Have you ever wondered about the difference between restoring and rehabilitating your heart during recovery? In this episode of 'A2D - From Addict to Disciple', David Hain dives into this intriguing topic. David, a seasoned International Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor, uses the analogy of fire management to explain the distinction. Rehabilitation focuses on repairing damage and suppressing harmful behaviours, while restoration is about intentionally initiating and accelerating the recovery of your heart's health, integrity, and sustainability.
It's a shift from merely functioning to truly thriving. David also shares a poignant poem by Gregory Williams, 'The Lord's Love', which beautifully illustrates the journey of heart restoration. Through Gregory's words, listeners are prompted to reflect on their own experiences and the love and support they've received along the way. The episode encourages deep introspection with questions like: Do you love yourself unconditionally? Have you experienced miracles in your recovery?
Do you feel safe and protected by your higher power? It's an episode that not only educates but also inspires hope and healing. If you're on a path to recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode is a must-listen. It’s a gentle reminder that restoration is possible, and a restored heart can lead to a truly fulfilling life.
