Dr. Matthew Durso’s path from addiction to doctorate is both rare and remarkable. In this episode, he joins host Eric Bricker to share how the 12-step recovery model not only saved his life but became the focus of his academic research. Together, they unpack the spiritual and clinical components of lasting recovery, the stigma surrounding substance use disorders, and why every therapist working in the field needs a deeper understanding of mutual aid groups. This candid conversation explores what separates those who survive from those who thrive - and the power of connection, purpose, and transformation.
