When we get to the root cause of our addiction, it's the beginning of life.
Picture a group of men sitting together, each with a story of struggle and hope. In this episode of 'A2D - From Addict to Disciple', David Hain brings together these voices to discuss a powerful statement: 'You never recover until you know what you're recovering from.' The conversation dives deep into the importance of honesty in recovery, admitting you have a problem, and the ghosts of past triggers that haunt the journey.
Ben, one of the men in recovery, shares a poignant insight: 'Once you get to the root cause, if you're blessed enough to survive that long in recovery without a relapse, you start to learn what you were recovering from was something far deeper than what was on the surface.' This episode isn't just about stopping addictive behaviors; it's about understanding the deeper issues that fuel them. Eddie adds another layer by emphasizing that recovery requires a complete lifestyle change.
'Recovery requires changing your whole lifestyle, creating a new environment where the ghosts of the past cannot catch up with you again,' he says. It's a reminder that healing is not just about abstaining from substances but also about creating a life where those substances no longer hold power. Dante offers a spiritual perspective, noting that acknowledging the problem is often driven by a deeper conviction.
'Unless you have a driving force to get better, that really is just conviction from the Holy Spirit. For me, you're not going to get better,' he explains. His words highlight the inner awakening that many experience on their path to recovery. Finally, Charlie talks about the practical side of recovery, stressing the need for the right tools and support. 'With the right tools and support, we can find healing and recovery,' he says.
This episode is a raw and honest look at what it takes to truly recover from addiction. It's about more than just stopping; it's about understanding, changing, and healing from within.
