Wed, 20 Nov 2024 - 19min - 226 - Does Working Away From Home Increase Drinking Habits?
In Australia, over 100,000 FIFO (Fly In, Fly Out) workers deal with the pressures of extended time away from home and countless others, partners, friends and kids also have to deal with the fallout that runs alongside someone they love being away for long periods of time.
So, does working away from home Increase your own or your partners drinking?
The stats seem to suggest that people who work away tend to over drink more than most and party harder on their days off.
It could be caused by the sense of freedom people feel when working away or it could be loneliness, boredom or missing loved ones. Then, when they get home from a work trip... the party starts. Time to kick back and enjoy a well-earned break and have a few drinks to pass the time. A toxic cycle of drinking that can leak from a workplace culture into the home.
'But Hame and Vic - What do you know?! You don't even have real jobs! we hear you cry!
Well...you're right...and that's why we have welcomed onto the podcast the wonderful Shaun Palmer who openly shares his story of domestic abuse, grief, work as a FIFO, over drinking and eventual journey to sobriety. Shaun has overcome more hurdles than most of us will in a lifetime and he now spends his time trying to help others who are struggling too.
It was an absolute pleasure to have him on the podcast and we hope his story inspires you as much as it did us!
Enjoy!

Wed, 13 Nov 2024 - 14min - 224 - Is it a Lapse or a Relapse?
Sausage Warning - In today's episode there are far too much pork talk - May be disturbing to some listeners.
It's an email that Vic and Hamish receive all the time - Is it a lapse or a relapse when you drink after a period of abstinence? and do you have to re-set your sober days counter if you have one day of drinking?
If you just completed Sober October...well done! Didn't those sober days tick over nicely? - It would be shame to go back to day one. But, what happens if the need comes creeping back and if you have a bevvie (which we hope you won't) does it need to be dramatic? Do you have to reset your app? or can it just be a glitch that strengthens your sobriety in the long run?
Today Vic and Hame are going to unravel the difference between these two words 'Lapse' and 'Relapse' to try and understand if they are as heavy as they sound. Does it depend where you sit on the vast spectrum of alcohol use disorder? or is it just a matter of personal choice?
For Vic, a relapse would symbolise a serious mental health breakdown, but for Hame it might be as simple as shrugging it off.
The process of drinking again after time off is different for everyone.
So, if you have has a lapse or relapse, Sober Awkward is here to put the imaginary pig back in the pen, get you back on the sober horse and get the wheels of the sober wagon rolling (too many farm related puns? ) They will unravel the shame over a slip up, give you some tips, uncover why choosing to take responsibility for your drinking habit will help it last longer and lastly, understand why Vic has a very close relationship with the toilet right now.
Enjoy!

Wed, 06 Nov 2024 - 16min - 222 - I'm Sober! Why Do I Keep Getting Drinking Dreams?!
Whether you are newly sober or 10 years in, chances are you have had a drinking dream.
For Vic and Hame these usually involve a highlight reel of being off their faces in a nightclub or at a music festival.
These can be both troubling and an incredible relief. For some, the dream of being drunk can act as a trigger to wanting to experience that again. Whereas for others, just waking up and realising that you do not have a hangover or come down can further strengthen their sobriety.
Is there anything you can do to avoid these types of dreams?
How can you train yourself to react in a positive way every time?
Why does Hame’s wife struggle to accept that dinosaurs existed?
We will answer the BIG questions in this week’s episode.
Enjoy!

Wed, 30 Oct 2024 - 14min - 220 - Quit? Me? Why? Part 2 - Helping People That Don't Get Hangovers.
Last week Vic and Hame found out about those weird and strange people that don't get hangovers and this week they dig into how you can subtly help that person and nudge them towards an alcohol free life.
How do you tell someone that loves drinking that you're worried about them?
It's a question that Vic and Hame get all the time! And it's the hardest one to answer.
When you are still in love with booze, have no repercussions from it and feel like its your best friend, someone trying to sit you down and have a meaningful chat about it will be enough to have the big drinkers reaching for that bottle of voddie, so how on earth can you get someone to slow down without making them feel defensive?
Today is all about those calm, shoulder to shoulder conversations, why leading by example is so powerful and reframing the hangover.
Oh and Vic reads a terrible review of her book.
Enjoy!

Wed, 23 Oct 2024 - 17min - 218 - Quit? Me? Why? Part 1 - I Don't Even Get Hangovers!
There are some weird people in this world that don't get hangovers. They drink a case full of beers and wake up the next day feeling fine and dandy. So, why would someone like this ever quit alcohol and how can you help someone that is still in the honeymoon period of boozing?
Well, today Vic and Hamish try to find out. In the first episode of this two part extravaganza, they discover why some people don't suffer dusty comedowns the next day, how genetics play a role and why which booze you choose makes hangovers more severe.
They will also take a look at the reality of the hangover - is it just 24 hours of feeling like shit or is there more long term damage that people ignore just to keep the party going?
So, because they waffled on for far too long about this it's been split into two episodes - next week we go from the 'no hangover unicorns' to about chatting to someone you love that is still........ totally in love with booze.

