Finding Strength: Honesty and Self-Awareness in Recovery
Tough times they never last, though tough people do.
Ever feel like you're just skimming the surface of your recovery journey? In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as the Monty'man, dives deep into the themes of honesty and self-awareness. Through a blend of faith-based meditation and editorial, Monty'man sheds light on the significance of being truly alert and self-controlled when facing life's hurdles. He stresses the need to toughen up and steer clear of avoidance tactics like denial and distraction.
Instead, he advocates for a mindful approach where you pay close attention to your thoughts, feelings, and surroundings. It's only through this heightened awareness that genuine serenity can be achieved, rather than through escapism. Monty'man also touches on the often-overlooked importance of quality sleep in recovery, sharing his personal battle with sleep apnea and recommending Exact Nature's all-natural CBD products as a potential aid.
He further emphasizes the role of admitting dependence on a higher power and welcoming God into our lives. This admission, he argues, can transform our weaknesses into strengths, helping us overcome addiction. Wrapping up with a powerful reminder that tough times never last, but tough people do, Monty'man encourages listeners to walk through their days with purpose. By embracing honesty and self-awareness, and facing challenges head-on, you can find the strength and serenity you seek.
