In this episode of 'A2D - From Addict to Disciple', David Hain takes a refreshing approach to the journey of recovery, drawing inspiration from Rory Vaden's book 'Take the Stairs: 7 Steps to Achieving True Success'. David explores three compelling quotes that emphasise choosing the challenging path over the tempting shortcuts in recovery.
With light-hearted yet profound insights, he likens recovery to climbing stairs rather than taking an escalator, urging you to embrace the hard work that leads to true transformation. David shares his thoughts on ignoring distractions, mastering critical tasks, and managing everyday details – all crucial steps for anyone seeking success in their recovery journey. He highlights the importance of perpetual discipline, reminding you that growth lies in the journey itself.
This isn't a sprint but a marathon where each day brings you closer to your goals. The episode encourages adopting new habits that support your recovery and adapting to life's unpredictable challenges. By choosing the hard right over the easy wrong, David advocates for consistency in doing the right thing, even when no one's watching.
His reflections are peppered with motivational quotes from Zig Ziglar and Martin Luther King Jr., reinforcing the idea that recovery is about taking one step at a time, even if the entire staircase isn't visible. This episode is a gentle reminder that while shortcuts may seem appealing, they won't lead you to where you truly want to be.
So, if you're looking for encouragement and practical wisdom on staying strong in recovery, 'Take the Stairs' offers valuable perspectives that might just be what you need.
