I can own something without it owning me.
Ever had a moment that made you cringe so hard you wanted to disappear? Nelson H., the host of 'LOL Sober', knows that feeling all too well. In this episode, he tackles the heavy topic of shame, a common yet often unspoken struggle in the journey to sobriety. Nelson doesn't shy away from sharing his own raw and real experiences, including the heart-wrenching memories of being intoxicated during the births of his first two daughters.
It's a gut-punch moment that many in recovery can relate to. Nelson's candidness is both refreshing and comforting as he discusses how he's managed to move past these feelings of shame. He talks about the importance of the 12-step program in helping him address his resentments and character flaws. Making amends has been a crucial part of his healing process, allowing him to mend broken relationships and lift some of the burdens off his shoulders.
But it's not all about self-reflection and apologies. Nelson also emphasizes the value of professional help, whether it's therapy or counseling, in dealing with deep-seated shame. He encourages listeners to be kind to themselves and not dwell too much on past mistakes. The road to sobriety is tough, but it doesn't have to be walked alone.
With his usual mix of humor and heartfelt honesty, Nelson inspires listeners to confront their own shame and embrace the freedom that comes with self-acceptance. If you're looking for a podcast episode that offers both a good laugh and some serious food for thought, this one's for you.
