I want to put some good in the world before I go, I want to put as much good out there as I can now, not just to make up for the evils I've done, but because it feels right.
Imagine finding a path to sobriety through the roll of a dice and the magic of fantasy worlds. In this episode of 'Many Paths to Sobriety', we meet 'Big Daddy' Zack, a man whose journey from addiction and turmoil to hope and healing is as unique as it is inspiring. Zack's life wasn't always filled with the camaraderie and creativity he now enjoys. He battled a rough childhood and a life marred by addiction and violence.
But amidst the chaos, he discovered solace in the pages of fantasy books and the immersive world of Dungeons & Dragons. These passions didn't just provide an escape; they became a lifeline. Zack's story takes a fascinating turn when he decides to channel his love for gaming into something bigger. He founded the Quest Club Gamers Association, a non-profit dedicated to helping at-risk and underprivileged teens find their footing through gaming.
It's a community where rolling a 20-sided die can be a metaphor for taking control of one's destiny. Throughout the episode, Zack opens up about his journey, sharing how he found love, started a family, and overcame physical health challenges. His narrative is peppered with moments of vulnerability and triumph, illustrating the power of community and the importance of putting good into the world.
You'll hear how Zack built a new tribe of supportive individuals who helped him find meaning and purpose. His resilience and determination shine through, offering valuable insights into the many paths to sobriety. If you're looking for a story that combines the fantastical with the deeply personal, Zack's journey is one you won't want to miss.
