My kids affect my sobriety as much as almost anything. It's a wild roller coaster, is a good way to put it. Having kids is a roller coaster with plenty of ups and plenty of downs, and I think the down moments ultimately fade away and the good ones stick around.
Imagine trying to juggle sobriety and parenting—sounds like a wild ride, right? In this episode of 'LOL Sober', Nelson H. opens up about his journey as a sober parent. He shares candidly about the highs and lows, painting a vivid picture of how his kids have impacted his sobriety. Nelson humorously recalls a friend's question about what it's like to be a parent. His answer?
'My ten best moments of the year involve my kids, and so do my ten worst.' This sums up the rollercoaster of emotions that come with parenting, especially when you're committed to staying sober. Nelson doesn't shy away from discussing the tough parts. From holiday stress to family bickering, he talks about how these challenges test his patience and sobriety. Yet, he also highlights the importance of gratitude and love in navigating these rocky moments.
His mother-in-law's cheeky remark, 'Good luck, kids will drive you to drink', serves as a humorous reminder of the temptations he faces. Throughout the episode, Nelson's wit and honesty shine through. He reflects on how his children have been mirrors to his character defects, pushing him to become a better dad. If you're a parent trying to stay sober or just need a good laugh, this episode offers both heartfelt insights and comic relief.
Tune in to hear Nelson's stories and perhaps find some comfort in knowing you're not alone on this crazy ride.
