And that's when it started to hit me that the cash and prizes is that when I'm sober I'm reengaged in life, I'm enjoying loved ones, I'm giving and receiving love in appropriate ways and I'm giving gifts, receiving gifts, enjoying that and just everything else that comes with being there like actually there.
What if sobriety came with 'cash and prizes'? That's exactly what Nelson H. thought when he first heard the phrase at one of his early 12-step meetings. In this episode of LOL Sober, Nelson humorously recounts his initial confusion, imagining a raffle or lottery for those who stay sober. But as he continued his journey, he discovered that the true 'cash and prizes' were far more meaningful than he ever expected.
Nelson shares heartwarming stories of celebrating alcohol-free holidays with his family, being truly present in his relationships, and responding to life's challenges with newfound maturity. Parenting, for instance, has been a test of his sobriety, but it's also where he sees the most growth. His daughter’s complaints after a long day used to be triggers, but now he handles them with calm and patience—gifts that sobriety has given him.
This episode isn't just about Nelson's journey; it's an invitation to see the real rewards of sobriety in your own life. Whether it's the joy of simple moments or the deep connections you form, these are the true 'cash and prizes' that make the sober life so rich. Tune in for a mix of laughs and life lessons that will leave you inspired to stick with your own journey.