Wed, 16 Oct 2024 - 15min - 216 - Wakes, Funerals, Grief and Booze
No-one really talks about death or prepares for it. Is this why booze is so prevalent at wakes and funerals?
The way us humans deal with death doesn't seem to evolve. You put on a black outfit, grab a sarnie and a tissue, then, generally, everyone gets totally shitfaced. Then you accidentally offend the grieving widow, fall down some stairs, get thrown out of a pub and stumble home singing 'Oh Danny Boy.' Then, after the wake you have to deal with a hangover on top of all those difficult feelings. It's an emotional mess.
Booze doesn't help. It prolongs the mourning period and makes recovery from the death of a loved one a lot more painful. So, why do we do it?
Unfortunately death is something all us sober folks will face at some stage. Death is part of life, we will lose people. So, how do you handle it as a sober person? Should you even go and risk your sobriety or are there other ways that you can remember someone without getting three sheets to the wind - blotto.
On Sober Awkward we like to talk about the hard stuff, (not whiskey!) plan for unexpected situations and confront emotions (and talk a little bit too much about Hamish's sheep fetish - say no more.) but we hope by digging deep into the more difficult aspects of life, we can help you feel stronger in your sobriety and help you approach the death of a loved-one without the risk of relapse
So why are funerals and wake so boozy? Is it ok not to go? and how would the person that dies feel if you said 'No' to raising a glass at their send off?
Find out in this slightly more serious episode of Sober Awkward.

Wed, 09 Oct 2024 - 11min - 214 - Cigarettes and Alcohol
It's time to take a trip down memory lane and think about the first drags on mates soggy cigarette, reminisce about couging up your guts on the school bus and recollect you first ever spliff build! Why did we do it? Why did we think it was cool to smoke, was it simply to look cool in front of our peers or because a bottle of 'White Lightening cider' tends to flush smart decision making down the lavatory?
Today Vic and Hame are going to find out why people that drink are more likely to smoke and why combining the two is so bad for you. They'll reveal their own smoking histories, discover if the damage done is repairable and determine if we drank to smoke and smoked to drink?
They also talk about porn mags and an obsession with Zippo lighters! It's the usual mix of drivel and science.
Enjoy!

Wed, 02 Oct 2024 - 17min - 212 - Getting Loaded with James Brown: Founder of Loaded Magazine
Nobody has moulded the UK magazine culture quite as much as James Brown.
His CV makes for some impressive reading - at 22 he was the Features Editor of the NME, he founded the iconic Loaded Magazine at just 27 and would go onto work at GQwhere he started their now infamous 'Man of the Year Awards' and gave an unknown chef by the name of Jamie Oliver his first food column.
More impressively, he negotiated all of this whilst dealing with the unthinkable trauma of the suicide of his mother and an addiction to drugs and alcohol.
His book Animal Housereads like the British version of Wolf of Wall Street. Give enough free drugs and booze to an excitable group of succesful 20 somethings in London in the 90s and just see what happens!
In amongst the wild stories is a inspiring story about overcoming both trauma and addiction.
The James that Hamish got to meet was retrospective, wise, kind and a formidable storyteller.
Like us, he is not here to tell anyone how to live their lives. His life story is one to be shared. What you choose to do with the lessons that he has learnt is totally up to you!
Sit back and enjoy the wonderful James Brown!

Wed, 25 Sep 2024 - 16min - 210 - So, What Really Happens in Therapy? Part 2
Following on from last week's extended episode about therapy... here is Part Two!
Today Vic and Hamish want to focus on reaching out for help. They’ll share what happens in a therapy session and why it can help you move on from bad habits. Now, this isn’t going to be easy because of course all practitioners do things differently but what they will try to do, in their very own awkward way, is to uncover why finding the right person could be the key to a long sober life, how having patience is a must and find out why men in particular find it hard to reach out.
They hope by the end of this episode you'll decide to reach out and find someone to chat to. Sober Awkward wants to give you the confidence to pick up the phone, or fill in that online form and stop putting it off. Todays the day that you decide to stop failing to solve all your problems by yourself..... and start accepting some support because not only will you feel better – everyone around you will benefit too.
They also have a chat about relationships, wearing bonnets and sticking fruit and vegetables up bottoms. It's riveting stuff!

