Recovery is less about drinking and using and more about life change and a spiritual healing.
Feeling like the lines between right and wrong are getting blurrier by the day? In this eye-opening episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer, known to many as the Monty'man, takes a deep dive into the contentious subject of absolutes in recovery, life, and morality. Titled 'Pass the Potatoes', this episode isn't afraid to tackle the tough questions: Have we gone too far in normalizing wrong behaviors?
How does this societal shift impact those on the road to recovery? And what role does faith play in all of this? Monty doesn't shy away from controversy. He questions whether the faith community has compromised its values to make people more comfortable, potentially losing its spiritual impact along the way. He also delves into the friction between traditional church teachings and the principles found in recovery groups, challenging listeners to think critically about where they stand.
One of the standout points in this episode is Monty's emphasis on the dangers of compromising in recovery. He argues that normalizing faults just to keep the peace can be detrimental to one's sobriety journey. 'Recovery is less about drinking and using and more about life change and spiritual healing', Monty says, urging listeners to hold fast to their convictions. The episode wraps up with a poignant closing song, 'Before the Separation' by Freebo, which ties together the themes discussed.
Whether you're deep into your recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a thought-provoking perspective that challenges you to reflect on your own beliefs and actions.
