“"Until we admit our powerlessness, why would we seek a power?"”
How do individuals turn their lives around after addiction? In this lively episode of Take 12 Recovery Radio, host Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as the Monty'man, along with guests Dion Miller and Roger Mcdiarmid, tackle the often misunderstood Step One of the Twelve Step program. They chat about the concept of powerlessness in addiction recovery, focusing on admitting defeat and the importance of hitting 'rock bottom'—a term that, as Dion passionately argues, is often misconstrued and can be dangerous.
The conversation is peppered with personal anecdotes and a bit of humour, including a quirky trivia session about odd laws and historical taxes. The episode highlights the need for a spiritual connection and the role of support in recovery, reminding listeners that they're not alone in their struggles. This engaging dialogue not only sheds light on personal experiences but also encourages reflection on one's own journey. So, have you admitted that your life has become unmanageable?