Wed, 11 Sep 2024 - 18min - 206 - Can Drinking Alcohol in Early Pregnancy Harm the Baby?
Foetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs)
What are FASD's?
Is it safe to have any level of alcohol when pregnant?
How does it affect the unborn baby?
How and when is it diagnosed?
These are questions Vic and Hamish should have probably found the answers to a long time ago, but like many people, they both chose to ignore the facts about FASD and live in hope that it wouldn't happen to them. Silly really.
FASD a condition, or range of conditions, that we've all heard of, but for some reason don't take too seriously. We presume we shouldn't drink when trying for a baby but make excuses....'Surly, one won't hurt?' So, today is about facts, finding out what it is and how alcohol consumption can have impact on a baby during the first trimester.
As you may have guessed... neither of these two buffoons know much about anything, so, they have invited on an incredible guest, Sophie. Sophie has lived lived experience of FASD after exposing her unborn child to alcohol in early gestation and today discusses her own experience of living with the guilt and shame that comes alongside this diagnosis. She also chats about how it affects her sons daily life, the challenges, the wins and how gaining more knowledge about FASD has made their relationship closer.
This episode is for anyone that has ever wondered about this condition or is essential listening if you are trying for a baby.

Wed, 04 Sep 2024 - 17min - 204 - Alcoholism: The Only Disease That You Recover Stronger From
We don't judge anyone on where and from whom they get their inspiration from!
What inspired us this week came from a man who has also done some terrible things to his cock in the name of comedy...Jackass's very own Steve O.
He made a fair point about how alcoholism is the only disease that you recover stronger from.
Hame and Vic discuss whether they felt as if they had the 'disease' of alcoholism and explore the truth to this statement whether you do or not!
Vic also shares a harrowing truth about where she 'clips' her toenails and updates us all on which STIs she is currently riddled with.

Wed, 28 Aug 2024 - 13min - 202 - Millie Mackintosh: Navigating the Difficulties of a Second Year's Sobriety
Millie Mack is Back!
After sitting down with Hame for a chat on her 1 year soberversary, we thought we would do it all over again to celebrate her 2nd year of being alcohol-free.
The second year is not always an easy one and Millie has felt the full spectrum of what that can feel like. In this conversation, Hame and Millie discuss the return of her anxiety, panic attacks and depression. The difficulty she felt in returning to the medication which she thought she had left behind forever and the struggles she has had with her relationship with food. Plus, Millie share the relative relief she felt at being diagnosed as ADHD.
It's not all doom and gloom though! They had a laugh discussing Millie's tools for navigating a fear of flying without alcohol and share tips on how to make dance floors less frightening!
We cannot thank Millie enough for her honesty and vulnerability in this conversation. As you will hear Millie is as strong as ever in her sobriety and has big plans for 2025!
As ever, please pass this episode onto someone who needs to hear it most.

Wed, 21 Aug 2024 - 18min - 200 - Drink Driving - Why One Standard Drink is One too Many
Trigger Warning - We discuss drink driving throughout.
Drink Driving - The government rules are that you can have one drink and drive, but what happens once that one is down the hatch - are you still able to make smart choices and not have another?
Vic got behind the wheel when under the influence in her early 20's. She ended on in jail for the night. The experience had impact, but not enough to stop her drinking. Today she chats about what went down that night and the humiliation involved when doing something so stupid. They will also talk to Penny, a mum who crashed a car and faced the shame and embarrassment of being in the local paper and how the incident helped her turn her life around.
We hope today you sober awkward people out there will learn a little bit about why people drink and drive, the impact it has on their lives and the lives of the people around them. we’ll talk about the amount you have to drink to make driving a danger and if there is anything that can be changed to stop people getting in the car when under the influence.
Note - there are not as many knob jokes as usual

Wed, 14 Aug 2024 - 16min - 198 - Enticed by the Craft Beer Industry
This episode felt like a great betrayal to even contemplate writing!
But when a listener reached out and asked to us to take closer look into the craft beer industry...we did just that!
I was a HUGE fan of all things craft beer before I went sober. They felt rebellious, cool, they seemingly tasted better, were slightly more expensive, always stronger in their alcohol content and were always served by trendy looking blokes with beards, moustaches and tiny beanie hats!
Was this just effective marketing or is there something a little darker about this booming industry?
To be fair, as you will soon find out Vic and Hame will actually fall for any kind of product that is sold as being small-batch, artisan, home-made or organic!
Anyone else struggle with this?!
Enjoy the episode!

Wed, 07 Aug 2024 - 17min - 196 - How to Keep Going Year after Year...
To kick off Season 9 of the podcast (!), Hame and Vic are in a reflective mood. As Hame celebrates his 2 year soberversary, we take a look at the differences we have in our motivations to carry on.
It giving up easier for someone that never had a problem with alcohol? Is motivation easier for someone that did?
We take a deep look into where our sober 'journeys' have trodden the same path and where we veered off in different directions.
Vic and Hame also go on a slightly strange tangent discussing how much they miss conkers and what the best insult is to say with a cockney accent. But you've come to expect that by this stage!
Enjoy the podcast!

