The steps are there to show me my need for a power. You see, though, I knew God in my head, I did not have him in my heart.
What happens when life throws you into the depths of addiction and emotional turmoil? Monty Meyer, known to many as the Monty'man, has a story that sheds light on this struggle. In this heartfelt episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty, the President and CEO of Take 12 Recovery Radio and KHLT Recovery Broadcasting, opens up about his personal battle with addiction, fueled by years of sexual trauma.
His journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of the Twelve Step process. Monty's story begins in 8th grade when he took his first drink, seeking a sense of belonging. Alcohol seemed to offer a deceptive escape from feeling like an outsider. However, this temporary relief led him down a path that almost claimed his life multiple times.
From working as an insurance agent in Los Angeles to finding himself lost in Oregon, Monty's life was a chaotic blur dominated by addiction. The turning point came with a simple phone call to an old friend, which led him to Teen Challenge and eventually meeting his wife, Marsha. Through the Twelve Step process and the grace of God, Monty found emotional sobriety and began to understand the root of his addiction.
Today, he lives a fulfilling life with his family and continues to inspire others as a recovery radio talk show host. Monty's narrative is one of surrender, acceptance, and discovering love and self-worth in recovery. If you or someone you care about is grappling with addiction, Monty's story offers a beacon of hope. Tune in to hear how he overcame his struggles and found peace through emotional sobriety.
