I like the idea of thinking about it, like instant replay. For some reason. I've been thinking about that a lot lately as I move through The Day Every Day, and it actually helps me in the moment because I'll think to myself now: would I want video of me driving miles per hour in a mile per hour zone played in front of my Year old new driver?
Ever thought about what it would be like if your entire day was recorded? In this episode of 'LOL Sober', Nelson H. brings a fresh perspective to the concept of daily inventory in sobriety by introducing the idea of 'instant replay'.
Inspired by a meeting where someone struggled with the Tenth Step inventory, Nelson shares a clever tip he heard: imagine your day was filmed and think about the parts you'd want to skip if you watched it with someone else. This simple yet powerful idea struck a chord with Nelson, making the often daunting task of self-reflection more manageable and even a bit humorous.
Nelson dives into his own experiences with daily inventory, admitting that while it's beneficial, it can sometimes feel like rubbing his nose in his own mistakes. That's where the 'instant replay' concept comes in handy. By thinking about how his actions would look on camera, Nelson finds himself making better choices in real-time. For instance, would he want footage of him speeding played in front of his new driver? Probably not, so he slows down.
This episode isn't just about self-critique; it's about celebrating small wins and making positive changes on the spot. Nelson humorously reflects on how he hasn't had any days he'd be mortified to see on tape, aside from the occasional embarrassing itch. His light-hearted approach makes the serious work of sobriety feel more accessible and less overwhelming. Tune in to 'LOL Sober' for a mix of laughter and life lessons as Nelson H.
explores how the 'instant replay' idea helps him stay accountable. Whether you're on your own journey to sobriety or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights wrapped in humor.
