How Recovery Taught Me to Be a Real Man

I didn’t learn how to be a real man from the streets or from trying to look tough.

I learned it in the recovery rooms, building relationships with healthy men who showed me what real strength looks like — accountability, honesty, and showing up even when it’s hard.

A real man doesn’t run from his pain — he faces it, grows through it, and lifts others up along the way.
