Zach Bryan Says He’s Nearly Two Months Sober, Starts Therapy After Panic Attacks

He credits a 20-day solo ride that ended with a Seattle parking-lot reckoning for pushing him to seek help.

Overview

  • In a Nov. 18 Instagram post, the country singer said he has not touched alcohol for almost two months and has begun therapy.
  • He detailed "earth-shattering panic attacks" and paralyzing anxiety after being doxxed and misrepresented online while touring heavily.
  • Bryan said a 20-day solo motorcycle and camping trip culminated in a Seattle moment of clarity that led him to seek professional help.
  • He emphasized support from his family and girlfriend Samantha Leonard, saying future-focused conversations prompted a health-first shift.
  • The disclosure followed a tumultuous year that included a public breakup with Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia, a confrontation with Gavin Adcock, and a Michigan show billed as the largest ticketed concert in U.S. history.
