This powerful analogy sets the stage for Episode 204 of the 'A2D - From Addict to Disciple' podcast. In this episode, host David Hain brings together a group of individuals in recovery to unpack the wisdom in Desmond Tutu's quote: 'There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river.
We need to go upstream and find out why they're falling in.' Through heartfelt discussions and personal stories, the group explores the deep-seated issues that often lead to addiction. They emphasize the importance of true connectedness, spiritual growth, and the role of fellowship in healing.

The conversation also touches on managing triggers and the transformative power of a strong spiritual foundation.
