In Episode 31, Dave talks about how a big part of treatment is developing a sense of awareness of oneself. While caught up in the vicious cycle of substance abuse, he underestimated the severity of it. It was only until he was free that he could really see how much he had been hurting the people around him. He decided to turn his life around and started helping people instead, and as of today he has helped treat over 3,000 people.
