I lie to myself most likely because I'm afraid of the truth and the consequences.
Why do we lie to ourselves? It's a question that many of us have asked, especially on the path to recovery. In this compelling episode of Take 12 Recovery Radio's 'Road to Redemption', multi Dove Award winner Bryan Duncan and the Monty'man dig deep into the reasons behind self-deception. Bryan, with his rich background in music and recovery, brings a unique perspective to the table, sharing his own struggles and triumphs.
The Monty'man, a fellow Twelve Stepper, complements the conversation with his own insights and reflections. One of the standout themes is the importance of honesty in recovery. Bryan candidly admits, 'I lie to myself most likely because I'm afraid of the truth and the consequences'. This fear is a common hurdle but overcoming it is crucial for healing.
The duo discusses how honesty and self-awareness can pave the way for a deeper understanding of oneself and ultimately, a more fulfilling life. Forgiveness also takes center stage in this episode. Bryan opens up about his journey towards forgiveness and the role humility has played in his recovery. He shares, 'Even humility takes a little self-confidence. I tell myself: I don't deserve to be forgiven and I'm not worthy to be redeemed.
But turned inside out, it's actually arrogance, because I don't want to need salvation at all'. This powerful revelation highlights how forgiveness can transform our lives, leading to greater peace and freedom. Community and connection are other key elements discussed. Both hosts emphasize how vital it is to find support and encouragement from others on the journey to redemption. Their personal anecdotes underscore the transformative power of being part of a supportive community.
'Road to Redemption' serves as a poignant reminder that recovery is a journey requiring courage, honesty, and a willingness to face uncomfortable truths. But it's also a journey filled with hope, healing, and the incredible power of forgiveness. Tune in to this episode for an honest, heartfelt conversation that might just change the way you see your own recovery journey.
