What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? In this episode, Monty Dale Meyer, aka the Monty'man, Alicia, and Tom Williams tackle the intriguing theme of 'Vanity, Vanity.' As Monty celebrates his 28th sobriety milestone, the trio dives into a discussion that blends personal milestones with broader societal pressures. They engage in a lively debate about vanity, self-acceptance, and the delicate balance between recovery promises and personal growth.
This isn't just about a facelift or the latest fashion trend; it's about understanding what truly motivates us to change. Are we chasing societal ideals or embracing our authentic selves? The hosts also share listener mail, exploring how the 'promises' of recovery can sometimes lead us astray from the program itself. The episode's light-hearted moments, like the Monty Man's quirky storytime, provide comic relief amidst serious discussions about accountability and the pressure to conform to beauty standards.
With humor and honesty, Monty and his co-hosts encourage listeners to reflect on their motivations for change and consider what it means to be truly comfortable in one's own skin. Join the conversation as they unpack these complex issues with warmth and wit, leaving you pondering your own journey of self-discovery and acceptance. What drives your desire for change? Could it be vanity or something deeper? Tune in to find out.
