So I guess bottom line is swearing a character defect.
Ever wondered if your colorful language might be more than just a habit? Nelson H. certainly has. In this episode of 'LOL Sober', Nelson dives into the sticky topic of swearing and its place in sobriety. It all started at a meeting where the group had a no-swearing rule. Nelson played along for a while, but it got him thinking: is swearing really a character defect or just a personal choice? Nelson doesn't shy away from the complexities.
He shares his thoughts on Steps Six and Seven from the Big Book, which touch on character defects, and laments how brief they are—just two paragraphs! For Nelson, these steps are anything but simple. He finds them challenging because character defects can be elusive, disappearing and reappearing like a game of whack-a-mole. To dig deeper, Nelson turns to the '12 and 12' book and 'Drop the Rock', both of which offer more extensive discussions on these steps.
These resources provide him with valuable insights and practical stories that help him grapple with his own flaws. But what about swearing? Nelson explores its role in his life, especially in the context of sobriety and comedy. Is it just a way to get a laugh, or does it say something deeper about our character? This episode is packed with humor, reflection, and some hard-hitting questions that anyone on the journey to sobriety might find relatable.
So, if you've ever caught yourself wondering if dropping an F-bomb is a sign of a deeper issue or just part of who you are, this episode is for you. Tune in to hear Nelson's candid take on swearing, character defects, and the road to recovery.
