The solution to our Alcoholism/Addiction is found in the Three Legacies – Recovery, Unity & Service. With these three in place and directed by the hand of our loving creator, we can and do recover.
Ever wondered how the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous can transform lives? In this episode of Take 12 Recovery Radio, Monty Dale Meyer unpacks the Three Legacies of Recovery, Unity, and Service. These core principles are not just abstract ideas; they are practical tools that have guided countless individuals towards a life of sobriety and fulfillment. Monty, affectionately known as the Monty'man, brings his personal touch and years of experience to the discussion, making it both insightful and relatable.
Monty delves into the Twelve Steps and the Big Book, emphasizing how these foundational texts offer a roadmap to recovery. He highlights Bill W.'s poignant words, 'Recovery has given us a second chance to find happiness and freedom', and discusses how the Second Tradition of Alcoholics Anonymous underscores the importance of unity. For Monty, unity is more than just a buzzword; it's a lifeline that holds the fellowship together.
Service is another pillar Monty explores, debunking the myth that it’s limited to mundane tasks like pouring coffee or cleaning up after meetings. Instead, he shares how service can be as simple yet profound as showing up for someone in need. Through his own stories of restored relationships and personal growth, Monty illustrates how these principles have helped him and others reclaim their lives.
He also touches on the critical aspect of maintaining personal anonymity in public forums like the press and films. This episode is a heartfelt invitation to anyone struggling with addiction to step out of the shadows and into a supportive community. If you're looking for practical advice, emotional support, or just a bit of inspiration, Monty's discussion on the Three Legacies offers all that and more.
