Clean and Sober Radio Gary Hendler

On this edition of Clean and Sober Radio host Gary Hendler and cohost Mark Sigmund welcome Zachary Miers. Zachary was admittedly a "party animal" in college. His desire to be the life of the party lead him down the path to addition. He remembers he was always "that guy" who went too far. His journey was a difficult one, from being a functional addict with an unhealthy dose of denial, to full out opioid addiction after an injury, followed by plenty of prescriptions. But we do get better! Now Zachary is a clinical counselor. He has been through hell but did not give up and instead worked hard to be in a position to help others. Zach is giving back. Listen to find out how he reached his goal and found purpose.
