So just because somebody's new and they don't participate, like you- and I would participate necessarily- doesn't mean they're not getting something from it right. You come through the doors to find fellowship. But do you know that when you first come in, or do you just want the pain to stop?
Ever noticed how some folks drift in and out of recovery meetings like they're playing a game of tag? This episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio' tackles this very phenomenon. Hosted by Monty Dale Meyer, also known as the Monty'man, and featuring special guest Brandon T., the discussion dives into why some people can't seem to stick around for long in recovery groups. The conversation isn't just about pointing fingers or making judgments.
Instead, Monty and Brandon emphasize the importance of understanding and empathy. They remind us that everyone has their own battles—health issues, personal struggles, or even new priorities that might keep them away from meetings. Life is unpredictable, and sometimes attending a meeting isn't feasible. The hosts also touch on the resentment some might feel towards the recovery program itself, thinking it's not working for them or is too diluted.
But here's the kicker: just because someone isn't a regular attendee doesn't mean they're not benefiting from the meetings. Monty and Brandon stress the value of welcoming these individuals back with open arms, no questions asked. Creating a supportive and non-judgmental environment can make all the difference for someone struggling to return. So, if you've ever wondered why people come and go in recovery meetings or how you can make your group more inclusive, this episode is a must-listen.
