A2D - From Addict to Disciple A2D -from Addict to Disciple

What's the difference between a do and a relapse? Between a lapse and a relapse? What causes slips? How do we keep a skip from becoming a full blown relapse? What do we do if we're the loved one of someone who tells us they had a slip? These questions and more in today's episode.

This episode is a walkabout through Beautiful Scars Park with my good friend Michael. Join us as we look at the scars we have, the stuff that caused them and how they have shaped our character. I like the quote by Demi Lovato who said "I think scars are like battle wounds - beautiful in a way. They show what you've been through and how strong you are for coming out of it."

Today's episode is a walkabout through Thankful Park. It's more than just an "attitude of gratitude." It's about finding a way to grow a thankful heart. Cicero said it's the greatest virtue. How can we be thankful for the struggle and find our strength? How can we be thankful that thorns have roses rather than complaining about the thorns? Join us on the walkabout as we reflect on these ideas.

This episode is a follow up to episode # 216 entitled One Truth. I got quite a few messages from listeners asking how to find the truth. So here goes. Today we look at ways to find the truth, to experience it and to apply it. We also look at things in us that may be acting as blockages to the truth. It's important that we become aware of the blockage and remove them. Equally important is to understand that the search for the truth is often a community effort, not a solitary act of digging deeper or introspection. I hope you enjoy today's episode. Leo the feedback coming!

Today's episode is a walkabout. Join me as I go through this park. The motivation for this episode was a message from a listener who said "David, I feel like I'm plodding along in recovery with a millstone around my neck." I hope that every listener finds understanding of their millstone and the motivation to take off that millstone and move forward. As Angeli Delgado said "It is far beyond time for you to leave your past behind you. Clinging to the past is a slow poison, killing your present, your future possibilities, holding you in a prison of existence, smothering your life."
