Taking Recovery on the Road: Nelson H.'s Travel Tales
I really enjoy the different brands and thought processes around recovery that you run into. It's a little bit like when you get to a new place and you try out a local restaurant.
Ever thought about how hitting the road could shake up your recovery routine? Nelson H. has, and in this episode of 'LOL Sober', he shares his travel adventures and how they’ve become a crucial part of his sobriety journey. Picture this: Nelson used to think he could just 'plug back in' to his recovery once he got home from a trip.
But by Day 3 or 4, he'd be slipping into old habits, munching on gas station snacks in lonely hotel rooms. Sound familiar? Well, Nelson decided to change things up. On a recent work trip to Wisconsin, he made it a point to attend local recovery meetings, and the experience was a game-changer. Nelson describes attending meetings in new places like trying out a local restaurant—each one offers a unique flavor and perspective on recovery.
He talks about the importance of staying spiritually connected and broadening your recovery network, even when you're miles away from home. With his signature humor and candid storytelling, Nelson makes you feel like you’re right there with him, navigating the ups and downs of sobriety on the go. So, if you’re looking for some fresh inspiration to keep your recovery journey exciting and fulfilling, this episode is a must-listen.
