Growing Up in Recovery: Embracing Honesty and Personal Growth
Growing up is hard work. The reason for this, as this text suggests, is that growing up is closely connected with learning to speak the truth in love. Honesty is a central dynamic of growth and recovery.
Have you ever wondered what it truly means to grow up in the context of addiction recovery? In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as the Monty'man, dives into the profound journey of personal growth and honesty. Drawing inspiration from Ephesians 4:14-15, Monty highlights the importance of maturing not just physically but emotionally and spiritually as well.
He emphasizes that growth is a vital part of recovery, as crucial as recognizing our powerlessness and seeking help from a Higher Power. Monty doesn't shy away from discussing the tough parts of this journey, particularly the role of honesty. He argues that being truthful, though challenging, can lead to transformative changes in relationships and a deeper connection with God.
This episode also features insights from Dale and Juanita Ryan and introduces 'The Victory Report', a new segment showcasing inspiring stories from Teen Challenge of Arizona.