Wed, 31 Jul 2024 - 11min - 194 - The #1 Tip to a Long Lasting Sobriety That YOU Have Been Ignoring for Far Too Long!
Phrases like 'Just Focus on the Present', 'Start Your Sobriety With a Therapist' or 'Hame Your an Idiot' are said so often on Sober Awkwardthat they risk not really being HEARD.
Another one that creeps up a lot in the sobriety world is about 'The Benefits of Exercise'! No matter how many times you hear it or write it at the top of your New Year's Resolution List, for some reason it can be hard to get into the habit of it!
In this week's episode, Hame and Vic take a look at exactly WHY exercise (and no we aren't talking about joining a gym or running a marathon!) is one of the best things you can do for your sobriety.
Hame has neatly categorised the benefits into what he's calling his 'Top 6 Sobriety Strengtheners' - it isn't exactly catchy is it? We didn't think so either!
But the point is fair one!
You will not believe the benefits to your sobriety of just going for a walk everyday (ideally whilst listening to your favourite podcast...nudge, nudge, wink, wink).
The weirdest tangent of the day goes to Vic (surprise surprise) when she shares what she hates the most about being overly grateful!
Enjoy the episode!

Wed, 24 Jul 2024 - 17min - 192 - How to Keep Your Social Battery Charged in Your Sobriety
Have you noticed how your social life changes once you go sober?
The things that you used to love doing...like gurning in a field all night to repetitive trance music...aren't quite filling your cup anymore.
The whole process of re-learning what you ACTUALLY enjoy doing whilst socialising sober can take years...and a lot of boring nights feeling out of place!
In today's episode Hame and Vic attempt to fast track this lengthy process for you by sharing the lessons they have learnt the hard way!
You might find you prefer cafes to pubs or walks to raves...or you might be able to do exactly what you used to do only for a tenth of the time!
Either way, buckle in and get ready!
(Some dodgy accents once again snuck their way into this episode...we can only apologise)

Wed, 17 Jul 2024 - 16min - 190 - Is Trauma The Core of Your Over Drinking and How Can We Cure It?
If you speak to anyone that has struggled with over drinking - you don't have to do much digging to uncover some trauma.
Trauma, sadly is inevitable, but how you react to it is one of the most important steps you will take in your sobriety.
Do you face up to the emotions or do you bury them in booze and drugs?
In today's episode Vic and Hame will share the traumas they have lived through both big and small and take a look at WHY this is such an important subject inside the world of sobriety.
Enjoy the episode!

Wed, 10 Jul 2024 - 17min - 188 - Are you Lying About Your Alcohol Consumption?
Liar, liar, pants on fire!
The words still sting decades later.
None of us want to be considered a liar and yet anyone that has ever drunk has probably also lied about it.
Why you are home after your curfew?
Why you kissed your friends boyfriend?
How you blew your finger off?
Sound familiar?!
Typically our lies surrounding alcohol start small. We lie to our parents about where we are going for the night or why their bottle of vodka is now weirdly full of water.
But these lies can grow. You might start lying to your friends and your partner. You might lie to your boss about your many 'sick days' and you might even end up lying to yourself about how bad your drinking has really gotten.
These lies can catch up on you and cost you everything. From relationships to careers to the trust of those you love.
Alcohol plays it part in these lies and Vic and Hame are going to unpack exactly why that is.
Enjoy!

Wed, 03 Jul 2024 - 12min - 186 - What Does Giving Up Alcohol Add to Your Life?
Its a simple thought (of course it is...its one of Hame's) but we don't often take the time to consider whether a sober life is better than a drunk one.
When you are considering going sober you are often fixated on the negatives and the sacrifice. The social awkwardness, whether you will still be able to chat someone up or still dance like nobody's watching.
We don't think about the ways in which sobriety could enrich our lives.
In today's episode, Vic and Hame, will walk you through their experiences of the good, the bad and the awkward.
WARNING: For no obvious reason Vic tries to make this entire episode all about Barbie. I'm still not sure if the two are in any way related but hats off to her for effort!

Wed, 26 Jun 2024 - 15min - 184 - When You Feel Like You're Disappointing the Family....
Lets talk about family.
They come in many weird and wonderful shapes and sizes. They are diverse, annoying, challenging, loving, judgmental, funny and a complete and utter mess, for some unknown reason....their opinions of us matter.
We want our grandparents to see us doing well, our parents to be proud, our siblings to like us and our children to think we are heroes! It’s a lot. Even in that one sentence you can feel the pressure. Expectation is coming from all angles like arrows stabbing at your self-esteem and it can be hard to satisfy the needs of everyone…especially when you are sober.
So how do you break the news the you've given up the grog? Can you be proud about sobriety without sounding like an evangelical preacher? And whose opinion do you really care about?
Find out today on this very awkward episode.

