Why Water is at the Centre of a Long Lasting Sobriety
If you are newly sober, we can guarantee your water intake is about to go through the roof. Tea, coffee and sparkling water are your new best friends - and that can sometimes feel a little dull!
In today's episode, Vic and Hame will talk you through the benefits of increasing your water intake, tackle some of the myths surrounding the water content in alcohol and (try!) and make you feel less dull whilst ordering water in a bar.
We went off on a couple of weird tangents about Binking Ginges and why this episode should be sponsored by the Shewee and for some reason Vic tried to make this episode all about pee. If you know Vic, you will know that this is hardly surprising though...

Why Do Famous People Often Struggle With Addiction?
As a society we see fame as something to aspire to. But is it really all it's cracked up to be?
Today's episode of Sober Awkward is all about celebrity.
What's it really like when managers control your every move, you have expectations of others weighing upon you, a heavy workload, people that look up to you and way too many nights in hotel rooms… where does it all lead?
Today Vic and Hamish discuss the recent passing of Matthew Perry and why we lose so many talented people to addiction. Vic reminisces about some of her famous run-ins and Hame wonders if he's been missing out on some celeb snogs.
As Oscar Wilde said,
‘Aspirations for fame are motivated mainly by the need for validation and attention.’
which unfortunately can lead many wonderful people down a path to heavy boozing.
Enjoy!

Are you Blaming Others for Your Bad Choices?
The Blame Game...We call it a game but it isn't all that fun really.
'It's not my fault I drink this much - I do it because...'
Enter one of a thousand possible answers:
My parentsMy upbringingMy jobMy partner My mother-in-lawI live above a pubSocietyTV and Media and Mr BlobbyEtc. etc. etc
You name it, we have probably blamed one of these things for our over drinking at some point!
But what purpose does passing the buck play in helping us get sober?
Is it instead diverting the attention away from the fact that you might have a alcohol use disorder?
In this episode, Vic and Hame dive into some of the factors they blamed in the past and explore healthier and more efficient ways to get sober!
Enjoy!
