I can slide into almost any bad mood, whatever it is...and that’s a pretty shitty way to go through life honestly, and it just usually means my spirituality is pretty flimsy and susceptible to melting down.
Imagine this: one of Nelson H.'s kids is having a day where everyone, including him, is on her bad side. In this episode of 'LOL Sober', Nelson dives into a personal story about how he dealt with his daughter's foul mood. Instead of taking the high road, he admits he chose to match her negative energy, turning a simple disagreement into a full-blown sniping match.
It's a raw and honest look at how old habits can creep back in, even when you're committed to sobriety. Nelson reflects on his past, where he'd either lash out or retreat when faced with someone else's anger. He shares how sobriety hasn't completely erased these tendencies but has given him the tools to recognize and address them.
This episode isn't just about Nelson's struggle; it's a relatable tale for anyone who's ever found themselves caught in a loved one's emotional storm. He emphasizes the importance of not letting pride and ego dictate reactions. Instead, he suggests taking a step back to understand what's really bothering the other person. By doing so, you can maintain your own peace and foster healthier relationships.
Tune in for a candid conversation that blends humor with heartfelt advice, reminding us all that sobriety is a journey filled with ups and downs.
