Two Sickies Don't Make a Wellie: Love and Sobriety with Nelson H.

I certainly understand the original meaning of it. It's about romantic relationships... But mostly it seemed like the romantic relationship thing was the biggest trip wire for those in early sobriety.
Ever heard the phrase 'two sickies don't make a wellie'? In this episode of 'LOL Sober', Nelson H. unpacks this quirky yet powerful saying, which serves as a cautionary tale for those navigating romantic relationships in early sobriety. Nelson recalls a meeting where someone shared their experience of jumping into a relationship during rehab, only to find it fraught with challenges.
The phrase, which might sound amusing at first, underscores the risks of diving into relationships before fully stabilizing one's own recovery. Nelson extends this concept beyond just romance, emphasizing how it applies to all kinds of relationships. He shares his personal journey of surrounding himself with a mix of long-term sober individuals and those new to sobriety, highlighting the delicate balance needed to maintain healthy connections.
With his signature humor and candid storytelling, Nelson also touches on the role of being a designated driver and the crucial importance of a solid support system. This episode offers a heartfelt and humorous look at the complexities of relationships in sobriety, making it a must-listen for anyone on the recovery path.
