About Us
The objective of Pepper Diet Academy (a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization registered in the State of California) is to provide a sober, safe, and nurturing environment — created by and for men recovering from alcoholism and addiction — to connect, grow, and support one another.
We offer learning opportunities that support a deeper understanding of one’s emotional, relational, and sexual well‑being in a respectful, recovery‑aligned environment. The primary purpose of our PDA volunteers is to help men in recovery strengthen their relationship, communication, and intimacy skills while maintaining sobriety.
Our annual retreat is informed by the spiritual and personal-growth principles found in the 12 steps, while remaining independent from any specific 12‑step fellowship or program. These principles guide the way we approach healing, community, and personal development.
