I got sober to enjoy some of the things that happen on earth, you know, and so, as long as it's reasonable, that's how I'm going to be thinking about things and that's what I'm going to do.
Can you love TV and sports without jeopardizing your sobriety? Nelson H., the lively host of 'LOL Sober', tackles this very question in a thought-provoking episode titled 'It's OK to love TV too much (I think?)'.

He advocates for a balanced approach, where one can relish life's pleasures without compromising their sobriety. Nelson's reflections offer valuable insights for anyone navigating the tricky waters of maintaining sobriety while indulging in personal interests.
