There is in each of us a dangerous temptation toward hypocrisy: to be one thing but to pretend to be something else altogether.
Ever felt frustrated by those who say they're on the recovery path but are secretly still struggling with substance abuse? In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer, also known as the Monty'man, tackles the tricky issue of hypocrisy in the recovery community. He sheds light on the 'great pretenders'—those who claim sobriety but continue to misuse alcohol and drugs behind closed doors.
Monty'man dives into why it's crucial to distinguish between those genuinely battling addiction and those merely putting up a facade. He warns that allowing cynicism to take root can erode our own integrity and urges listeners to focus on their personal journey and self-improvement. Instead of trying to change others, Monty'man suggests leaving that work to a higher power. This episode is a heartfelt and genuine look at maintaining personal integrity while navigating the complexities of recovery.
If you've ever been puzzled or hurt by someone else's dishonesty in recovery, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