Wed, 19 Jun 2024 - 14min - 182 - What Causes Pub Fights and One Punch Attacks?
'Oi! Are you looking at my Mrs?' 'Did you spill my pint? 'Outside now!'
We've all been there. A pub on a Friday night, booze flowing, beers getting spilled, people getting lairy. Then, everyone gets turned out onto the street at the same time. Bodies get shoved, you take a comment the wrong way and before you know it, you have an stumbly opponent rolling up their sleeves.
It can be scary and dangerous... but for some reason we accept that pub fights are just a side affect of drinking.
Today Vic and Hamish dig into drunk fighting, why did it start? Why do people do it? Whats happening in the brain? Why do we have a tendency to be more aggressive when under the influence?
As you may have guessed, these guys are lovers not fighters but even so, haven't managed to completely avoid the odd fisty pavement scuffle. Hamish even once politely stopped a fight whilst wearing a polo shirt.
They also find out about king hits, one punch attacks that lead to the deaths of many young people in Australia.

Wed, 12 Jun 2024 - 10min - 180 - Just Look How Far You've Come!
Stop! and smell the roses for once!
Vic recently had an epiphany at therapy in which she finally understood that there is no going back to who she once was! (A cheeky piss head with anxiety) It was a ground breaking moment in her sobriety. So, today she shares the importance of focusing on our achievements rather than being scared we might step back into old habits.
Hamish has recently started therapy too, the same one as Vic as it turns out, he also finds that 'Negative Bias' gets in the way of truly seeing how well he is doing in life. So today these too yapping terriers go over some ways you can learn to see what incredible changes you've made, soak up the fact that just by choosing a sober life you are someone that can overcome adversity and know that you struggles are what lead you here today.
So, say good bye to that speed induced panic attack after a house party in Brixton in 1998 on and say hello to life of never going back to who you once were.
Oh and for some reason there is a lot of human barking in this episode - no reason - just is.
Enjoy!

Wed, 05 Jun 2024 - 15min - 178 - Joe Williams: Finding My Purpose Through Sobriety
Joe Williams has lived numerous lives.
Google him and you will find out that he is an multi-sport Australian athlete and a proud Wiradjuri/Wolgalu, First Nations Aboriginal man.
But there is so much more to his story...
After succeeding in his life long dream of playing professional NRL and after a long battle with drugs, alcohol, suicidal ideations and Bi Polar disorder, Joe got sober and retired after just four seasons.
As one door closes, another opens and Joe walked into a boxing gym that would dramatically change his life.
Boxing gave him the discipline and structure that his rugby career lacked and he would go on to forge a successful career as a boxer.
From the outside everything seemed to be going smoothly, but as we have seen over and over again, going sober doesn't fix all of the underlying issues. Only doing the work can fix those!
In 2012, Joe found himself in a psychiatric ward after an attempted suicide - a day that he described as the most important day of his life.
Soon after surviving that day, Joe found his purpose which was to help people who struggle with mental illness.
Today he is an author, a motivational speaker and workshop leader who uses his lived experience and the lessons that he has learnt from the oldest living civilisation on the planet to change the lives of people all over the world.
I have no doubt his story will motivate and inspire you as much as it did me during this conversation!
Thank you Joe!

Sun, 02 Jun 2024 - 59min - 177 - I'm Not Crying, You're Crying
In this weeks retrospective episode, we take the moment that we bid our wonderful Lucy goodbye.
Without a doubt the most emotional moment of any episode.
Were we crying because Lucy was leaving or Hame was arriving though!?

Wed, 29 May 2024 - 11min - 176 - How to Make Time Your Biggest Motivator
Whether you are aware of it or not, Time is one of the biggest subjects within sobriety.
In the early days it seems to crawl past but its not long before the days on your time counting apps are accumulating faster than you can imagine.
The question is what can you do to make time a motivator rather than a constant reminder of it slowly slipping through your fingers.
Does our perception of time change when we go sober and is time simply a human constructed illusion?!
That's right...things get Meta this episode and Hame and Vic even quote Chaucer, Shakespeare, Dickens and very niche 1990s British TV shows!
Enjoy!

Wed, 22 May 2024 - 21min - 174 - Did Years of Drinking Damage My Brain?
As a society, we have had a tendency in the past to ignore a lot of frightening stats around alcohol. We just carry on getting wasted without thinking about the consequences. But is it time we started tuning into the facts?
Today Vic and Hame take a look at Alcohol related dementia, Also called Wernicke-Korsakoff, is a form of dementia related to the excessive drinking of alcohol. This affects memory, learning and other mental functions. Korsakoff’s syndrome and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome are particular forms of alcohol related brain injury which may be related to alcohol related dementia.
It affects lots of people and believe it or not - can be preventable. Stopping drinking is just the start, then it's time to engage in lots of weird and wonderful activities in order to stave off dementia as you get older. So, take a listen and find out what you should do to keep that lump of flesh in yer noggin firing on all cylinders.
There are also a few poo stories not no reason what-so-ever.

