You know this is so important that when we make ourselves available to help others with their life controlling issues, that we do this open-handedly- that we don't place expectations on them to react in any specific way.
Ever wondered how to genuinely support someone on their recovery journey? In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer, known as the Montyman, takes a heartfelt dive into the chapter 'Working With Others' from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. This isn't just a guide; it's a lifeline for those looking to make a real difference in someone else's recovery without overstepping boundaries.
Montyman emphasizes the importance of being there for others without expecting them to react in any specific way. He walks us through the practical steps of the 12-step program, sharing how making a self-appraisal (4th step), straightening out your past (9th step), and striving to help others (12th step) can be crucial. But it's not all about action; Montyman also highlights the need for setting clear boundaries and understanding that not everyone will be receptive immediately.
This episode is a blend of practical advice and heartfelt encouragement, perfect for anyone involved in the recovery community. Whether you're new to the 12-step program or a seasoned veteran, Montyman's insights offer valuable guidance on how to support others effectively while maintaining your own well-being.
