In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Monty Meyer, aka "The Monty Man", from Take 12 Recovery Radio. Monty has been recording podcasts and sharing recovery music since before podcasting was a thing. He has over 20 years of podcasting experience and a couple thousand episodes! Monty shares his extensive journey in podcasting and recovery, discussing the evolution of his show and the impact of the 12-step program. He reflects on his personal experiences with addiction, the challenges faced, and the spiritual awakening that transformed his life. The conversation delves into the nature of addiction, the importance of community support, and the future of recovery advocacy, emphasizing the power of storytelling and connection in the healing process. Monty has over 27 years of sobriety and comes with a wealth of knowledge. He talks about his relationship with God being the #1 most important thing that has made recovery possible. I have friends that have been listening to him for a decade, and it was so cool to have him on the podcast. Do not miss this one!
