Maybe you don't need to, sure, maybe you don't need to. Maybe you're like me and you still like to isolate a little bit. Maybe I'll do it Tomorrow. I always catch myself saying: you know what. I'll just call him Tomorrow, or I'll be like I'll grab him at the next meeting I see him at and I'll say something to him then.
Ever thought a simple text could be a lifeline? In this episode of 'LOL Sober', Nelson H. brings to life a touching story about the power of sober support networks. Picture this: a late-night football game, a nail-biting finish, and a young man named Hank, fresh into his sobriety journey. Nelson recalls the moment he almost hesitated to text Hank, but then hit send.
That small gesture turned into a meaningful connection, reinforcing the importance of reaching out, even when it feels insignificant. Hank, a die-hard Green Bay Packers fan, was navigating the early stages of recovery with impressive dedication. He did 90 meetings in 90 days and made constant phone calls, embodying the hustle and spirit of someone determined to stay sober.
Nelson found inspiration in Hank’s energy, much like drafting behind a fast car in a NASCAR race, letting that momentum pull him forward. Nelson's story isn't just about football or texts; it's about breaking the chains of isolation that often come with sobriety. He delves into how these small acts of connection can create a ripple effect, making someone feel seen and supported.
By sharing this personal anecdote, Nelson highlights the profound impact of community and the joy found in everyday victories. So, if you’ve ever wondered whether to send that text or make that call, this episode is your answer. Embrace those little moments—they might just be the boost someone needs on their path to recovery.