Wed, 15 May 2024 - 20min - 172 - Does Building Self-Esteem in Teens stop them Leaning on Booze?
If we raise kids that have high self-esteem will this make them less likely to drink alcohol?
This episode is for the parents out there that are feeling scared about their kids becoming teens, going off the rails, drinking cider in farmers fields and putting themselves at risk because of bad teenage choices. This is also for anyone who was this child (lets guess at about 98% of our audience!) was it your low self esteem that caused you to reach for the bottle and would life have been different if our parents had taught us to simply love who we are?
Today Vic and Hame talk about about how they felt as teens, why they rebelled and why they felt 'less than' growing up? Don't worry, after they've bored you with all their angsty teen insecurities they'll turn it all around and find out why instilling good values and some good old self worth into our kids might mean they are less likely to follow a drunken crowd and make wiser choices by themselves.
Get your biro's out Mums and Dads. This one is going to make you into a proper adult!

Vic knows a lot about beer bullies... due to the fact she was one.
She used to force, anyone that wasn't joining in with 'the fun' into downing a pint. She's not proud of it, but her past indiscretions mean that in today's episode you get deep insight as to why non-drinkers get bullied into having 'just one' and what the bullies will say to convince you to have a tipple to two.
Vic and Hamish will also go over some brilliant responses that will hopefully stop the 'Tequila Tormentors ' in their tracks. Oh, and watch out! There are some very bad cockney accents and some unrelated talk of coat hangers in bums.
It's quality stuff guys!

Wed, 01 May 2024 - 15min - 168 - Feeling Rejected? Here's What You Need to Do!
Rejection. It’s something we all feel at some point in our lives, if not at school or a family member, it can be in a relationship or when you get sober. Whenever it might happen to you, there's one guarantee – it’s painful.
Vic feels rejection deeply. She even feels it from people she doesn't know. Whereas Hame doesn't care too much about what others think. His strong values and self-confidence mean that if people so turn their back on him.... He can handle it without going to therapy.
But, as always on Sober Awkward, they don't have all the answers. So today, these two idiots get an expert to come on and explain what's going on in their tiny weeny brains when friendships get sticky.
Today they welcome David Watson. An expert on personal development and neuroscience.
David says,
'My core belief is simple yet profound: every individual harbours immense potential, capable of achieving anything they set their minds to. Yet, there's one potent supercomputer that often stands as the primary hurdle—the human brain. Understanding its intricacies, its unique drivers, and the lens through which it views the world is paramount. To unlock its full potential, we must learn to reprogram it, harnessing its power to work for us rather than against us. '
Intrigued? So were we. Listen why harnessing your power, knowing your values and having a 'Million Dollar Mindset' could unravel rejection once and for all.

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...

Wed, 17 Apr 2024 - 12min - 164 - Why Do Famous People Often Struggle With Addiction?
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!

Wed, 03 Apr 2024 - 20min - 160 - The Shame Shed Returns - Drunk Texting and Online Shopping
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!

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!

Sun, 24 Mar 2024 - 1h 13min - 157 - The Horrors of Drinking Holidays Past

Wed, 20 Mar 2024 - 20min - 156 - Getting to Know the Person You Were Before Booze
Sobriety can be hard at first. You feel like a weirdo, the odd one out, a party pooper. But, the good news is - the longer you do it, the easier it becomes. Part of the process is getting to know who you are without booze pumping around your precious body.
You have to meet yourself for the first time with no escape! Confront the mistakes you may have made and decide which parts of you you like and which parts can be flushed away with that last shot of Tequila.
Both Vic and Hamish have changed since they gave up drinking. Even though they both cringe at the thought of 'Self Love' these two know that getting to know the you after alcohol is one of the necessary and most rewarding parts of sober life.
So, strap yourselves in as you get to know about Vic's low opinion of herself as a drinker, how Hame manages to look in the mirror and say 'You're a ten out of ten' and finally how embracing who you are is the scaffolding to a solid, long term sober life.

Wed, 13 Mar 2024 - 7min - 154 - WARNING! How Going Cold Turkey Could Kill You!
Don't give up alcohol... Alright, maybe we are being slightly facetious.
(Anyone else get one of those word a day calendars this year...no...just me?
Giving up a serious drinking habit cold turkey can lead to some pretty awful and even fatal results.
Allow us to introduce you to the slightly terrifying world of Alcohol Withdrawal Symptom or AWS.
Firsly, this is not an excuse for you to NOT give up drinking. You will still need to do that I'm afraid. In today's episode we will guide you through exactly how you need to approach it in the safest way possible.
A lot fo Sober Awkward episodes contain the bizarre ramblings and story telling of us two muppets - but not this one!
With any luck, this one might just help save your life.

