Overcoming Addiction Together | Ande Chileshe

Ande provides an inspirational and practical address on the nature of addiction, emphasizing that everyone is born with a divine purpose. Ande argues that addictions are a cunning scheme to distract individuals from fulfilling their God-given potential, often manifesting as a negative compulsive behavior that offers a false sense of relief. Challenging common stereotypes, the presentation highlights the prevalence of functional addiction even among church leaders and professionals, demonstrating that it's a widespread societal issue, not limited to marginalized individuals. Ande shares a personal story of overcoming pornography addiction to illustrate the importance of vulnerability and community support in recovery, comparing the journey to finding a lost balloon—easier with collective help than alone. Ultimately, Ande promotes openness, accountability, and mutual support within a community as essential tools for breaking free from addiction and realigning with one's intended purpose.
