“The journey from addiction is not a straight line, but rather a path that may take you through dark places and moments of anxiety. However, vulnerability, humility, and seeking help can lead to finding freedom from emotional wounds.”
What happens when you find yourself lost in a dark forest, struggling to see a way out? In this episode of 'A2D - From Addict to Disciple', host David Hain dives into the harrowing journey of one group member, Dante, as he battles pornography addiction. Drawing parallels with the famous allegorical poem 'Dante's Inferno', this episode sheds light on the emotional turmoil and contradictions that addiction brings.

They explore the importance of being open with those who care about you, and how sharing your struggles can be a powerful step toward healing.
