It's so important that we have someone, no matter how old we are, to be able to kiss our boo boo.
Remember the simple magic of a mother's kiss on a scraped knee? In this episode of 'A2D - From Addict to Disciple', David Hain takes us back to those comforting moments and explores how losing that emotional support can shape our ability to handle pain and emotions as adults. Hain delves into the emotional void that often follows when those kisses stop, leading to feelings of abandonment and the dangerous path of self-medication.
He discusses how these early experiences can sow the seeds for addiction, as we try to numb the pain that no longer receives the soothing balm of a mother's touch. David emphasizes the importance of finding the courage to seek help and support from friends, coaches, and counselors. He highlights the red flags of addiction and stresses the necessity of having someone who listens, cares, and provides the emotional support we crave.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. By reaching out, we can find the support we need to process our emotions and heal from our past. Tune in for an enlightening discussion on the deep connections between childhood comfort, emotional health, and addiction recovery.
