Beyond Recovery means feeling into, and through, your past traumas and creating a life you don’t want to numb out or escape from.
Ever wondered what it's like to go from a rock & roll lifestyle to a sober one? In this episode of 'Beyond Recovery', Matt Gardiner chats with Zack Wisehall, a young man from Leicester, UK, who is celebrating his 500th day of sobriety. Zack opens up about his journey, starting with a childhood marked by divorced parents and early people-pleasing tendencies.
He recalls his first drink at just 12 years old at one of his mom's parties, and how alcohol quickly became a crutch to ease social interactions and quiet his mind. Zack's story is a rollercoaster of highs and lows. From being the life of the party in high school to struggling with the pressures of living a double life as a musician, he shares candidly about the moments that led him to realize he needed a change.
Walking off stage after a sloppy performance was a wake-up call that pushed him towards sobriety. Throughout the episode, Zack emphasizes the importance of facing past traumas and creating a life you don't want to escape from. He discusses how self-help books played a crucial role in his personal development and offers tips for thriving in social situations without alcohol. His journey is filled with relatable moments and practical advice for anyone looking to break free from addiction.
Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the sober lifestyle, Zack's story is sure to inspire and offer hope. Tune in to hear how he transformed his life and found deeper connections and personal growth along the way.
