"If you had actually gotten what you deserved, you'd be dead or in jail"
Nelson H., the voice behind LOL Sober, dives into the quirky yet serious topic of self-pity in sobriety. With a knack for blending humour and hard truths, Nelson explores how self-pity can feel like a comforting bath, tempting us to wallow in what we think we didn't deserve. At a recent meeting, Nelson heard an unforgettable story about a fellow in recovery who lamented not getting what he deserved six months into sobriety. His sponsor's response?
A blunt reminder that if he truly got what he deserved, he might be dead or in jail. It's a stark wake-up call that many in recovery can relate to.

The episode is sprinkled with Nelson's signature humour and relatable metaphors, like comparing self-pity to the office chatterbox you can't avoid.

So, if you're in need of a laugh while contemplating life's serious side, this episode might just be your cup of tea. It offers a unique blend of comedy and contemplation that encourages listeners to rethink what they truly deserve.