Wed, 06 Mar 2024 - 11min - 152 - Is Sobriety Boring?
It's safe to say that boredom is one of the most important topics in sobriety.
The fear of being considered boring either keeps you from trying sobriety altogether or drives you back to the booze bus after a few quiet sober nights in!
It is our mission at Sober Awkward to prove that sobriety is NOT boring!
Filling your life with authentic connections and new passions instead of hangovers and kebabs is infinitely less dull!
It's time to reassess what 'boring' means and consider why you are letting what other people think affect you at all.
Wrapping your head around this topic will set you up for the most rewarding and long lasting sobriety possible.
Enjoy!

Sun, 03 Mar 2024 - 46min - 151 - Coming out and Going Out - Alcohol and the LGBTQ+ Community
It's Sydney Mardi Gras weekend and what better way to celebrate love...than with a bonus episode of Sober Awkward!
Yes, today Vic and Hamish had a chat about alcohol in the gay community and how young LGBTQ+ people often turn to booze when isolated, experiencing low- self esteem or feelings unloved when family don't support their decision to come out. Vic delves into the history of the gay bar and find out why bars can feel like a safe haven for the community, sometimes the only place to feel accepted and how this can lead to too much partying, and Hamish, well, he spends the episode reminiscing about the time he got felt up in a hot tub with his brother.
Unfortunately, for the gay community, Vic and Hamish are straight. (Boooooo!) So they decided to have a chat with the lovely Andrew Addie about coming out, leaning on booze to cope with mental health issues, delivering lube to the masses and what it's like being the only sober at Mardi Gras.
Happy Mardi Gras Weekend Everybody!

Wed, 28 Feb 2024 - 12min - 149 - Is booze causing my Anxiety?
Anxiety is a very common problem. In fact, 30% of people will suffer from a bout of anxiety at some point in their lives.... and Vic is one of them
In todays episode Vic tries to work out if past feelings of panic were 100% caused by drinking or was it her body crying out for help? And Hamish reflects on hangovers, the feeling of humiliation after black outs and (for some weird reason) a fear of buttons.
It might sound like a load of old rubbish, and it's certainly no Huberman, but somehow they unravel how alcohol triggers anxiety, what's happening to the brain and the frightening pattern you can get stuck in when trying to 'drink away' the symptoms of anxiety.
So, if you are getting alcohol induced anxiety and can't quite seem to shift the hangziety blues - then this is the episode for you.
Enjoy.

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 - 10min - 147 - How to Still be Confident After Going Sober
We are all too familiar with the scenario...you are feeling a little nervous going into a social event so you pre-drink or get so drunk at the party that you end up topless dancing on one of the tables with your mate's auntie.
Alcohol it appears gave us confidence. It turned introverts into extroverts, and extroverts into the life and soul of the party.
Is this actually true though?!
Too many of us struggle to find our confidence in our sobriety. As a result, we go out and less and less, become hermits and eventually relapse.
The trick to a long lasting sobriety is rediscovering your confidence. Understanding that it can be rebuilt and making peace with the fact that there are some days that you might just not feel as good as others.
Here's how we approach this tricky subject in our sobrieties...
Enjoy the episode!
Today was also the first episode that we have ever filmed. If you would prefer to watch rather than listen to today's episode then just head to our YouTube page!

Wed, 14 Feb 2024 - 4min - 145 - Live interview with Jean McCarthy
What an honour to have the legendary and wonderful Jean McCarthy for our first ever interview episode recorded in front of a live audience.
Jean is a writer and recovery advocate from Alberta in Canada.
She has covered all of the bases of in the sober world.
Sober since 2011, Jean shared her story in her blog Unpickled, she has listened to the sobriety stories of hundreds of others in her Bubble Hour podcast which stretched over a fantastic 10 series and has over 5 million global downloads. She has even written 5 books on the subject!
Bubble Hourwas the first sobriety podcast Vic ever listened to - and she would go onto be one of the final guests the podcast ever had!!
Hame learnt more in one hour of speaking to Jean than he has in over 70 hours of speaking to Vic. Mind you...there were a few less sexual innuendos or references to root vegetables!
Enjoy!

Wed, 07 Feb 2024 - 8min - 143 - The Alarming Link Between Alcohol and Cancer
It's not something that people want to talk about. We choose to ignore the science and stats as we top up our glasses with Prosecco or head to the bar for another round. We never stop to take in the truth. The actual facts about Alcohol and Cancer.
Today, Vic and Hamish find out how alcohol causes cancer, whether or not it's just extreme drinkers that get it (spoiler alert - light and moderate drinkers can too!) their own experiences of family and friends diagnosis and how, as a society, we choose to ignore the scary fact that alcohol is a class A carcinogen, Thats right people! sorry to be the bearers of bad news! It sits right next to its good old mates, Cigarettes, Asbestos and ...... wait for it.....Radiation.
As you may know, these two are no Huberman's so today they have invited an expert on that has had first hand, lived experience of cancer, Kathryn Elliott. Kathryn was a binge drinker that believes her type of breast cancer was directly linked to her alcohol consumption.
It's a not so witty but very necessary episode of Sober Awkward. Trigger warning for those that have experienced cancer.

