Sober Awkward

Excellent podcast and even better English accents. Thank you for your support and keeping the humour without the booze. 6months of booze again. Diagnosed with ADHD and approaching 40 made my drinking get out of control. And working in an Irish Pub didn’t help. But even with all that, I’m sober 6 months. I agree with another review, I’m not a big fan of the adhd podcast recommended. Would love other podcast recommendations. Keep it up guys, and I’ll miss Lucy.

Love this podcast… the story of my life LOL… thanks for the laughs, the insight and for keeping it real 🙌

I love YOUR podcast, by the way. Has helped me get to nearly 11 months. Yay!! However, that ADHD podcast you advertise… tried to listen to it but the host gibbered on for 8 minutes at the start of the episode that I listened to… and I got RSI trying to fast forward through it. Probably a sign of ADHD? Maybe. But that is excessive.

“what’s her names” book reviewed on ABC RN plugged the podcast, here I am loving the Hamish accent. I had a 1980s LDLA (Syd-LDN) with a Yorkshireman - I remember Huddersfield / Middlesbrough where all the dams look like in the movie “Dam Busters”. My alcohol story was bing when young but rare because of on call work and I never liked being drunk., became expert wine taster not drinker but became routine drinker with dad, bottle a day each in end of life care. I had to stop drinking … my solution… return to what I loved most - the exploration of wine tasting. Like some great wine makers I never drink a drop - I spit. So still vulnerable to mouth cancer (dad died of bowel cancer). A doctor, reading his Lancet & New England Journals to his last weeks, I never once heard him mention alcohol as carcinogenic. I used to be angry (70’s & 80’s) scientists would not research homosexuality in nature, plus its role in humans sending our genes into the future ie best that all siblings help ONE to reproduce NOT compete in times of scarcity. Follow the money, the grants and career prospects of the few that did publish. Similar forces must have been at work preventing the link between alcohol and cancer. Great work you did in this episode BUT don’t stop ALCOHOL <—> CANCER i think you might have to keep “hammering it” … haha I’m the family youngest & last remaining, if nothing gets me first I’m planning an exit in Zurich 2040. In the mean time I’m avail for adoption as the stereotypical “creepy gay uncle” (no, not creepy because I’m gay) If you / this podcast cause people to live longer (this what makes me creepy If cancer strikes later in life, please seriously palliative care. Quality of life focus often seems to extent life beyond expectation as well… it’s impossible to know. Automaticly choosing to heroically do everything possible to fight the cancer is everyone’s default position in the medical industry - please be ready to force family and practitioners to consider and present all options Andrew in Cairns ps sorry bout name blackout, a joke, but seriously I don’t know how to leave this zone, look up and come back.. don’t forget I’m old huge effort to find out HOW to start a review … then it’s too late pps I have no problem Hanish’s sexuality, I don’t care what it is or isn’t, I love him ‘just the way god made him’ and I hope both you two are much loved and adored by all in your immediate circle of moral care.
