I definitely don't need to wave you off when you raise a concern, even if I disagree with it. I'm sorry and it won't happen again. And I man, it was hard. The crow was was warm, but it tasted like a shit sandwich. I got of me, so I got. I got a little aggravated for a moment because she still seemed so happy to be dunking on me, but I didn't say anything. I ate the crow and I thought, hey, if I, if I'm gonna stand under the rim, I'm going to get dunked on.
Ever had to eat your words? Nelson H. knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of 'LOL Sober', he humorously unpacks the concept of 'eating crow'—a term for admitting you're wrong and making amends. It all starts with a funny yet humbling joke from an old Grapevine: 'The best time to eat crow is when it’s still warm'.
Nelson takes this wisdom to heart, sharing a recent mishap where he ignored his wife's warnings about financial scams, only to fall victim to one himself. This experience taught him the importance of humility in sobriety and the art of making amends. But it’s not just about saying sorry; it's about doing it the right way, at the right time, and with genuine intent. Nelson also touches on the dangers of living in constant fear and anxiety about the future.
Instead, he emphasizes the need to stay present and grounded. His story serves as a gentle reminder that admitting our mistakes and staying humble are crucial steps in recovery. So, if you’re ready for a blend of laughter and life lessons, this episode is a must-listen.
