Podcast: Rise Above with Kevin Lanning
Published On: Thu Jan 08 2026
Description: Amy spent decades battling addiction in different forms—anorexia, obsession, control, and ultimately alcohol. From hiding vodka in her bedroom while raising her kids to blacking out during COVID, Amy lived a double life that nearly cost her everything. In this raw and emotional conversation, Amy shares how childhood trauma, OCD, eating disorders, toxic relationships, and owning bars all fueled her addiction. She opens up about the terrifying moments her kids found her passed out, the shame of hiding bottles, and the day her family finally said the words she’d been praying to hear: “You need help.” Three years sober, Amy proves that recovery is possible—even when alcohol is everywhere—and that sobriety isn’t about willpower, but healing the mind behind the addiction. If you or someone you love is struggling, this episode could be the one that helps you take the first step. #Alcoholism #RecoveryJourney #Sobriety #AddictionRecovery #EatingDisorderRecovery #AnorexiaAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #FamilyDisease #RiseAbove #OneDayAtATime Learn more about your ad choices.
