Sober Awkward

The Share Shed: Awkward Questions & Confessions


Listen Later

Today on the Share Shed we have one confession and one question.

First up, a listener wakes up in Las Vegas with more than just a hangover… let’s just say Elvis may have been involved and somebody accidentally got married.

Then we tackle a question many people quietly ask themselves: if your hands shake the morning after drinking, is that a sign you’re an alcoholic?


The answer might surprise you.

Pour yourself a cuppa and join us for today’s Share Shed.


The Share Shed is where listeners send in their funniest, cringiest and most unbelievable drinking stories. It’s not about judgement, it’s about recognising how wild things could get when alcohol was in charge, and laughing about it now we’re on the other side.


But sometimes, it’s also a place for the harder stuff, the honest bits we don’t always say out loud.


If you’ve got a story you’d like to get off your chest, funny, awkward or something a bit more serious, you can send it to Vic at:


[email protected]


Anonymous is absolutely fine. In fact, for legal reasons, probably preferable!!

💬 A gentle reminder

If you’re drinking in the morning to cope, especially with anxiety or withdrawal symptoms, it’s really important to speak to a doctor or medical professional. Stopping suddenly can be unsafe for some people, and support can make a huge difference.
