Unpacking Step One: The Foundation of Twelve Step Recovery
Why is Step One so crucial in the Twelve Step recovery process? In this engaging episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer, better known as the Monty'man, along with co-hosts Toni, Denver, and Marv, dive deep into the heart of Alcoholics Anonymous' First Step. They discuss what it truly means to be powerless over addiction and how life becomes unmanageable as a result.
This isn't just about abstaining from substances; it's about understanding the deeper layers of addiction and the choices that come with it. Is it a matter of willpower, or is there more at play? The hosts tackle these questions head-on, bringing clarity to a topic that often feels overwhelming.
Plus, there's a fun twist with a new Sound Bite Game where listeners can win prizes, and the episode wraps up with the thought-provoking song 'The Shrink and the Drunk' by Michael Purington. If you're looking to understand the foundation of the Twelve Step model or need a bit of encouragement on your recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen.
