I must say I feel I always say that I don't have another recovery in me. So I'm really glad that I have stayed sober.
Lane Kennedy’s story is a testament to the transformative power of meditation in recovery. In this episode of Tribe Sober, host Janet Gourand chats with Lane, a mother who has been sober for over 25 years. Lane's life in the Hollywood Hills seemed glamorous, but behind the scenes, alcohol was wreaking havoc. Her drinking was unpredictable—some days it was just a couple of glasses, other days it led to blackout.
Despite her outward success, she felt a deep unhappiness that alcohol couldn't mask. Lane didn’t hit a dramatic rock bottom; instead, she experienced a gradual realization that her life was unraveling. A pivotal moment came when well-meaning friends tricked her into attending an AA meeting, where she first heard the message of recovery. It took her a year to get sober, with the first 90 days being particularly tough as she missed her old coping mechanism.
9/11 marked a significant turning point for Lane. She left the US and began to rebuild her life. Meditation became a cornerstone of her recovery, helping her manage stress and find inner peace. Now, she dedicates her time to teaching others how to meditate and incorporate it into their own sobriety journeys. This episode dives into the challenges of motherhood and sobriety, the role of sober influencers, and the rise of the sober curious movement.
Lane emphasizes the importance of knowledge and education in maintaining sobriety and shares how meditation can improve sleep and emotional well-being. Tune in to hear Lane's inspiring story and discover how meditation can be a powerful tool in your own recovery journey.
