The new year got off to a roaring start. Thanks for letting me.
Picture this: It's New Year's Eve, and Nelson, the host of 'LOL Sober', is sent on a grocery run. What should be a simple task turns into a chaotic adventure with elderly shoppers, loudspeaker phone calls, and a whole lot of frustration. As Nelson navigates the mayhem, he finds himself wrestling with resentment and irritation.
But then, stepping outside into the crisp winter air, he takes a deep breath and feels a wave of gratitude for his sobriety wash over him. In this episode, Nelson reflects on why New Year's has always been the hardest holiday for him to stay sober, even more challenging than Christmas or Thanksgiving.

Amidst the chaos, a chance encounter with another person in recovery outside the store brings a moment of connection and laughter, reminding Nelson of the power of shared experiences in the journey to sobriety. This episode is a blend of humor and heartfelt reflection, perfect for anyone who finds the holiday season particularly tough.
Nelson's candid storytelling and relatable anecdotes offer both comfort and a few good laughs, making it clear that even in the most chaotic times, there's always room for gratitude and hope.
