Recovery Means More Than Quitting

Recovery Means More Than Quitting

Most guys think getting sober is the finish line — but it’s just the tarp you throw over a broken roof. In this first episode of Unquiet Men, counselor Irv Lenzy breaks down the real work of recovery: how to rebuild your life from the ground up, repair what addiction tore apart, and start acting like the man you’re trying to become.

We’ll talk about:

  • What sobriety really means (and what it doesn’t)

  • The truth about relapse (it’s not failure — it’s feedback)

  • Maslow’s hierarchy as a recovery map

  • How to start fixing the foundation of your life


This is recovery for men who want to stop pretending they're fine and actually get better.
