Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? Episode 320 of 'A2D - From Addict to Disciple' with David Hain tackles the notion that recovery isn't a quick transaction but rather a lifelong transition. David challenges the idea that recovery can be treated like a business deal, where you close the sale and move on. Instead, he argues that recovery is about building lasting relationships and making a commitment to the journey.
He draws parallels between business transactions and the recovery process, emphasising that it's not about counting days in rehab or checking off milestones. Rather, it's about transforming your beliefs and values, embracing the journey without a finish line in sight. David shares insights into the importance of self-care, letting go of past chaos, and embracing new beginnings. He paints a vivid picture of recovery as a rebranding of oneself, akin to how businesses reinvent themselves when things have gone stale.
The episode encourages listeners to focus on the process, not just the destination, and to build a lifestyle of recovery that's sustainable and fulfilling. With humour and authenticity, David invites you to reflect on your own recovery journey and consider what truly matters in this transformative process. Are you ready to embrace the bumpy path ahead?
