“I think that there's hope, you know my big thing is keep going... I just kept going, I kept going. Good days, bad days, like it was never as good as it seems and it's never as bad as it seems. It's probably somewhere in the middle.”
Ever wondered how someone goes from high school keg parties to becoming a beacon of hope in the recovery community? Zac Clark's story is one you won't want to miss. A business owner and former Bachelorette contestant, Zac opens up about his tumultuous journey to sobriety in this episode of Rooted Recovery Stories. From carefree teenage years to college excesses, his battle with addiction took a dramatic turn after a brain tumor led to a dependency on painkillers.
Zac's candid recounting of his struggles, including a failed marriage and multiple rehab stints, offers a raw and unfiltered look at the highs and lows of addiction. But what stands out is his resilience. After hitting rock bottom, including a failed attempt to steal from his father, Zac found the strength to seek lasting recovery. Today, he helps others through his business, Release Recovery, and stays connected to life outside of addiction by cheering for his favorite Philly sports teams.
Zac's journey is a testament to the transformative power of recovery and the importance of never giving up.
