In a continuation of The 12 Steps series, I examine the concept, derived from the 12 traditions of AA, of conducting a moral inventory in order to create a more truthful version of ourselves...for us.

It can be hard to admit the wrongs we have done to others, but it can even more difficult to admit the wrongs that we have done to ourselves. Conducting a moral inventory just may the way for you to do that and begin living a more forving, peaceful life.

NOTE: I am not a doctor or a therapist. This concept of using The 12 Steps to enrich our lives is my personal belief based on my experience and research. If you believe that you may have an addiction, emotional or mental health issue, PLEASE consult your physician or a professional.

Have you ever felt like your life was unmanageable?

We're supposed to be wiser as we get older but even at our age, we're making the same mistakes, and we have the same problems we've had throughout our lives.

I might have an answer for you, and it can be found, believe it or not, in The 12 Steps used in programs like Alcoholics Anonymous. Simply put, if we apply these same ideals to our daily lives, even if we're not struggling with addiction, it is my belief that we can overcome some of the things that plague us in life.

In this episode, we ask the question, "Could it be me?".

In this episode, Bill Monty explores the concept from Alcoholics Anonymous of developing a “God of your understanding.” Rather than prescribing a specific religious belief, this idea invites individuals to form their own spiritual understanding of a higher power.

Bill discusses how this concept can help people—especially as they age—develop serenity, humility, and compassion, while letting go of the need to control everything in life. The episode examines how spirituality, regardless of religious affiliation, can bring inner peace, purpose, and a stronger desire to help others. The conversation also looks at why people often think more deeply about spirituality and the afterlife later in life, and how embracing a personal understanding of a higher power can lead to greater acceptance and happiness. Listeners of all ages will find insights into living a calmer, more meaningful life.

Ever look back and wonder how you got here so quickly? At 67, I've been reflecting on the swift passage of time and the insights that come with it. In this episode of "Bill Monty's Guide for Getting Older," I share a personal revelation that's resonated deeply with me: understanding our parents as real people.
Remember those youthful days when you felt invincible, and you believed that your parents were too? Age brings a shift in perspective, a more cautious mindset, and a deeper appreciation for the intricacies of life.
Join me as I explore the lesson of seeing our parents in a new light—beyond the roles we assigned them as kids. They, too, had dreams, fears, and flaws, and recognizing this can transform our relationships with them. I open up about my personal journey and invite you to reflect on yours. Let's connect—whether it's through email or text—and share our stories as we navigate the complex, rewarding journey of aging together.
This episode is dedicated to Howard Lurie. R.I.P., Howie, You did good.
