Enjoying the connections I’ve made

Video transcript:

Hi. When I first came to restart, I believed that I would spend a lot of time discussing my addiction and why I was here. That didn’t happen. I spent the majority of my time here discovering why I did what I did and being out in nature.  I realized that I tied my self-worth to my achievements, unfairly victimized myself, and never learned to assert myself to act like my feelings were valid. I had the mindset coming in of a disdain towards social connections, but I have come to enjoy the connections I’ve made with my friends. I owe a lot of gratitude to you all and you will continue to be an important part of my life.
