“My personal experience is everything, man. That’s all it is. You know, I walked a thousand miles into those woods, and now I’m just trying to walk a thousand miles out,” said Zac Clark.
Health advocate Zac Clark has been sober for fourteen years, his journey now showing others that recovery is possible.
“I was given this gift. Something happened 14 years ago that I can’t explain. A higher being came into my life, and I got sober,” Clark shared.
That purpose includes talking about life-saving resources, including Narcan spray, which can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.
“I believe that I have a purpose to kind of carry this message. And part of the way I do that is by coming to campuses like LSU and talking about my recovery and talking about some of the tools and other resources that are available, such as Narcan,” he said.
For NFL Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith, the issue is deeply personal. He said too many lives are being lost before they can reach their full potential.
“We’re losing lives, and there’s no idea of how much talent is in the lives that we’re losing,” said Smith. And so, this is one way that everybody can share in the responsibility, if you will, of preserving another person’s life, if you have the tools to do so.”
Education, responsibility, and compassion all play a part in turning the tide in the opioid crisis.
“Being educated is one of the things that we’re talking about. But living your true life and living the best version of yourself requires you to have a level of discipline, a level of responsibility, and a level of care at the same time,” Smith added.
