Even though that failed, if something new comes along in our life, like a new relationship with our higher power, or we get to steps, there's always the danger of that force in you that was looking for a solution that was perfect, that would always make you feel good. When you feel your sadness, I want to help you feel your joy.
Why has it taken so long for Twelve Step fellowships to grasp that recovery is more than just staying clean and sober? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as the Monty'man, teams up with Dr. Allen Berger to continue unpacking a pivotal letter from Bill Wilson, the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous. Bill called emotional sobriety the 'next frontier' of recovery, and his insights couldn't be more relevant today.
The conversation dives deep into why emotional independence is crucial and how our emotional well-being often hinges too much on external circumstances. Monty and Dr. Berger explore the pitfalls of dependency, control, and manipulation in relationships, offering practical advice on fostering healthy connections. They emphasize that when trouble arises in relationships, it's not a sign of failure but an opportunity for growth and maturity.
Tune in to learn about the formula for unhooking emotional dependency and discover why offering unconditional love is key to genuine recovery. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of emotional sobriety and its vital role in long-term recovery.
