"You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending."
Imagine you're driving down a highway with three lanes, each representing a different pace in life. In this episode of 'A2D - From Addict to Disciple', David Hain explores the idea of moving on from addiction and past traumas. The focus isn't just on leaving the past behind but on embracing the future with a sense of direction and purpose. Through anecdotes and quotes from thinkers like C.S.
Lewis and Ernest Hemingway, the episode challenges you to reflect on your journey. Are you cruising in the slow lane, cautious in the middle, or racing in the fast lane? The analogy of driving lanes is used to discuss how individuals approach their recovery and closure. The conversation dives into the importance of making peace with past wounds and understanding what truly matters as you move forward.
Hain also touches on emotional attachments, unresolved feelings, and how these can haunt you if not addressed. With references to pop culture, like Gwen Stefani's song 'Swallow My Tears', the episode reminds you that running away from your past isn't the solution. It's about recognising what was real, processing it, and moving on as a whole and healed person. As you listen, you'll find yourself pondering which lane you live in and how that affects your recovery journey.
Whether you're a settler or a voyager, it's time to let go of the ghosts and embrace a future full of possibilities.
