Humans have a deep longing to belong, to be emotionally bonded with others.
Have you ever felt that deep ache of loneliness, even when surrounded by people? In this episode of Take 12 Recovery Radio, Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as Monty'man, dives into 'The Longing to Belong.' This brief yet impactful Meditorial, sponsored by Curt & Debbie Palmer, spans just 3 to 10 minutes but packs a punch with its faith-based reflections.
Monty'man shares his experiences working with men at a recovery center who grapple with abandonment issues and a fear of intimacy. These struggles often stem from early-life experiences where attempts at closeness led to pain, rejection, or abuse, pushing individuals to isolate themselves for self-protection. However, this isolation only deepens the sense of loneliness and fear. Monty'man reminds us that we all have an inherent need to belong and connect with others.
He emphasizes that God sees our fears and longings and offers comfort and a sense of belonging. By embracing this spiritual connection and allowing ourselves to be part of a community, we can begin to heal and find our place in the world. Whether you're dealing with addiction, codependency, or emotional dependency, this episode offers a heartfelt message of hope and the importance of community in recovery.
Tune in for a dose of inspiration and encouragement on your journey to belonging.
