I'm essentially 14 years old. Remember, I have a very close-knit relationship with my 14-year-old, and I think it's partly because we have similar personalities, that's one big reason, and partly because we grew up. We basically grew up together.
Imagine celebrating your birthday and feeling like you've lived two lifetimes. Nelson H., the witty mind behind 'LOL Sober', recently turned 45 and takes a humorous yet heartfelt look back at his journey. Reflecting on his 31st birthday, Nelson recalls being at rock bottom, surrounded by well-meaning friends who didn't know the full story of his struggles with addiction.
Fast forward to today, and his birthdays are a stark contrast, filled with genuine joy and appreciation for how far he's come. Nelson's sobriety journey began in 2008, right after the birth of his second daughter. He draws a fascinating parallel between his growth in sobriety and watching his daughter grow up.
'We're basically the same age,' he quips, acknowledging that while he had the outward appearances of an adult back then, he was still learning how to navigate life's challenges. From managing anger and sadness to keeping promises and showing up for others, Nelson candidly shares the ongoing process of becoming a better version of himself. This episode is a blend of humor and deep reflection, offering listeners a relatable and inspiring perspective on sobriety and parenting.
Nelson's stories highlight that personal growth is a continuous journey, filled with both struggles and rewards. Whether you're on your own path to sobriety or supporting someone who is, you'll find Nelson's insights both comforting and motivating. Tune in for a heartfelt exploration of what it means to grow up alongside your children, all while finding joy in the journey.
