It's been a whirlwind rise to the top for Zach Bryan, but his feet are finally on the ground.

The Grammy-winning country singer, 29, opened up about his mental health struggles and sobriety journey in a candid Instagram post Tuesday, Nov. 18.

"In no way is this a greater-than-thou sentiment, and I'm aware I am one of the luckiest men alive," Bryan wrote in the post's caption. "I pray people don't take this as me taking my blessings for granted."

Bryan said he wanted to come forward with his personal battle "because I feel like a lot of people go through mental struggles at times and feel alone in them, which leads plenty to suffer in silence."

"I hope it helps someone struggling to find words when they’re down on their luck," he added.

Zach Bryan on alcohol addiction, 'earth-shattering panic attacks'

In his Instagram post, Bryan revealed that a recent cross-country motorcycle trip helped him realize that he "really need[ed]" support in navigating his turbulent life in the public eye.

Bryan served in the U.S. Navy and began his musical career during his military service when he recorded songs in his free time and posted them online, which culminated in the release of his first two albums, 2019's "DeAnn" and 2020's "Elisabeth." He later received an honorable discharge to pursue music full-time after his work began growing in popularity.

Bryan's major-label debut album, 2022's "American Heartbreak," topped Billboard's country, rock and Americana/folk charts and went on to sell 3 million copies. His self-titled follow-up, released a little over a year later, peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and earned him a Grammy Award for the Kacey Musgraves duet "I Remember Everything."

"Being in the military for a decade and then thrown into a spotlight that I hadn't fully comprehended the scope of had some subconscious effects on me as a person," Bryan wrote. "I was not content, but I also feared showing weakness because that's not who I am or how I was raised. To charge forward and to never settle was the motto."

Despite his success, Bryan said he was "stuck in a perpetual discontent," which he said influenced him to "always [reach] for alcohol, not for the taste, but because there was a consistent black hole in me that always needed its void filled."

The "Something in the Orange" singer also found controversy in his rapidly ascending career. Bryan's 2024 breakup with internet personality Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia led to allegations of emotional abuse, while a feud with fellow country singer Gavin Adcock resulted in a viral dispute at the Born & Raised Festival in September.

"I had been lied about and doxxed on the internet," Bryan wrote. "I was helping a close friend through a severe mental break, one of my other best friends was put into a coma by a motorcycle accident and I was touring the country playing five, sometimes six nights a week."

He added: "I was having earth-shattering panic attacks. The anxiety I felt was paralyzing, and I thought since I was successful, had the money I always longed for and had great friends, that I could tough anything out."

Zach Bryan feels 'great' after getting sober

Following his mental health struggles, Bryan enlisted the help of a therapist and "made the conscious decision to do something about my toxic relationship with booze and how I cope with major life changes," he shared on Instagram.

The singer-songwriter said he's been sober for "nearly two months," which he said has helped improve his "personal clarity."

"I feel great. I feel content. I feel whole," Bryan reflected. "There is nothing I need to get me by anymore. If you or any of your friends are too tough, too scared or too stubborn to reach out, know that the most stubborn dumba-- on the planet did and didn't regret it."

He concluded: "I don't believe in absolutes. One day maybe, I'll learn to control my habits, but for now, I just want to say it is OK to be weak at times and need help. God speed everybody! I pray this helps somebody."
