I Swore I Was Quitting Every Morning… and Used Again by Noon | The Reality of Alcohol Addiction

DJ ActRight sits down with Kevin Lanning to share his powerful journey from active addiction to over 2.5 years sober — all while living a true double life. By day, he’s a middle school teacher in West Virginia. By night and on weekends, he’s touring the country as Petey Pablo’s DJ, performing in packed venues where alcohol and temptation are everywhere. After a DUI became his wake-up call, DJ ActRight made the decision to get sober and hold himself accountable — even behind the DJ booth. In this episode, DJ ActRight opens up about: The shame and mental battles of active addiction Why “once I started, I couldn’t stop” didn’t look how people expect Getting sober in party environments and staying accountable Touring sober, support from artists and bartenders, and setting boundaries Marriage, living amends, and rebuilding trust Why there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to recovery This is a raw, honest conversation about discipline, purpose, and proving to yourself — one day at a time — that change is possible. If this episode helps even one person, it’s done its job. #RiseAbovePodcast #SoberJourney #Sobriety #RecoveryIsPossible #DJLife #FromAddictionToPurpose #SoberLiving #MentalHealth #LivingAmends #OneDayAtATime Learn more about your ad choices.
