"Secrets Keep You Sick" — 15 Years Sober | Clean with Lance Lang EP 03

Secrets keep you sick. Shane Daugherty carried one from age 6 to 23 — and the day he finally said it out loud, the room answered "me too." Shane was there on day one of Lance's sobriety. They met at the dinner table in treatment (Lance thought he was pretty bad off until he met Shane; Shane thought Lance was a nerd), then lived together in the very first Hope Is Alive house. Fifteen years sober, Shane opens up about the two moments that changed everything in rehab: sitting at a high school friend's funeral wondering why it wasn't him, and finally telling the secret he'd carried since he was six. He was sexually abused as a young boy, and that pain led him into addiction. Saying it out loud, first to his counselor and then to a room full of men, is where his healing began. They also get into: • The "caveman" days — couch to couch with one backpack, and the photo his family says they can still smell • Why sobriety was the first real discipline of his life • Going from payday loans to owning a business and leading a team • The Go-Giver, generosity, and why the friendships from recovery never fade • What he'd tell anyone still holding a secret Recovery is more than putting down substances. It's about building a life worth staying sober for. Content note: in this episode, Shane shares his story of childhood sexual abuse, how it led to his addiction, and how telling it helped him heal. It also discusses the death of a friend. Hope Is Alive: hopeisalive.net
