I Was a Drink Away From Dying | Cancer, Prison & How Alcohol Took Everything

Becky’s story is one of survival at every level. She was sexually abused as a child, adopted into a strict household, and later diagnosed with aggressive cancer just one month after giving birth. Doctors told her she’d be lucky to see her son turn five. She beat cancer—multiple times. But the unresolved trauma, years of surgeries, and being told her life was a ticking clock led her down a darker path. Becky fell into severe alcoholism, stole hundreds of thousands of dollars, lost her marriage, and was eventually sentenced to three years in prison. Even behind bars, cancer returned. Shackled in a hospital bed during radiation treatment, Becky hit a bottom unlike anything she’d ever known. What followed was a brutal reckoning with addiction, accountability, and ultimately, surrender. In this episode, Becky opens up about: Childhood sexual abuse and the lifelong impact of secrecy Being told she wouldn’t live to raise her son Alcoholism that escalated after years of trauma Prison, cancer treatment behind bars, and total loss The exact moment she finally surrendered and got sober Rebuilding her relationship with her son and finding purpose again Becky has now been sober since 2011 and serves as COO of her son’s company—built from the pain of their separation and transformed into something meaningful. This is a powerful conversation about trauma, addiction, resilience, and what it really means to rise after losing everything. If this episode helps even one person feel less alone, it’s worth sharing. #AddictionRecovery #SurvivorStory #SobrietyJourney #TraumaHealing #LifeAfterPrison #CancerSurvivor #AlcoholismRecovery #RiseAbove #RedemptionStory #MentalHealthMatters 00:00 Early Sobriety and Family Reflections 01:12 Roots of Addiction: Childhood Trauma 02:33 Adoption, Abuse, and Family Secrets 04:52 Marriage, Motherhood, and Cancer Diagnosis 06:46 Fighting Against Cancer and Defying Odds 10:09 Living With Secrets and Emotional Strain 15:54 Receiving the Cancer Diagnosis and Facing Mortality 22:05 Cancer Treatment Challenges and Setbacks 27:27 Career Change, Resentment, and Downward Spiral 31:32 Addiction’s Grip: Lying and Compounding Problems 36:40 Crisis, Discovery, and Family Fallout 39:38 Arrest, Consequences, and the Path to Prison 43:16 Prison, Loss, and Hitting Rock Bottom 47:03 Getting Out of Prison: Relapse and Helplessness 50:55 End-Stage Addiction and Turning Point 53:14 Reaching Out for Help and Recovery Begins 56:47 Maintaining Sobriety and Life Lessons 01:00:12 Building a New Life and Work With Son 01:04:33 Company Origins: Photo App for Prisoners 01:09:09 Mother-Son Relationship and Redemption 01:12:43 Reflections, Support, and Lasting Recovery 🔔 Join Rise Above with Kevin Lanning to watch more content on Triumph, adversity, resilience, and inspiration:    / @riseabovewithkevin   ✅ Stay Connected To Us. 👉Instagram:   / riseabovewithkevin   👉 TikTok:   / rawithk   👉 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/riseabovewithk ✅ For Business Inquiries: riseabovewithk@gmail.com ================================ ✅ About Rise Above with Kevin Lanning: Rise Above: Stories of Resilience with Kevin Lanning Welcome to Rise Above with Kevin Lanning, where resilience finds its voice.
