This episode features Kevin R. Davis, a 56-year-old model who will celebrate seven and a half years of recovery from crystal meth addiction next month. Kevin's journey began with 20 years of use, initially to manage chronic pain and undiagnosed ADHD, which later became intertwined with his sexuality and intimacy. His path to recovery started with a 50-day jail sentence for possession, followed by rehabilitation in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where he rebuilt his life from the ground up after experiencing homelessness and unemployment.

About a year into recovery, Kevin was approached by a photographer for romance novel cover work—an opportunity he almost declined due to deep-seated insecurities. Despite his fears, he stepped outside his comfort zone and has since appeared on over 230 romance book covers, developed a following of 201,000 on Instagram, and is now breaking into fashion modeling with an upcoming appearance at Atlanta Fashion Week. Kevin openly shares his recovery story on social media, transforming what was once a source of shame into a platform for hope. He discusses the challenges of sexual reintegration after years of chemsex use, including a seven-year period of celibacy, and emphasizes the importance of maintaining a "rock bottom perspective"—staying grateful for progress while being intentional about triggers and recovery boundaries. His message: life after addiction can be better than you ever imagined.
