What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? Episode 327 of 'A2D - From Addict to Disciple' takes listeners on a reflective journey through Change Park, specifically down the 'Can You See I've Changed?' trail. David Hain, an expert in addiction recovery, shares heartfelt journal entries from individuals who have battled addiction and are navigating the messy middle of change. These personal stories reveal the emotional tug-of-war between the changed individual and their unchanged family and friends.
The episode cleverly uses quotes from famous figures like Robin Sharma, Rumi, and Leo Tolstoy to frame the discussion about personal transformation. Listeners hear from those who feel stuck in the 'messy middle' of change, those who have found it necessary to distance themselves from toxic environments, and those who have emerged on the other side, embracing their new selves.
David encourages listeners to consider the burden of carrying others' perceptions and how it can lead back to old habits if not released. The key takeaway is that change must be for oneself, not for the validation of others. This episode is both an emotional rollercoaster and a motivational call to action for anyone struggling with acceptance from those around them. Are you ready to walk your own 'Can You See I've Changed?' trail?
