There's no law that if you have five good friends, you can't add ten more. Adding people from recovery to the mix balanced out my friendship circle very well.
Ever wondered how social media can impact your journey to sobriety? In this episode of 'LOL Sober', host Nelson H. dives into the complexities of friendships in recovery, especially in the age of Twitter. With Thanksgiving as a backdrop, Nelson reflects on the importance of gratitude and how it intertwines with our sober lives. He shares his thoughts on the supportive and sometimes challenging nature of Twitter, or X, as it's now called.
While 90 percent of the tweets he encounters are uplifting and inspiring, there's a small fraction that can be quite the opposite. Nelson candidly discusses how this online environment can sometimes clash with the principles found in 12-step meetings, where people are more about sharing what works for them rather than dictating what should work for others. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to navigate their social circles—both online and offline—while staying true to their sobriety.
Nelson’s humorous yet insightful approach makes this a must-listen for those who want to balance their social media interactions with their recovery journey. Tune in to learn how to find your tribe and maintain meaningful connections that support your sober lifestyle.
