When I am not honest with you, I'm actually lying to myself
Monty Dale Meyer, better known as the Monty'man, dives deep into the essence of integrity in recovery in this episode of Take 12 Recovery Radio. The discussion starts with a reflection on Ephesians 4:25, highlighting the importance of honesty not just with others, but with oneself. Monty emphasises that integrity isn't just a buzzword; it's a cornerstone of a successful recovery journey. But how do you build it? According to Monty, it begins with proper guidance, mentorship, and discipleship.
Without these, efforts to build a moral structure often end in failure and isolation. He points out that the first step is acknowledging our own shortcomings and being willing to seek help from a higher power. This aligns closely with the first three steps of the Twelve-Step process, which many have found life-changing. Monty also discusses practical ways to find support, whether through church, synagogue, or recovery communities.
He encourages listeners to lean on each other and utilise available resources, including online platforms like Came to Believe Recovery. Monty's engaging and heartfelt delivery makes this episode both informative and inspiring. His call to action is clear: we can't build integrity alone; we need each other for support and guidance. If you're navigating the choppy waters of addiction recovery, this episode offers a lifeline.
Monty's blend of personal anecdotes and spiritual wisdom provides a roadmap for anyone looking to rebuild their life with integrity. So, are you ready to take that first step towards a more honest and fulfilling life?
