Zoom Meetings: Nelson H.'s Surprising Shift in Perspective

Zoom meetings are a tool that none of us had for the first years of trying to get sober in this country, in this world. Now we have it, and I should be thankful and appreciative of that.
Ever had a love-hate relationship with something essential? Nelson H. certainly did with Zoom meetings during the pandemic. In this episode of 'LOL Sober', Nelson takes us on a rollercoaster ride through his initial disdain and eventual appreciation for virtual AA meetings. Picture this: Nelson, a self-proclaimed skeptic, missing the camaraderie of in-person gatherings, grumbling about the lack of human touch and shared experiences. Yet, as time passed, he found himself rethinking his stance.
He realized that while Zoom meetings might lack the physical presence he cherished, they offered unexpected benefits that were hard to ignore. Nelson dives into the pros and cons of these virtual gatherings, sharing his candid thoughts on how they stack up against traditional meetings. He talks about the convenience, accessibility, and even the surprising sense of community that can be built online.
But it's not all rosy; he also addresses the limitations and the emotional void that virtual meetings sometimes leave. If you've ever wondered how to strike a balance between virtual and in-person support in your recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen. Nelson's journey from skepticism to appreciation offers valuable insights and might just change how you view those Zoom squares.
