Meetings Matter: Nelson H. on the Role of Community in Recovery
Meeting makers make it, and I have found it to be true. It's at least true for me.
Picture this: you've been on the road to sobriety for a while, and you're doing well. But something's missing, and you can't quite put your finger on it. Enter Nelson H., the host of 'LOL Sober', who shares his personal journey and insights on why attending meetings can be a game-changer in recovery.
Drawing from his experience and the 'Just for Today' daily readings, Nelson dives into the slogan 'Meeting Makers Make It' and why it resonates so deeply with him. He talks about how attending 4-5 meetings a week keeps him patient, understanding, and spiritually fit. On the flip side, when he skips meetings, he notices a decline in his emotional and spiritual well-being. Nelson doesn't just preach; he practices what he preaches.
With over a decade of sobriety under his belt, he shares how meetings have been a cornerstone of his recovery. He discusses the sense of community, the power of prayer, and the importance of remembering where you come from. Zoom meetings, in particular, have been a lifeline, offering flexibility and a sense of connection that’s crucial for anyone on this journey.
If you're navigating your own path to sobriety or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Nelson's reflections remind us that recovery isn't just about staying sober; it's about thriving in a supportive community. So, if you're looking to deepen your understanding of the role meetings play in recovery, this episode of 'LOL Sober' is a must-listen.
