Episode Overview
- Self-acceptance is crucial for both physical and emotional sobriety.

Self-acceptance means we can shed the extra pressures of the shoulds that constitute our false self.
Self-acceptance can be a tough nut to crack, especially when you're on the journey to recovery. In this episode of Take 12 Recovery Radio, Monty Dale Meyer, better known as the Monty'man, dives deep into this challenging topic. Drawing from Dr. Allen Berger's book, '12 Essential Insights for Emotional Sobriety,' Monty explores the concept of acceptance in two forms: accepting the world as it is and accepting ourselves as we are.
He emphasises that self-acceptance is crucial for anyone battling addiction, as it lays the foundation for both physical and emotional sobriety. Monty discusses how admitting our powerlessness over addiction is just the beginning. True self-acceptance means understanding and embracing all parts of ourselves—the good, the bad, and the ugly. It's about letting go of the need to control everything and accepting life on its own terms. Monty points out that without self-acceptance, real change is impossible.
We can't build a stable life on a shaky foundation of emotional dependence. The episode wraps up with an inspiring song by Bryan Duncan titled 'Things Are Going to Change,' reminding us that while the road to recovery is tough, positive change is always possible. Monty leaves you with a thought-provoking question: Is there something today that you are not accepting about yourself?
Tune in to gain valuable insights and practical advice on how to foster self-acceptance and build a stronger foundation for your recovery journey.
