So bulldozer recovery is the same kind of thing where maybe we're making recovery. We're going to talk about that kind of thing Today.
Have we started to pave the road to recovery too smoothly? In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer, also known as the Monty'man, digs into the idea of 'bulldozer recovery'. This concept suggests that by making the recovery process too easy and cushioning newcomers from the consequences of their actions, we might be doing more harm than good. Monty raises some provocative questions: Are we clearing away too many obstacles?
Are medication-assisted programs like Suboxone merely swapping one dependency for another? And what about the importance of experiencing the full weight of one's actions in recovery? This episode doesn't shy away from tough topics. Monty also highlights the role of positive affirmation and sponsorship in holding individuals accountable while guiding them through their journey. With a closing song, 'Winos, Whiners and Winners' by Michael and the Messengers, this episode is a compelling mix of hard truths and heartfelt guidance.
Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, this conversation will make you rethink how we approach sobriety.
