Zac G's journey into understanding his alcoholism is both a personal tale and a relatable experience for many. In this episode of the SoberQ podcast, Zac opens up about his realisation at a young age that he might be an alcoholic.

As Zac narrates his experiences, he reveals the physical and spiritual challenges that accompany alcoholism.

Through his candid storytelling, Zac highlights the importance of connecting spiritually with others who share similar struggles. He reflects on finding solace in Alcoholics Anonymous, where he realised he wasn't alone in his experiences.

Zac's story is not just about the struggles of alcoholism but also about finding hope and community. His experiences serve as a reminder that recovery is possible and that sharing one's story can be a powerful tool in healing. If you're curious about how Zac managed to find a path to recovery, this episode offers an honest look into the complexities of alcoholism and the power of spiritual connection.
