When I hear people tell addiction stories, it's rarely like my wife filed for divorce and then I got sober. It's like my wife filed for divorce and blah, blah, blah. It's like a big long list of ingredients that went into getting somebody sober this Halloween, that Halloween I just described. This snow leopard Halloween was my 14th sober Halloween and I loved every second of it.
Imagine taking your little one trick-or-treating, surrounded by the spooky charm of Halloween. In this episode of 'LOL Sober', Nelson H. takes us through a night filled with costumes, candy, and a poignant reflection on his journey from addiction to sobriety. He starts by sharing a delightful moment with his daughter, who dressed up as a snow leopard and had the time of her life.
But as the candy wrappers piled up, so did Nelson's memories of a very different Halloween from his past. Nelson recounts the Halloween of 2008, a night that marked one of the lowest points in his life. Back then, he was struggling with addiction, barely able to participate in family festivities. The contrast between then and now is stark, and Nelson doesn’t shy away from discussing the pain and challenges he faced on his path to recovery.
He opens up about the impact his addiction had on his family and the moment he realized he needed help. This episode isn’t just about the dark times, though. Nelson's story is also filled with humor and hope. He talks about the joy of being present for his family, the support system that helped him through, and the beauty of living a sober life. His candid reflections and humorous anecdotes make this episode both touching and uplifting.
If you’re looking for a story that combines heartfelt moments with a good laugh, this episode of 'LOL Sober' is a must-listen. Nelson's journey is a testament to the power of recovery and the importance of being honest with oneself and loved ones. Tune in to hear how he turned one of his darkest nights into a celebration of life.
