Can’t We All Just Get Along? Building Unity in Recovery Fellowships
We all want recovery, and we're in the same boat. I need to be the change I want to see in other people.
Ever wonder why, despite all the recovery fellowships out there, we sometimes struggle to get along? Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as the Monty'man, tackles this very question in the episode 'Can’t We All Just Get Along?' on Take 12 Recovery Radio. With a wealth of experience and a heart full of empathy, Monty delves into the complexities of unity within the recovery community.
He points out that while there are numerous fellowships aimed at addressing various life-controlling issues, achieving harmony among them remains a challenge. The episode digs into the root causes, such as self-centeredness and rigid mindsets, that often prevent us from seeing eye to eye. Monty doesn’t just highlight the problems; he offers a hopeful perspective on how we can bridge these divides. He encourages listeners to embrace diversity and be the change they wish to see.
With practical advice and a closing song 'One Day at a Time' by Joe Walsh, this episode is a call to action for anyone involved in recovery fellowships. It’s about dropping our ego-driven battles and finding common ground for a more inclusive and supportive recovery journey.
