Until I realized that alcohol was not my problem, that my problem centered in my mind and in my thinking, I would continue to make the feeble attempt to control my drinking or quit drinking and use other substances, activating new symptoms while continuing to feed the problem that was me.
What if alcohol isn't the real problem for alcoholics? In this thought-provoking episode of Take 12 Recovery Radio, Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as the Monty'man, tackles this very question. Drawing from the wisdom of early AA authors and his own personal journey, Monty'man offers a fresh perspective on what truly lies at the heart of alcoholism.
He dives into the genetic and mental aspects that contribute to addiction, but more importantly, he emphasizes the necessity of a spiritual awakening and the guidance of a higher power. This episode isn't just for those in recovery; it's also a must-listen for family members and anyone wanting to understand the complexities of alcoholism. Through heartfelt stories and practical advice, Monty'man provides a roadmap to recovery that goes beyond merely abstaining from alcohol.
Instead, he advocates for a complete transformation that addresses the root causes of addiction. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that offers hope and actionable steps for anyone touched by alcoholism.
