If we buy into the belief that real men don't cry, we must lock up an important part of ourselves.
Ever felt like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders but can't let it show? In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', CADC ll Dave Fleming and Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as the Monty'man, tackle a topic that hits close to home for many—acknowledging our emotions. Traditionally, men have been conditioned to hide their feelings, but what happens when this emotional suppression becomes a roadblock to recovery?
Dave and Monty dig deep into the cultural stigma that teaches men to 'man up' and avoid showing vulnerability. They argue that this mindset is not just outdated but harmful to those seeking a healthier, sober life. Through candid discussions and personal anecdotes, they explore how opening up about emotions can lead to personal growth, stronger relationships, and even prevent relapse.
The episode also highlights the role of professionals in providing emotional support and why accountability is crucial in the recovery journey. You'll hear practical advice on dealing with emotional triggers and the transformative power of positive self-talk. As Dave and Monty put it, 'If we buy into the belief that real men don't cry, we must lock up an important part of ourselves'.
Tune in to learn why embracing your emotions might be the key to unlocking a healthier, more fulfilling recovery.
