When I lifted my voice into the heavens and cried: I surrender my will and my life over to you, god, to do with me and to use me as you will. It was then that the slow process of sanctification would take place in my life and I began to change.
Ever feel like you're stuck in a cycle of negative emotions that you just can't shake? In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer, known affectionately as the Montyman, shares his thoughts on how resentment, offense, and bitterness can be traps leading to addiction. These feelings, which he calls 'the bait of destruction', often catch us off guard and can spiral into deeper issues if left unchecked.
Montyman talks about how allowing others to control our emotions can lead us down a dark path, one where resentment becomes a major roadblock to recovery. He explains that these negative emotions don't just affect our mental health; they can wreak havoc on our physical well-being and relationships too. The abuse of alcohol and drugs is often just a symptom of a deeper spiritual problem. According to Montyman, the real solution lies in spiritual alignment.
By connecting with a higher power and surrendering our will, we can start to heal from the inside out. This isn't an overnight fix, but a journey of ongoing spiritual growth. Montyman shares his personal experience of hitting rock bottom and realizing he needed a power greater than himself to find true recovery. He emphasizes that it wasn't more education or talent that he needed, but a genuine surrender to a higher power.
This surrender helped him see others in a new light, making it easier to let go of resentments and live a more peaceful life. If you're struggling with addiction or know someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and hope for starting your own journey to recovery.
