Finding Yourself Behind the Walls 

I've spent most of my life trying to build up an image of myself that I thought other people would want to see or that I wanted them to see, then working to protect that image. Actually being myself and letting other people get to know that person was out of the question.
But in recovery, I've gotten the opportunity to tear down the walls I built around myself so that I can just be the person I am. This makes it possible to form more genuine connections with the people around me, and in today's video, I talk about why doing so has played such an important role in my recovery.
