When I'm in that place on a Friday, I tend to limp into The Weekend with my family, and that's not fair to anybody. So I started doing something whenever I had A Rough Week, where I called it my bow plan. B-o-w. Best of The Week is what I call it.
Ever had one of those weeks where everything feels like a slog? Nelson H. knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of 'LOL Sober', he opens up about his recent rough patch and introduces his unique method for staying positive: the B.O.W. plan. B.O.W. stands for 'Best of the Week', and it's Nelson's way of highlighting the good moments amidst the chaos.
He shares how this simple practice helps him maintain his sobriety and keep a smile on his face, even when life gets tough. Nelson doesn't sugarcoat his struggles. He talks candidly about his irritability and the temptation to reach for something—anything—to make him feel better. But instead of turning to alcohol or drugs, he turns to his B.O.W. list. By focusing on the positive moments, no matter how small, he finds a way to stay grounded and grateful.
One of the key elements of Nelson's approach is restraint. He emphasizes the importance of holding back when he's feeling irritable, choosing to support others rather than lash out. This isn't easy, but it's a skill he's honed over time, and he believes it makes a significant difference in his recovery journey. Nelson encourages listeners to try the B.O.W. plan for themselves.
By taking stock of their assets and expressing gratitude, they can find humor and joy in sobriety, even during the toughest weeks. So if you're looking for a way to boost your spirits and stay on track, this episode might just be what you need.
