Heart of the Matter with Elizabeth Vargas
[link removed]
Before Zac Clark was introduced to television viewers on The
Bachelorette, he was considered the "life of the party" and willing to
go to great lengths to achieve his "next high." In his
twenties, his addiction escalated to the point where his marriage
crumbled and his friendships dissipated. His relationship with his
parents was holding on by a thread. But they never gave up on him, and
Zac found recovery.
Ultimately, Zac won back his health and went on to win the heart of
not only Tayshia Adams but also viewers across the country, all
through his candor, compassion and commitment to a substance-free
life. In the ninth episode of Heart of the Matter, listen in as
Elizabeth Vargas and Zac revisit his journey, from faking an illness
to gain access to prescription medications to finding happiness in
real life, making a career out of helping others with addiction, and
even falling in love on reality TV.
