Though a righteous person fall seven times, they get back up again and relapse, if you're out there, is not your identity.
Relapse is a tough reality in the journey of recovery, but how do we support friends when they stumble? In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer, known as the Monty’man, is joined by Dave, Derek, Denver, and Roger to tackle this sensitive topic head-on. The conversation is raw and heartfelt, offering practical advice and personal stories that shine a light on the emotional toll of relapse on friends and family.
The episode digs into common misconceptions about relapse, stressing the importance of compassion and emotional sobriety. One poignant moment comes when a guest shares, 'Though a righteous person falls seven times, they get back up again.' This powerful reminder that relapse doesn't define someone is a central theme throughout the discussion. Listeners will find valuable insights on what to do—and what to avoid—when a loved one relapses.
The guests share their experiences, highlighting the need for understanding and support rather than judgment. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers guidance and encouragement to navigate these challenging moments. Tune in to hear how compassion can be your greatest tool in helping friends find their way back to sobriety. And don't miss the closing song, 'Prodigal' by Stephanie Haavik, which beautifully encapsulates the episode's message of hope and resilience.
