Victoria Vanstone loved to party. She partied so hard that she once blew her finger off with a firework at a New Year's Eve party. For the first 20 years of her life, Victoria wasn't sober, but she also didn't consider herself to be a problematic drinker. She fell somewhere in between going to the pub and going to a support meeting. On this episode of Under The Gloss, Victoria joins Phoebe to chat about how her binge drinking went unnoticed, coping with motherhood and a hangover, falling into the gray area and why being sober is the most rebellious thing you could do. 

Trigger warning: We will be discussing issues relating to problematic drinking and addiction so please, as always, listen with care

To hear more from Victoria, you can find her co-hosting the podcast Sober Awkward.
