Your life can look completely “fine” and still be falling apart every Sunday morning. We’re joined by Vic Van Stone from Sober Awkward, who gets brutally honest about binge drinking that hides in plain sight: the ladette years, the party reputation you feel trapped inside, and the way anxiety after drinking gets normalized until it becomes unbearable. If you’ve ever Googled why can’t I moderate, sober curious, or hangxiety symptoms, you’ll recognize the pattern fast.
We talk about motherhood and mummy wine culture, and the particular kind of shame that hits when you’re staring down a brutal hangover with a baby crying in the next room. Vic shares the day she finally said out loud, “I’ve got a problem with alcohol,” and why asking for professional help, not just willpower, changed everything. One of the most powerful moments is a therapy visualization that reframes recovery in a single image: a chaotic merry go round of drinking and noise, and the option to step off.
We also get into what happens next: friendships that shift, boundaries that protect your sobriety, and why so many overdrinkers relate to ADHD traits and rejection sensitivity. Then we zoom out to the good stuff, like laughing without booze, sober retreats in Thailand, and building real community that makes an alcohol-free life feel bigger, not smaller. If this resonates, subscribe, share it with a friend who’s questioning their drinking, and leave a quick review so more people can find us.
