    Is it a Lapse or a Relapse?

    Sausage Warning - In today's episode there are far too much pork talk - May be disturbing to some listeners. It's an email that Vic and Hamish receive all the time - Is it a lapse or a relapse when you drink after a period of abstinence? and do you have to re-set your sober days counter if you have one day of drinking? If you just completed Sober October...well done! Didn't those sober days tick over nicely? - It would be shame to go back to day one. But, what happens if the need comes creeping back and if you have a bevvie (which we hope you won't) does it need to be dramatic? Do you have to reset your app? or can it just be a glitch that strengthens your sobriety in the long run? Today Vic and Hame are going to unravel the difference between these two words 'Lapse' and 'Relapse' to try and understand if they are as heavy as they sound. Does it depend where you sit on the vast spectrum of alcohol use disorder? or is it just a matter of personal choice? For Vic, a relapse would symbolise a serious mental health breakdown, but for Hame it might be as simple as shrugging it off. The process of drinking again after time off is different for everyone. So, if you have has a lapse or relapse, Sober Awkward is here to put the imaginary pig back in the pen, get you back on the sober horse and get the wheels of the sober wagon rolling (too many farm related puns? ) They will unravel the shame over a slip up, give you some tips, uncover why choosing to take responsibility for your drinking habit will help it last longer and lastly, understand why Vic has a very close relationship with the toilet right now.

    I'm Sober! Why Do I Keep Getting Drinking Dreams?!

    Whether you are newly sober or 10 years in, chances are you have had a drinking dream. For Vic and Hame these usually involve a highlight reel of being off their faces in a nightclub or at a music festival. These can be both troubling and an incredible relief. For some, the dream of being drunk can act as a trigger to wanting to experience that again. Whereas for others, just waking up and realising that you do not have a hangover or come down can further strengthen their sobriety. Is there anything you can do to avoid these types of dreams? How can you train yourself to react in a positive way every time? Why does Hame’s wife struggle to accept that dinosaurs existed? We will answer the BIG questions in this week’s episode. Enjoy!

    Quit? Me? Why? Part 2 - Helping People That Don't Get Hangovers.

    Last week Vic and Hame found out about those weird and strange people that don't get hangovers and this week they dig into how you can subtly help that person and nudge them towards an alcohol free life. How do you tell someone that loves drinking that you're worried about them? It's a question that Vic and Hame get all the time! And it's the hardest one to answer. When you are still in love with booze, have no repercussions from it and feel like its your best friend, someone trying to sit you down and have a meaningful chat about it will be enough to have the big drinkers reaching for that bottle of voddie, so how on earth can you get someone to slow down without making them feel defensive? Today is all about those calm, shoulder to shoulder conversations, why leading by example is so powerful and reframing the hangover. Oh and Vic reads a terrible review of her book. Enjoy!

    Quit? Me? Why? Part 1 - I Don't Even Get Hangovers!

    There are some weird people in this world that don't get hangovers. They drink a case full of beers and wake up the next day feeling fine and dandy. So, why would someone like this ever quit alcohol and how can you help someone that is still in the honeymoon period of boozing? Well, today Vic and Hamish try to find out. In the first episode of this two part extravaganza, they discover why some people don't suffer dusty comedowns the next day, how genetics play a role and why which booze you choose makes hangovers more severe. They will also take a look at the reality of the hangover - is it just 24 hours of feeling like shit or is there more long term damage that people ignore just to keep the party going? So, because they waffled on for far too long about this it's been split into two episodes - next week we go from the 'no hangover unicorns' to about chatting to someone you love that is still........ totally in love with booze.
