Ever catch yourself wondering why you do the things you do, especially in your journey to sobriety? In this episode of 'LOL Sober', Nelson H. takes a deep dive into the tricky terrain of motives. Are we doing the right thing for the right reasons, or is there a hidden agenda lurking beneath our good deeds?

Nelson's humor and raw honesty make this a compelling listen, offering both laughter and deep reflection. If you're curious about how your motives impact your recovery or just want to hear an honest take on the subject, this episode is for you.
