Summary
In this episode, we have Zac, who found some freedom with alcohol. Alcohol quickly became a close high school friend for Zac when he was struggling with an anxious mind. The more he drank, the more he needed to drink, and this escalated quickly. At 16, his parents intervened after finding alcohol in his vehicle, and he was off to rehab. With so little drinking time under his belt, it didn't make complete sense to quit drinking alcohol. After getting several felony charges for a single car accident while intoxicated, Zac had to take a hard look at his life and choices. This is Zac's story on the Sober Motivation Podcast.
