As people in recovery, we are aware that selfishness, self-centeredness...
Why do we work? Is it just to fill our pockets or is there something deeper at play? In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', host Monty Dale Meyer, better known as the Monty'man, dives into the real purpose behind our daily grind, especially for those on the path to recovery. The discussion opens up with a look at how society often pushes us to see work as a means to accumulate wealth and comfort.
But what if we flipped that perspective? What if work was about sustaining ourselves so we could focus on helping others and doing meaningful things? Monty and his guests explore this shift in mindset, emphasizing that self-centeredness is often at the root of addiction problems. By viewing work as a way to serve a higher purpose and contribute to the community, it becomes more than just a job—it becomes a mission.
The episode is packed with personal stories and practical advice on how to balance work and recovery. The guests share their own experiences of finding fulfillment and purpose in their jobs, which goes beyond mere financial gain. Listeners will find valuable takeaways on how to make their work life a part of their recovery journey.
Whether it’s about finding joy in serving others or simply seeing work as a way to keep oneself grounded, this episode offers plenty of food for thought. As Monty puts it, it's about shifting focus from inward desires to outward contributions. The episode wraps up with a fun closing song, leaving you with a smile and some deep reflections on what work truly means in the grand scheme of life.
If you're curious about how to infuse your daily work with purpose and meaning, especially while navigating recovery, this episode is definitely worth your time.
