How to Keep Your Social Battery Charged in Your Sobriety
Have you noticed how your social life changes once you go sober?
The things that you used to love doing...like gurning in a field all night to repetitive trance music...aren't quite filling your cup anymore.
The whole process of re-learning what you ACTUALLY enjoy doing whilst socialising sober can take years...and a lot of boring nights feeling out of place!
In today's episode Hame and Vic attempt to fast track this lengthy process for you by sharing the lessons they have learnt the hard way!
You might find you prefer cafes to pubs or walks to raves...or you might be able to do exactly what you used to do only for a tenth of the time!
Either way, buckle in and get ready!
(Some dodgy accents once again snuck their way into this episode...we can only apologise)

Is Trauma The Core of Your Over Drinking and How Can We Cure It?
If you speak to anyone that has struggled with over drinking - you don't have to do much digging to uncover some trauma.
Trauma, sadly is inevitable, but how you react to it is one of the most important steps you will take in your sobriety.
Do you face up to the emotions or do you bury them in booze and drugs?
In today's episode Vic and Hame will share the traumas they have lived through both big and small and take a look at WHY this is such an important subject inside the world of sobriety.
Enjoy the episode!

Are you Lying About Your Alcohol Consumption?
Liar, liar, pants on fire!
The words still sting decades later.
None of us want to be considered a liar and yet anyone that has ever drunk has probably also lied about it.
Why you are home after your curfew?
Why you kissed your friends boyfriend?
How you blew your finger off?
Sound familiar?!
Typically our lies surrounding alcohol start small. We lie to our parents about where we are going for the night or why their bottle of vodka is now weirdly full of water.
But these lies can grow. You might start lying to your friends and your partner. You might lie to your boss about your many 'sick days' and you might even end up lying to yourself about how bad your drinking has really gotten.
These lies can catch up on you and cost you everything. From relationships to careers to the trust of those you love.
Alcohol plays it part in these lies and Vic and Hame are going to unpack exactly why that is.
Enjoy!

Customer Reviews
The flippin’ BEST sober podcast
Vic & Hamish are so relatable, hilarious, and inspiring! I can’t count how many times I’ve laughed out loud while listening to this stellar podcast. Their open and vulnerable conversations keep me coming back for more. Their approach makes me feel like I’m right there with them, engaged in a silly and fulfilling conversation with best friends.
As someone who is 7 months alcohol free, their chats remind me that sober does NOT equal boring - these two are the opposite of boring. They inspire me to keep thriving in a fun and fabulous way (& have provided me with some welcome belly laughs to boot)! I appreciate you, Vic & Hamish!
12/10 from me.

Truth through humor!
