Let's talk about mates.

When you get sober sometimes friendships change. Some people surprise you by being supportive and sticking by you, while others find your changes hard to handle and disappear from your life.

It can be upsetting, shocking and disappointing when mates turn their backs, so today on Sober Awkward Vic and Hame are going to have a chat about the intricacy of friendships and how they have navigated this tricky and emotional part of sobriety.

Today you will find out why Vic finds friendships hard to understand, and why she's like a happy labrador if you stick by her and how Hame was the guy that texted you the next day if you met him in a pub toilet ! They'll also discuss how a couple of situations at school affected how they approach close relationships now and how moving to Australia has made them realise that Brits do friendships differently... it's all upside down!

So, grab your headphones and get your walking shoes on and join Vic and Hamish for a stroll into what friendships are worth keeping and which ones you need to kick to the curb!

Note - They both waffle on for far too long, so this episode is coming at you in two parts. Listen out for part 2 next week.
