About this episode
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.
