Ever looked at those sayings on the wall during a recovery meeting and wondered if they really help? In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as the Monty'man, along with Roger, Dave, and Anthony, dive into the world of recovery platitudes. These catchy phrases are meant to offer guidance and inspiration, but do they always hit the mark?
The hosts share their personal takes on which sayings have been beneficial and which ones might be more harmful than helpful. They trace the origins of these phrases and discuss how their meanings have shifted over time. One key point they emphasize is that context matters—what works for one person might not work for another.

Additionally, the episode touches on the benefits of using recovery workbooks to deepen understanding and provide practical strategies for a sober life.
