Episode Overview

Real strength is about facing my struggles, leaning on others when I need to, and being honest about my pain.
In episode 260 of 'A2D - From Addict to Disciple', host David Hain invites his friends in recovery from Australia, South Africa, and the US to share their personal experiences. This episode revolves around a powerful question: which phrase resonates most with your journey - 'I felt like I got a death sentence', 'I'm the weakest I've ever been', or 'time to learn what strength is'? Ben kicks off the conversation by sharing his transformative moment on 18th September 2005.
He recalls feeling like he had received a death sentence, was at his weakest, and realised it was time to learn what strength truly meant. His story highlights the importance of faith and ongoing learning in recovery. Charlie reflects on the early days of his recovery, feeling like he was under a death sentence. Despite being suicidal, he found hope through the support of AA, church, and friends who became his family.
His journey illustrates that recovery is possible even in the darkest times. Eddie's turning point came when he understood that real strength wasn't about handling everything alone but about asking for help and facing the truth. His experience underscores the courage it takes to reach out and the power of vulnerability in healing. Dante shares how he felt weakest during his early recovery but found strength through his faith.
He emphasises that true power comes from relying on a higher power and recognising one's limitations. Finally, Freddie recounts his rock bottom moment in 2015 when he attempted suicide. His recovery journey, supported by lyrics from Wynonna Judd's song 'Rock Bottom', reminds us that hitting rock bottom can be a solid foundation for turning life around. This episode is filled with heartfelt stories and valuable lessons about strength, vulnerability, and the power of community in recovery.
