To grieve is to face reality. We face the reality of our losses and, with the support of others, we allow ourselves to feel the pain of that reality. Grief allows us, bit by bit, to move through the pain into new freedom and into peace.
Ever wondered how grief fits into the recovery puzzle? In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as the Montyman, dives deep into the complex world of grief and its essential role in the journey to sobriety. Monty tackles the many faces of loss, from the death of a loved one to mourning the person you once were before addiction took hold.
He emphasizes that recovery is not just about quitting substances; it's also about confronting and grieving past traumas and the havoc addiction wreaked on your life. Monty doesn't shy away from the tough emotions. He encourages listeners to feel their sadness, anger, and longing fully, and to talk and cry about their losses. According to him, these intense feelings are a necessary part of moving out of denial and into a space where true healing can begin.
Monty draws inspiration from his faith, referencing Jesus' own experiences with grief and the Bible's teachings on embracing pain to find peace. Support from others is another cornerstone of Monty's message. He highlights the importance of community and prayer in providing comfort and strength during these challenging times. By sharing his own prayers and offering support, Monty creates a comforting space for listeners who may be navigating their own grief.
Ultimately, this episode serves as a heartfelt reminder that while grief is painful, it is also a crucial part of recovery that can lead to profound healing and transformation. If you're ready to face your losses and find a path to peace, this episode is a must-listen.
