From Partying to Purpose: Zach Clark’s Journey to Recovery

Zach Clark had it all—a loving family, a great upbringing, and a future in sports. But what started as innocent partying quickly turned into a relentless chase for the next high. In college, alcohol fueled his weekends, and soon, cocaine and Adderall became part of the equation. By his mid-20s, his life had spiraled into heroin use and crack addiction, leading to homelessness, failed relationships, and brushes with death.

After hitting rock bottom and being confronted by his family, Zach entered rehab—not for the first time, but for the last. A chance encounter with a bank teller, unwavering support from his father, and months in treatment changed everything. Now 13+ years sober, he’s the founder of Release Recovery, helping others find their way to sobriety.

Whether you’re in recovery, know someone struggling, or just want to hear an inspiring comeback story, this episode is for you.
