I'm sure I'm minutes away from honking my horn at some bad driver or just crushing six kit Kats from my kid's halloween baskets, because I still think that a good solution when I'm having a rough day or a bad hour or whatever.
What happens when you mix a birthday, a sober anniversary, and a love for sports? You get an episode filled with heartfelt reflections and unexpected humor. In 'The one time I don't mind being the Detroit Lions', Nelson H. takes us on a journey through his recovery story, blending personal anecdotes with his unique brand of humor.
As he reminisces about his past struggles with addiction, Nelson doesn't shy away from the gritty details—overdosing regularly and teetering on the brink of disaster. Yet, there's a light-hearted twist as he compares his journey to the underdog spirit of the Detroit Lions. Nelson shares how he managed to stop everything except for weed and alcohol, which were never as destructive for him as opiates.
He opens up about being not just physically addicted but also a spiritual and emotional wreck. On his birthday, he likes to sit back and feel grateful for the progress he's made since going to rehab in November years ago. A key element in his story is the role of a higher power, which he believes played a divine part in his escape from the clutches of addiction.
Nelson acknowledges that he's far from perfect, joking about how he's just minutes away from honking at a bad driver or devouring his kid's Halloween candy. But amidst the humor, there's a profound sense of gratitude and hope. This episode covers various aspects of addiction and recovery, including the importance of gratitude, staying sober, and the impact of addiction on one's life. It's an emotional rollercoaster that will leave you inspired, informed, and maybe even laughing out loud.
