Hear it from our friends…
Peter
“I think the biggest thing is that boredom is one of my triggers, and this group has given me a reason to go out and be social again.”
Shane
“I‘m new to my program, and this is a great way to get out and do something fun instead of just going to meetings.”
Karston
“ARO has gotten me involved with the community. Going through sobriety can be lonely and that leads me to relapse, but this has allowed me to make friends and be more involved.”
Will
“I joined ARO because I was self-isolating at home and depressed. I wanted to force myself to get out. There are people who hold me accountable and there is always something to do.”
Madeline
“ARO has been a freedom in action for me. Instead of shutting down, I have the freedom to run with people who understand me. We can lock arms with joy, happiness, and fun. Addiction made my world small and dark and ARO opens it up.”
Julia
“I like the Active Recovery Outreach events because it gives me a safe, fun environment to spend time with my son when I have him for the weekend.”
Rob
“ARO gives people a place to be better in a sober environment. It’s helped me to increase my recovery family and meet more people with the same struggles.”
Brandon
“I joined ARO because there is a sense of duty to our community to offer support and encouragement for those in recovery.”
Jake
“It’s a great way to meet people who are going through recovery and help support each other’s journeys.”
Jenna
“ARO has given me an opportunity for fellowship and it makes it so easy to get out whereas before the depression, anxiety and addiction kept me isolated.”
Michael
“I met Brandon years ago at Bradford, and he asked me if I wanted to go do some fun sh**. We did, and inadvertently, it became a part of my spiritual journey. I was able to do things sober that I had never done before.”
