When did Release Recovery founder Clark decide to remain sober?
Zac Clark realized his substance abuse needs a change after 2011. He was taken into rehab in the same year after trying to cash a forged check from his dad’s account at a bank.
The bank teller Rhonda Jackson changed his faith and was the reason why Zac began to live his sobriety. Expressing gratitude towards the teller whom he reunited in 2020, Clark disclosed,
“It was one of the most powerful experiences I have ever had. She still works at the same bank! I met my hero, I met the woman who saved my life.”
Further revealing the most important life lesson he learned from the lady, Clark said,
“In a world that is filled seemingly with so much apathy, Rhonda Jackson taught me a valuable life lesson. Always treat people with love, always believe and always do the right thing. You never know whose life you might be saving.”