A Thousand Wasted is out!!
The day is finally here!
Vic's book is out! So we thought that we would celebrate by doing something a little different!
We got rid of the scripts and Hamish interviewed Vic about all things writing.
We begin by looking at the some of the thoughts processes behind her putting her drunken stories on paper in the first place before tackling some of the key themes of the book like friendships, parenting and feeling enough.
Hame hopes he has found the balance between reading you enough passages from the book to wet your appetite but not so many as to give too much away!
Today is a monumental day for Vic, for the podcast and for anyone who has followed and resonated with her story from day 1.

Wed, 24 Jan 2024 - 8min - 139 - FOMO - Fear of Missing Out.
You know the feeling, your mates are all getting ready for a big night out and you're not going because you've made this weird decision to give up booze. Why can they do it and you can't? It's so unfair! Instead of staying in and enjoying the time alone, you sit, worrying about what you're missing out on, will you miss something funny, a new connection, the feeling of togetherness that benders with mates bring?
Today Vic and Hamish discuss FOMO - …. anxiety that an exciting or interesting event may currently be happening elsewhere, often aroused by posts seen on social media. Is FOMO really what you think? or is it all a big fallacy, were those nights out really as good as you remember? after all - there is a reason you don't drink now.
Today they peel a layer off FOMO and discover what lies beneath this term and its a little more complicated than you think. Oh, and we find out about Janet and Steve, a couple Hamish had some special times with at 3am in a bedsit in Peckham.

Sun, 21 Jan 2024 - 45min - 138 - Under the Influence
In this weeks retrospective episode Vic looks back at the moment that ALMOST changed everything for her. It didn't. But it did give her quite a funny story...

Wed, 17 Jan 2024 - 2min - 137 - Cravings
Cravings – what they really are and how to not have them 22nd jan
In this week's episode, Hame and Vic simplify what a long-lasting healthy sobriety really boils down to.
Can you replace a bad habit with a good one and can you deal with cravings without caving in.
(Of course its not quite as simple as that but its a good place to start!)
In this week's episode you will be walked through what a craving truly is, why they have nothing to do with the alcohol itself and what you need to do combat them! We will even offer you a bit of advice should you give into one and relapse.
We can only apologise for the amount of times we collapsed into fits of giggles during this episode. Vic was jet-lagged, we hadn't seen each other in over a week and things seemed to snowball from there.
All I will say is Coca Cola and Muff, Unlucky Trousers and Vic's Mum's Feet...
You'll have to give it a listen for any of this to make sense!

Sun, 14 Jan 2024 - 45min - 136 - Lockdown Pissed Versus Lockdown Sober

Wed, 10 Jan 2024 - 6min - 135 - But, Society says drinking is normal?
Everybody does it but does that make it ok? That's the question Vic and Hamish will ry to answer, in their own 'unique' way, in todays episode of Sober Awkward.
You've heard the line before...
'I might be bad but I'm not an alcoholic.'
'Didn't I read somewhere that drinking a little red wine is good for you?'
'Everything in moderation!'
The messages that we receive in today's society about what is considered 'normal' drinking, directly opposes those that we are receiving from our doctors.
This confusion leads many of us to fall into the trap of believing what we see around us rather than what those like the World Health Organisation are saying.
In today's episode Vic and Hame take a deeper dive into this gap...not that like you filthy animals...although Vic does admit to having wank on her head throughout this episode.
Don't know what that means? Nor do we!
Enjoy!

Wed, 20 Dec 2023 - 4min - 128 - In the Summertime...(or wintertime!)
The sun is out, (or if it's snowing where you are) the change of season seems to be a good excuse to get pissed. The sky is blue, there's not a cloud to spoil the view and it boozy....
Don't worry, Vic and Hamish haven't caved in to a coldie quite yet, but there is a whiff in the air, and it smells like someones got a stubby and a sausage sizzle on the go. Yes it's that time of year here down under - Summer.
Could the very triggery months ahead break your sober snap?
Let's face it when summer comes, so does alcohol. It rains down at every outdoor gig, pub garden and picnic. For sober people, going onto Summer can feel really scary, its like coming out of hibernation and having to confront your fears face on. The pressure to drink, fit in and enjoy the weather are never higher. So, what do you do... keep hiding? or grab a sunhat, an af drink and join in?
Vic and Hamish are here to tell you to about their Summers as boozers and share what it's like now, no longer getting hammered in a heatwave.
