Different Kind of Fight

Colorado -- Lauren was living the dream of many young women. A professional deejay known as Ms. Vicious, she was in Hollywood, enjoying the "scene" when she hit the moment only other alcoholics can understand.

"(It) got to a point where I was suicidal," she said. "I was just not on a very good path. I wasn't a very honest, good person."

A little more than a year later, Lauren has remained sober, in part thanks to training for a different kind of fight.

"I started kickboxing, originally, as a way to get me sober," she said. "I thought that would be able to get me sober because I would be training so hard, I wouldn't be able to party."
