In this heartfelt episode of 'A2D - From Addict to Disciple', David Hain tackles the deep-seated need for love that often drives addiction. Episode 263, titled 'I'd Do Anything to Feel Loved', dives into the emotional feedback received from listeners who resonated with the stories of young women manipulated by Germaine. These women weren't just seeking drugs; they were yearning for love and got ensnared in a web of addiction and exploitation as a result.
David shares poignant comments from listeners, revealing how they blamed themselves for their pimps' control, felt trapped with no escape, and used euphemisms to numb their emotions. He discusses the lingering wounds from childhood abuse and the perpetual cycle of victimisation. Through this raw and honest discussion, David challenges listeners to reflect on their own experiences and offers quotes from notable figures like Nina Simone and Lucille Ball to inspire self-love and resilience.
This episode is a powerful reminder that the journey to freedom begins with recognising one's worth and seeking genuine support.
