In this insightful episode of The Shield podcast, host Nichole engages in an open conversation with Brandon Baez, the founder of Active Recovery Outreach. Brandon shares his unique perspective on sobriety, emphasizing that the fun truly begins when individuals embrace a sober lifestyle. Contrary to popular belief, sobriety does not limit one's ability to enjoy life; instead, it opens up a world of opportunities and experiences that were previously unimaginable.
Brandon Baez has developed 'Let's Go Do Sh!t', a vibrant social group dedicated to those in recovery or curious about the recovery process. The initiative encourages participants to live in the moment and engage in various activities such as paintball, hiking, and game nights. The group aims to redefine the concept of recovery, moving beyond traditional meetings to foster a community where connection is paramount.
During the podcast, Nichole and Brandon discuss the vital role that connection plays in overcoming addiction. They highlight the importance of creating supportive environments where individuals can form meaningful relationships and build self-worth. At the heart of Active Recovery Outreach is the belief that the opposite of addiction is connection, and through face-to-face interactions, the group seeks to combat substance use disorders. Brandon Baez also touches upon the notion of inclusivity in the recovery community.
He emphasizes that recovery spaces should be welcoming to everyone, regardless of their past experiences with addiction. By creating an inclusive environment, 'Let's Go Do Sh!t' attracts a diverse group of individuals, all united by a common goal: to enjoy life and support one another in their sober journey. Listeners are encouraged to join the private Facebook group 'Let's Go Do Sh!t', where they can interact with others, participate in events, and maintain anonymity.
