Staying sober isn’t an easy thing. It’s a day by day struggle, and takes a lot of discipline, strength, and courage. It can’t be easy staying sober when you are thrust onto the world wide stage as Zac Clark was.
Zac was part of the latest season of The Bachelorette and is now engaged to Tayshia. He’s an addiction specialist and recently chatted about his sobriety on the Clickbait Podcast.
If you watch the show – or any Bachelor franchise – you know that there is a lot of drinking that goes on. But did Zac Clark drink on the show?
He says he did not drink any alcohol.
“I’m so happy we’re taking about this. It is wild how much attention this gets,” Tayshia said. The star is happy that people are talking about Zac’s sobriety and the attention that it is getting.
Zac has been sober since August of 2011. That, to him, means no alcohol or drugs.
“Apple cider for the win!” Zac said.
He added that, “And I gotta say, you know, everyone who worked on the show, anytime there was a toast, there was someone with an apple cider sparkling …”
And Tayshia was supportive and towards the end of filming chose not to drink with him. And that’s how he knew that she liked him.
“After the rose ceremony, there’s this round of toasts,” Zac said on the podcast. “The guy came out with the tray of champagne and there was four champagnes and one apple cider and she looks at him and she goes, ‘No, I’m drinking apple cider with him tonight.’ And I said, ‘What?!’ She made the guy go back, get an apple cider while all these people are waiting.”
We love their love story and hope these two work out. What are your thoughts? Are you team Tayshia and Zac?
