The gremlins were already there before I started drinking, then they multiplied and got bigger and scarier once they got wet.
In this episode of LOL Sober, Nelson takes a comedic yet honest look at the 'gremlins' that lurk within us all, especially when it comes to addiction and sobriety. Using a quirky analogy from the classic film franchise 'Gremlins', Nelson explores how our character defects can multiply and become more troublesome when mixed with alcohol or drugs.
You might find yourself nodding along as he describes how these gremlins existed even before the first drink was poured, and how sobriety is more than just stopping the flow of alcohol—it's about tackling those pesky gremlins head-on. Nelson, under his pen name, shares personal anecdotes that are both entertaining and eye-opening. He recounts how small behaviours like exaggerating stories can escalate into full-blown lying and scamming when influenced by substance abuse.
The gremlins, as he calls them, are those underlying issues that need addressing for true recovery. It's not just about quitting alcohol; it's about shrinking those gremlins and growing as a person. Throughout the episode, Nelson's humour shines through, offering a light-hearted approach to a serious topic. He doesn't shy away from sharing his journey, including the struggles of maintaining sobriety while dealing with life's challenges. His storytelling is engaging and relatable, making you chuckle while pondering your own gremlins.
If you're looking for a podcast that combines laughter with genuine reflection on sobriety, this episode is a must-listen. It’s a reminder that while sobriety may take longer than a movie marathon, the effort to reduce those gremlins is well worth it.
