Zac G's journey to sobriety is a rollercoaster of emotions and revelations, one that many can relate to. In this episode of SoberQ, Zac shares his transformative experience of starting to live on a spiritual basis. His story begins in a foreign country, where despite his efforts to find peace through external means like saunas and vegetable diets, he remained deeply unhappy.
It was only when he surrendered and began praying the third step prayer each morning that he started to see a shift. The turning point came when Zac returned to the United States and met a man from Iceland who challenged him to enlarge his spiritual life. Initially sceptical, Zac found guidance in the words of Bill's story from Alcoholics Anonymous, which emphasised the importance of work and self-sacrifice for others to maintain sobriety.
Zac's scepticism turned into acceptance, leading him to actively engage with others in recovery. His journey wasn't just about staying sober; it was about learning to love and be patient through sponsoring others. Zac realised that helping others was also a way to help himself, as each act of kindness contributed to his own spiritual growth.
His anecdotes about driving around in his 'Van Berghini', picking up fellow drunks for meetings, and discovering the unexpected role of sponsor, offer a humorous yet poignant look at the impact of community support. Zac's story is not just about quitting alcohol; it's about finding purpose and meaning through spiritual practice and community involvement. If you're looking for an inspiring tale of resilience and transformation, this episode is a must-listen.
