I calmly explained to the kids why I was upset, why it hurt so bad, and they got it.
Ever had one of those days where everything just seems to go wrong? Nelson H. did, and he’s sharing all about it in this episode of 'LOL Sober'. Picture this: a Monday morning filled with kids acting up and pushing every button imaginable. For Nelson, this wasn't just frustrating; it was infuriating. In the past, he would have turned to alcohol or drugs to numb the rage. But now, in his sober life, he had to face it head-on.
Nelson takes us through his emotional rollercoaster, from the boiling anger to the moment he decided to take a drive and cool off. He reflects on how, in sobriety, you can't just escape your feelings; you have to process them. And sometimes, that really sucks. But Nelson didn't stop there. He found a way to calmly explain to his kids why he was so upset, turning a moment of anger into a teaching opportunity.
This episode isn't just about anger; it's about the broader challenges of managing intense emotions in recovery. Nelson discusses the importance of spirituality, community support, and setting boundaries without compromising sobriety. Whether you're struggling with anger or any other difficult emotion, Nelson's candid story offers a relatable and inspiring look at how to navigate these tough moments. Tune in for a mix of humor, honesty, and practical advice on staying sober even when life gets maddening.
