If you're in your little box and you've been gifted with a new life, don't keep it to yourself. Take it to the streets.
In this enlightening episode of Take 12 Recovery Radio, the Monty Man and Dion Miller dive into the evolving landscape of recovery practices. The focus is on the decline of the Hospital and Institutions segment within Twelve Step fellowships, exploring why there has been a noticeable retreat from actively engaging with alcoholics and addicts outside the confines of traditional meetings.
The hosts discuss the pressing need to take recovery to the streets, emphasizing that remaining within the safe and protected environment of recovery rooms might not be sufficient. Dion Miller, from TrudgingTogether.org and Raw Recovery, shares his insights on the importance of approaching individuals who might never attend a meeting or require support outside formal settings.
He highlights innovative ways to extend help, such as using technology for online meetings, which allow individuals across the globe to connect and share their experiences. The episode touches on the essence of community engagement and social interaction, crucial components often overlooked due to the internet's isolating nature. Monty Man and Dion stress the value of personal outreach, whether it's mowing a neighbor's lawn without expectations or simply inviting someone to join a community activity.
Spiritual growth is another significant theme, particularly through Step 12, where individuals experience a spiritual awakening. The Monty Man encourages listeners not to hoard their blessings but to share them, fostering a supportive and interconnected community. The hosts conclude with a call to action, urging everyone to break out of their comfort zones and engage with the world around them.
This episode is a powerful reminder that recovery is not just about personal healing but also about building bridges and creating a supportive environment for others. As Monty Man says, "If not you, then who?"
