Becky's Not Drinking Tonight

In this episode of recounting drunken misadventures and misfortunes, Bek revisits some of her past house mates and how we are heavily influenced by who we surround ourselves with and why it's important to sometimes bow out of relationships that are toxic. 

Lets revisit one of worst days of any given year, Bek's birthday.  As she reflects on the trauma and ridiculous insecurities underlying this day, we go on our journey through cults, kidnapping and just good old drunken debauchery to discover why it's such a difficult day of failed expectations.

In this return episode, Bek delves into how her physical and mental health were triggers for a desire of her mothers nurturing love and care, and yet also a terrible excuse to drink to cope with unfortunate news. She reflects on what impact drinking has on mental and physical health and questions if coping mechanisms during covid will have a lasting impact.

In December 2015, Bek travelled to Japan with her boyfriend, older brother and one of her younger brothers.  What was meant to be a funfilled trip of exploration and discovery, became a trip tainted by detrimental alcohol induced arguments and incidents, and general trashy western tourist behaviour.

In episode four Bek reflects on her terrible memories from what should have been some of the happiest ocassions of her life. Working through self fulfilling prophecies and destructive patterns, we uncover how toxic drinking can be when underlying feelings of inferiority bubble to the surface, resulting in chaos and causing hurt to those she loved the most.
