About this episode
In this episode of The Shield, Nichole has a no-holds-barred conversation with Brandon Baez, founder of Active Recovery Outreach. Brandon Baez prides his work on recognizing that recovery is more than just abstaining from substances but fostering community support. He created Lets Go Do Sh!t, a social group for those in recovery or recovery curious.
This group emphasizes living in the moment and that a life of sobriety goes beyond the walls of a recovery meeting. The group focuses on engaging with life - from paint ball to bowling. No matter the steps you follow, or your path to recovery, Active Recovery Outreach reduces stigma, fosters connection, and most importantly has fun! Together, Brandon and Nichole discuss his personal path to recovery, building relationships, and bringing the excitement to life without substance use.
