Selective Honesty: A Hidden Pitfall in Recovery

Episode Overview

  • Selective honesty can hinder genuine recovery and healing.
  • Challenging old pride-rooted ideas is crucial for progress in recovery.
  • Embracing humility and openness fosters true healing and serenity.
  • Confronting false pride is essential for genuine recovery.
  • Openness and communication diminish the power of false pride.
The more open and honest we are, the more we do heal. The more open we are, the more we are able to communicate. And the more we share what we are ashamed of, the less power and control our false pride has in our life and the more serenity we experience.

In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as the Monty'man, takes a closer look at this sneaky trap.

Monty dives into how holding onto old pride-rooted ideas and not being fully transparent can keep you from true healing and serenity. He shares real-life examples and practical advice on how to confront false pride and embrace humility. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into the importance of honesty in the journey to sobriety.
Tune in for a candid discussion that will make you rethink the little white lies you tell yourself.
