Jason Degraw: Addicts Fighting Back(AFB)

Jason Degraw is the founder of a nonprofit organization called Addicts Fighting Back (AFB). While he was in treatment in 2019, he had the idea of creating a social organization for individuals struggling with substance use. When he got out, he recognized some of the struggle people have when transitioning back to regular life and wanted to help fill that need. Jason is now four years sober and loving his life in recovery.

Addicts give back through life-changing experiences to find recovery—a non-profit organization. AFB focuses on service work, community connections, and group activities. Addicts Fighting Back has three weekly ALL Pathways to Recovery Meetings—one in Utah County, one in Salt Lake County, and one in Tooele. AFB is a social organization that gives individuals an opportunity to have fun in a safe environment while building connections with each other and growing their support network.
