relationship, it's almost impossible for me, those kinds of long term relationships.
Picture this: a snowy morning, a minivan full of kids, and a promise of Dunkin Donuts. Nelson H., the host of 'LOL Sober', recounts a recent family trip to Great Wolf Lodge that turned into an unexpected lesson in forgiveness. Inspired by a saying he heard at a meeting—'Forgive the living s**t out of people'—Nelson shares how this mantra popped into his head just when he needed it most.
In this episode, Nelson dives into the chaos of getting his family ready for the trip amidst a looming snowstorm. Despite everyone's assurances, things didn’t go as planned. His wife’s forgetfulness led to a tense moment on the highway, but instead of letting anger take over, Nelson chose to embrace forgiveness. This decision not only diffused the situation but also strengthened their bond. Nelson's storytelling is both humorous and heartfelt, making the heavy topic of forgiveness feel relatable and manageable.
He highlights how letting go of anger and resentment can be a game-changer in recovery. By sharing his personal experience, Nelson underscores the importance of compromise and accountability in relationships, and how these elements can foster personal growth. If you're navigating your own journey to sobriety or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights wrapped in humor and real-life scenarios.
Nelson’s candid reflections remind us all that choosing kindness over resentment can transform not just our recovery journey but our everyday lives.
