David served in many leadership callings and then as bishop in three different wards before losing his membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, his marriage, and other valued relationships.Now remarried, David is piecing life back together and proving to himself that, as we turn to Jesus Christ, He will bless us abundantly – even in the lowest moments.Recognizing the need many have for support as they go through a loss of membership, David started the blog www.OneSheep.blog?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss. He is also starting an online support group to help others who are trying to stay focused on regaining membership in the Church.If you are interested in joining the group, contact David through the blog or on Instagram at OneSheep.blogDavid is also the author of the book “So I Went Out With This Guy Last Night… a Girls Dating Journal”.SOURCE NOTES:“You mean, your ward has real people in it—ones who are sometimes selfish or self-righteous, unskilled or undependable? I’m so glad! How could it be a real laboratory for practicing gospel principles like patience, long-suffering, charity, and forgiveness if there were no people or situations that would require the use of these principles? The miracle of it all is that we are real people put into an ingenious structure, designed by God, to help us become like him.”                                                    – Virginia H. Pearce “Ward and Branch Families” General Conference Oct 1993 “Because God has hesed for those who have covenanted with Him, He will love them. He will continue to work with them and offer them opportunities to change. He will forgive them when they repent. And should they stray, He will help them find their way back to Him.  Once you and I have made a covenant with God, our relationship with Him becomes much closer than before our covenant. Now we are bound together. Because of our covenant with God, He will never tire in His efforts to help us, and we will never exhaust His merciful patience with us. Each of us has a special place in God’s heart. He has high hopes for us…”                                                                                                  – Russell M.

The Well - My Story by David Higham

Our guest this time is David Higham, founder of The Well, a peer-run alcohol and other drug (AOD) service in the northwest of England. For more than 20 years, David was a habitual heroin user more accustomed to life in prison than the outside world. He joined a 12-step program during his final stay at Her Majesty’s pleasure, and his story since has been one of great achievement. After prison David embarked on a career in the AOD sector, where often he encountered services that offered solutions to problematic drug use but not necessarily its underlying causes, nor the question of what comes next. The Well sought to harness the power of lived experience and social solidarity to offer a community-based, self-sustaining alternative. The organisation now operates across the region, combining peer-led therapeutic programs and interventions with drug-free housing, employment schemes, social enterprise and community groups. Learn more about The Well here. And here's the BBC article mentioned in the intro.  The show is brought to you by the Association of Participating Service Users (APSU), which is a service of the Self Help Addiction Resource Centre (SHARC). APSU is a Victorian consumer body that believes the voices of people with lived experience of AOD issues should be heard and incorporated into service design and delivery.  The views expressed in this podcast are not necessarily the views of APSU or SHARC. Names and identifying details may have been changed for privacy reasons. Music is by dbh. There’s plenty more of it here. And there’ll be more from us. Thanks so much for listening.
