I Was Drinking Vodka All Day | Car Crash, Hidden Addiction & How I Finally Got Sober

Rise Above with Kevin Lanning

Megan’s addiction didn’t look obvious at first.

She had a job, a family, and a life that seemed “normal” on the outside… but behind the scenes, she was drinking vodka all day, hiding bottles, and slowly losing control.

After a near-fatal car crash, showing up drunk to work, and hitting a breaking point as a mother, everything came crashing down.

In this episode, Megan shares:

  • The moment her addiction spiraled out of control
  • Drinking in secret while trying to hold life together
  • The crash that should’ve been her wake-up call
  • How motherhood and rock bottom forced change
  • What it actually took to get and stay sober

This is a raw conversation about shame, survival, and what recovery really looks like.
