The poverty of having an absentee dad can lead to inexpressible pain that leads to addiction to numb what words can't express.
Picture this: a group of six men from Australia, South Africa, and the US, all in various stages of recovery, sharing their deepest struggles and triumphs. In this episode of 'A2D - From Addict to Disciple', David Hain brings together these voices to discuss a quote by Mother Teresa: 'We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty'.
This conversation isn't just about addiction; it's about the emotional voids that often lead to it. Each participant opens up about their experiences with feeling unwanted and unloved, touching on moments of deep pain and how they managed to find a path to healing. They share stories that range from absentee parents to personal battles with addiction, highlighting the transformative power of resilience, faith, and community.
