Scratching The Surface of Step Four

Ever wondered why Step Four is such a big deal in addiction recovery? This episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio' dives right into it. Hosted by Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as the Monty'man, and joined by co-hosts Toni J., Denver W., and Marv R., this discussion gets real about the nitty-gritty of Step Four. They chat about the importance of spirituality, the role of mentorship, and how resentment can trip you up on your path to sobriety.

The episode isn't all heavy stuff, though. You'll also get a dose of humor with segments like 'Stupid Criminals' and some light-hearted chatter about moon pies and suckers. But it’s not just laughs and lessons; the hosts also tackle serious issues like corrupt treatment programs and forced labor in recovery centers. Monty emphasizes how crucial it is to have a mentor or sponsor to guide you through Steps Three and Four, sharing personal stories that make the advice hit home.

Toni J. points out that resentment is often a major reason for relapse, making Step Four's focus on addressing these feelings even more critical. The episode wraps up with a song, 'Banking On Forever' by Dave Aaron, leaving you with a mix of inspiration and practical advice. Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this journey for a while, this episode offers valuable insights and a bit of fun to keep you going.
