I think it has been more beneficial when I'm working steadily in short doses on sobriety, rather than getting together for Two Days and plowing through the steps or a book or anything.
Imagine being in sixth grade and spending an entire day listening to terrifying talks about drugs, alcohol, and sex. That’s exactly what happened to Nelson H. and his classmates, and it led to a rather amusing pact among friends. In this episode of 'LOL Sober', Nelson shares the story of how a day of fear-inducing lectures convinced him and his pals to swear off drinking, smoking, and even sex, which they found particularly gross at the time.
Fast forward a few decades, and Nelson reflects on how those early experiences shaped his views on addiction and sobriety. He emphasizes the importance of having regular, honest conversations with kids about these topics instead of relying on one-off scare tactics. Nelson's humorous storytelling not only entertains but also sheds light on the serious impact of childhood experiences on adult life. Tune in for a blend of laughter and valuable insights as Nelson navigates the intersection of humor and sobriety.
