It doesn’t always look like rock bottom. It can look like a high-functioning executive who has a spotless professional record. It can look like the life of the party who stays for the after-party when everyone else goes home. It can look like a college student pulling straight A&#39;s while quietly unraveling in private.</p><p>That’s exactly what this conversation is about.</p><p>In this April Roundtable episode of the Men&#39;s Therapy Podcast, host <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcmazoulay" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Marc Azoulay</a>, himself in recovery from polysubstance use, sits down with three therapists who specialize in addiction recovery: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jackknowsbest/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Jack Lambert</a>, a New York-based therapist trained at the Addiction Institute; <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmichaelzhang/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Dr. Michael Zang</a>, a gambling psychologist and founder of <a href="https://incumental.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Incumental</a>, a gambling recovery support platform; and <a href="https://www.timmullinscounseling.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Tim Mullins</a>, a substance abuse therapist who entered the field after his own long recovery journey and 11 years in Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families (ACA).</p><p>Together, they cover the full landscape: what the <a href="https://menstherapy.online/blog/creating-space-for-change/?utm_source=Podcast&utm_medium=Blog&utm_campaign=Blog" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">signs of addiction</a> actually look like, how isolation and deceit function as warning signals, what role shame vs. guilt plays in the <a href="https://menstherapy.online/podcasts/building-a-community-of-recovery-w-rashad-sutton/?utm_source=Podcast&utm_medium=Blog&utm_campaign=Blog" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">recovery process</a>, how spirituality in addiction recovery fits in (even for men who resist it), and what <a href="https://menstherapy.online/podcasts/man-up-sober-up-w-ryan-penley/?utm_source=Podcast&utm_medium=Blog&utm_campaign=Blog" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">sobriety</a> really feels like in those early, unvarnished months.</p><p>This isn’t a polished, clinical overview.
