In this raw and revealing episode of The Recovery Vow, host Eric Kennedy sits down with Zach and Troyer, two men navigating life, dating, and discipline on the other side of addiction.

Today's episode is unique in that neither of these guys are married, both are rebuilding and in a world where partying was once the norm, they open up about what it means to stay sober, stay focused. Maybe you are listening to this and you are getting back into the dating scene, or you have a child or friend who is walking through this season right now, share this episode with them!

Zach, just a few months into his sobriety, shares how a toxic relationship, a Cowboys game, and a gut decision changed his life. Troyer, nine years sober and once the star of an MTV reality show, reveals how fame, fighting, and fatherhood led him to the brink — and how divine appointments (and one very persistent gym bro) helped him build a new identity.

Together, they unpack what dating looks like in recovery, the lies of the party lifestyle, and how small wins at the gym can lead to big victories in life. If you’ve ever wondered how to build something real after everything’s fallen apart — this episode is for you.
