For me, some of that stuff you know, even stuff I've dealt with, will pop up, sometimes at unexpected moments.
What happens when someone fresh out of the prison system finds hope and community in recovery? This episode of 'Get In The Herd' takes a deep dive into the life of John, a newcomer to the recovery scene, who was introduced to The McShin Foundation through their carceral outreach program.

He talks candidly about the sense of belonging and brotherhood he's discovered at The McShin Foundation, which has been crucial in his journey to sobriety. The conversation touches on various aspects of recovery, including the importance of multiple pathways and the unique challenges faced by those coming out of incarceration.

The discussion provides valuable insights into how different recovery paths can work for different people and emphasizes the need for more resources and support within the prison system to address addiction effectively.
