Men’s Health and Father’s Day: A Fresh Start for Dads in Recovery

This article has been reviewed by April Marlowe, MD

Father’s Day isn’t just about grilling and gifts-it’s a powerful reminder to prioritize men’s health, especially for dads on the journey of addiction recovery. June marks both Men’s Health Month and Father’s Day, making it the perfect time to celebrate fathers while highlighting the importance of physical, mental, and emotional wellness156.

Why Men’s Health Matters-Especially in Recovery

Men often face unique pressures to “tough it out,” ignore warning signs, or put their own needs last. But for dads in recovery, taking charge of health is vital-not just for themselves, but for their families. Addiction can take a toll on the body and mind, increasing risks for chronic diseases, mental health struggles, and strained relationships145.

Father’s Day: A Time for Support and Second Chances

This Father’s Day, families can show love by supporting dads’ sobriety and well-being:

• Attend family therapy or support groups together2.
• Offer positive reinforcement for recovery milestones-sometimes a heartfelt card means more than another necktie2.
• Encourage healthy habits: regular check-ups, nutritious meals, and active time together can make a real difference56.
• Give the gift of health-think wellness experiences or sober-friendly gifts that support his journey26.
