Jesse McCraw Participates in the Shatterproof Challenge[MUSIC PLAYING] [WIND RUSHING BY] [MUSIC PLAYING] Shatterproof to me is an opportunity to bring awareness to addiction, and it has given me an opportunity to proclaim my recovery.

One of his tips states “culture is everything.” When I read this, I immediately thought of BRC and the culture of recovery that was established so long ago and remains through to this day. Not only in the daily programming, residents, alumni, and families of alumni but in […]
