I think there are now shades of gray when it comes to recovery... it's super difficult, even when we're sober, to feel like we got this.
Ever wondered what it truly takes to get sober? Lane Kennedy knows firsthand. In this episode of 'Chase The Vase', host Brock Bevell sits down with Lane, who opens up about her journey from a seemingly perfect life to battling addiction. Despite having a glamorous lifestyle in California, complete with a beautiful home, luxury cars, and an enviable wardrobe, Lane's internal struggles were far from picture-perfect.
She found herself trapped in a cycle of drinking that left her feeling isolated and desperate for change. Lane shares how mutual aid played a crucial role in her recovery, helping her navigate the complex world of sobriety. She dives into the ongoing challenges that come even after years of abstaining from alcohol, emphasizing the importance of understanding the brain's role in addiction.
Through candid conversation, Lane and Brock discuss how changing the brain's plasticity requires continuous effort and why having a sense of purpose and practicing meditation can be powerful tools in maintaining sobriety. The episode also tackles the often-misleading messaging around addiction. Lane believes more people with long-term sobriety should share their stories to offer hope to those still struggling. Her advice? Slow down and take a moment to pause.
This heartfelt discussion is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of addiction and recovery, or for those looking for inspiration on their own journey.
