Facing the Wall: Corey Winfield on Overcoming Recovery Hurdles

Man, if you're doing the things you're supposed to be doing, you're not going to have time to go get messed up, you're not going to have time to go do drugs, you're not going to have time to drink.

He dives into the temptations to drink and the critical role of honesty in staying sober.

Corey highlights how surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals can make all the difference.

Towards the end, Corey gets excited about the upcoming Recovery Zone Rally, an event designed to bring together people in recovery and their loved ones.

It's a day to celebrate victories, big and small, and to connect with others who understand the path you're on.
