Stay Awake: Monty’man’s Short but Powerful Message on Recovery
Being alert means that we allow ourselves to see and to hear, to use our senses and mind and heart. It means that we pay attention to what is happening inside of us and around us.
How often do we find ourselves drifting through life, numb to our surroundings and emotions? In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as Monty’man, delivers a succinct yet impactful meditorial on the importance of staying alert and awake in the journey of recovery. Drawing inspiration from a passage in Thessalonians, Monty’man urges listeners to embrace awareness and self-control rather than succumbing to the comfort of emotional numbness.
He discusses how the first step towards honesty and genuine recovery is paying attention to our thoughts and feelings. Some may encourage us to 'sleep' through life, but Monty’man emphasizes that true recovery requires us to be fully present, experiencing both the pain and joy that come with it. He encourages listeners to rely on their higher power for the strength needed to remain vigilant.
The episode also touches on the ongoing debate about CBD in recovery, highlighting Exact Nature's all-natural CBD products as a potential aid for those facing challenges like cravings, depression, anxiety, or sleep issues.
