Episode Description
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.
