Sober Awkward

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...

Oh and Vic tells a cruel story about her Dad...

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!

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 parents
• My upbringing
• My job
• My partner
•  My mother-in-law
• I live above a pub
• Society
• TV and Media and Mr Blobby
• Etc. 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!

We've all done it. Texted an ex, bought an inflatable shark suit and taken dick pic then sent in to your mother-in-law when pissed. Unfortunately, going live, calling, messaging, face-timing and snap chatting when tanked-up to your eyeballs on wine... are a dodgy part of this modern, technology based world.

Let's face it, after a few bevvies you feel confident in what you say, spend and share. Booze means you don't care so much about consequences of your actions and well, you really did need that space age electric toilet seat at the time.

Today Vic and Hame discuss the shame of waking up having texted people when under the influence and buying weird shit online when you can't even remember your own name. They will run through some intimate confessions, discuss the dangers of sharing nudes online, the mental health consequences of others seeing your drunken messages and how shopping for top hats for toads might be something you regret the next day.. confused? We are too! Ribbit!

Today's episode of Sober Awkward is an opportunity to share some shame. Get it off your chest!

Yes, its over to the listeners to own up to some embarrassing text messages and awkward on-line shenanigans.

Enjoy the episode!

In this weeks retrospective episode Vic and Lucy give you some tips on how to get through a holiday and actually make memories instead of blacking them out.

Osher is quite simply, one of the most recognisable faces…and voices…in Australia.

From his early days on Channel V to hosting The Batchelor and The Bachelorette - Osher has been the face of Australia'a biggest TV shows for over 20 years.

More importantly, for the sake of our podcast - Hamish was lucky enough to sit down with Osher on the day he celebrated his 14 year soberversary.

When we talk about 'doing the work' - not many have done quite as much as Osher.

Osher is a man who has turned his complex mental health issues into his greatest strengths. Social anxiety, depression, PTSD, psychotic episodes and suicidal ideations are just some of the challenges that he has overcome.

And he sites his sobriety as being the key factor that enabled him not only to survive but to thrive amongst all this.

The man that I met is one who has lived a life but continues to smile and share his story with humour!

I would encourage you to listen to this episode with a pen in your hand because there are more nuggets of wisdom in this single conversation, than Hame and Vic have managed in over 100 episodes!

Enjoy!
