    What if recovery isn’t just about quitting—but about rebuilding your masculinity through real accountability, mentorship, and community?

    In this episode, licensed addiction counselor Kevin Peterson shares how 12-step recovery changed his understanding of masculinity—and how men can move from isolation and control to connection, community, and personal growth.

    We dig into why healthy masculinity means showing up, not doing it alone—and why mentorship and accountability change everything for men in recovery. Whether you're in the process, supporting someone who is, or just reflecting on your own masculinity, this conversation brings hard-won insights and honest truth.
