I'm okay being me...She liked who she was, without the alcohol but with no other work. She liked who she was by just subtracting drinking.
Ever felt like sobriety meetings are a drag? Nelson H. gets it. In this episode of 'LOL Sober', he dives into the mixed feelings people often have about 12-step programs. Nelson opens up about his own journey, sharing how these meetings transformed his life almost like magic. But he’s quick to point out that everyone's path is unique. For some, the meetings are a lifeline; for others, they're just another chore.
Nelson even tells a story about a friend who hated every minute of those meetings but kept going because they kept her sober. This episode is all about keeping it simple: don’t drink and go to meetings. Nelson also reflects on the importance of self-acceptance in sobriety. He learned to be kinder to himself, swapping out the metaphorical baseball bat for a feather when it came to self-criticism.
While he believes in the total overhaul that recovery requires, he also recognizes that it's okay to embrace certain aspects of oneself that may not fit the mold of a 'spiritually fit' person. Nelson’s message is clear: sobriety is a personal journey, and it's okay to find your own way. Whether you're new to recovery or a seasoned vet, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on meetings, self-love, and the winding road to sobriety.
