It's time to stop waiting on the world or the system to change and to take your step toward change. Your donation of any amount could change a life.
Ever wondered why some people seem stuck in their habits while others make bold changes? In this episode of 'A2D - From Addict to Disciple', David Hain unpacks the Stages of Change model by Prochaska and DiClemente, shedding light on the journey from indecision to taking action. Have you ever thought about changing but couldn't take the leap? Or arranged for a loved one to go to rehab only to find they weren't ready? David tackles these tough questions head-on.
He starts by explaining the pre-contemplation stage, where change isn't even on the radar. Next, he moves to contemplation, where the idea of change begins to brew but isn't yet acted upon. David shares practical tips for making small changes in daily life to ease into bigger transformations. The final stage, action, is where real steps towards recovery are taken, such as seeking treatment and community support.
David emphasizes that waiting for external changes won't help; it's about taking that brave step yourself. Tune in to understand these stages better and find out how small steps can lead to significant progress.
