We are talking about people today that are so sick. So if you take the big book and you open it up, there's slogans and slangs and things that are gonna mean something different today than they did back then.
Ever wondered if having a sponsor is really necessary in your recovery journey? Monty Dale Meyer, the voice behind 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', dives into this hot topic. The episode challenges the idea that just reading the Big Book is enough to stay sober. Instead, Monty highlights the importance of having a sponsor or mentor—someone who's been through it and can offer real-life guidance. He draws from the A.A.
Sponsorship Pamphlet, pointing out that the Big Book references alcoholics helping each other 123 times in its first 88 pages. Monty doesn't just talk theory; he shares candid stories and personal experiences that bring the topic to life. Whether you call it sponsorship, mentorship, or simply a trusted friend, the message is clear: recovery is a team effort. Tune in to hear why Monty believes that walking the Twelve Step process alone is not just tough but also irresponsible.
If you're navigating sobriety or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement to seek out that crucial support.
