What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? Episode 311 of 'From Addict to Disciple' takes a hard look at the fear of the unknown that can keep individuals trapped in addiction or prevent them from progressing in recovery. David Hain, the host, uses his expertise to explore how fear impacts various groups—from active addicts who can't imagine life outside their cycle, to functioning addicts who cling to their escapes, and those in rehab who dread reintegrating into society.
With quotes from thinkers like H.P. Lovecraft and Joseph Campbell, David emphasises that the fear of uncertainty can be more daunting than the struggles we know. You'll hear about how the comfort zone is often the enemy of courage and confidence, urging listeners to step out and face risks for the rewards of recovery.

Whether you're someone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode is packed with insights that challenge perceptions and offer hope for change. Tune in next week for part two of this engaging series. Are you ready to face your fears and embrace the unknown?
