How many standing ovations do most of us get outside the rooms of recovery? For me personally, it's not that many.
Imagine sitting in a sweltering gym, packed with proud parents and restless kids, as the principal talks about the rarity of applause moments in life. This scene is the springboard for Nelson H.'s latest musings on 'LOL Sober'. In this episode, Nelson reflects on the importance of celebrating sobriety milestones, drawing parallels between his daughter's middle school graduation and the rounds of applause given at 12-step meetings.
Nelson humorously ponders the idea that more people need to experience the encouragement found in these recovery rooms. He acknowledges that while some may argue there's no formal tradition for handing out coins and applause in the 12 steps, the practice has become a cherished part of many meetings. Through his witty storytelling, Nelson underscores how these moments of recognition can be crucial for those on the path to sobriety.
He also shares one of his favorite sobriety jokes, adding a light-hearted touch to a topic that's deeply meaningful. Tune in to hear Nelson clap his ass off for those who've earned it and to find out why celebrating these milestones can make all the difference.
