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.

Most men think happiness is something you stumble into — a feeling that arrives when life finally goes right. But that’s a lie. In this kickoff episode, licensed counselor Erv Lenzy breaks down why happiness isn’t found — it’s constructed. Through the lens of behavioral activation, he explores why so many men feel disconnected from joy, how depression rewires our habits, and why doing happy things is how you become a happier person. Featuring personal stories, science-backed strategies, and a challenge you can try today.
