Someone Who Sees Us Differently

Ever felt judged or misunderstood in your recovery journey? You’re not alone. In this touching episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as the Monty'man, tackles the vital role of compassion in addiction recovery. Drawing from his own experiences and the teachings of the National Association for Christian Recovery, Monty delves into how seeing ourselves differently can spark profound healing.

Monty highlights how faith plays a crucial role in this process, reminding us that God’s compassion is ever-present, even when we feel invisible and rejected.
