Sober Awkward

Winner - 'Best Well-Being' podcast at The Australian Podcast Awards 2023!

Have you ever woken up from a big night out and said ‘I’m never drinking again!’ Then found yourself waving $50 at a barman by Happy Hour. Well, so have Vic and Hamish. 

Join them on this hilarious and relatable podcast about being sober in a world soaked in alcohol. Each week they discuss different boozy topics and open up a shame shed of humiliating stories. Vic and Hamish bring humour and honesty to sobriety. These two ex-binge drinking, party animals tell it like it is. Vomit, one-night stands and life on the other side of their own destructive drunken behaviour.

So, if you’ve hit a wall, you're fed up with anxiety, headaches and blackouts or you just need some sober inspiration... then go put the kettle on and learn how to feel the awkward and do it anyway!

Hamish tells a few puke stories and Vic reminisces about the time she locked someone in a room for 12 hours.... don't worry it's not as bad as it sounds! They've also created a  'Shame Shed Countdown.' Stories from fans that had something to get off their chests.</p><p>They hope by the end of this episode you will be able to feel less awkward about a situation from the past and move on from any shame that was lingering around your sobriety.</p><p>Sober Awkward is a NOVA Entertainment Podcast.</p><p>Resources</p><p>Van Halen - <a href="http://www.van-halen.com">http://www.van-halen.com</a></p><p><a href="http://www.cuppa.community/">www.cuppa.community</a> – The Free Social Network for the Sober and Sober Curious - Sober Events – Therapy – Sobriety Courses – Sober Groups, Tea and loads more.</p><p>Buy Sober Tea! <a href="http://www.cuppashop.com">www.cuppashop.com</a></p><p><a href="mailto:vicandhamish@soberawkward">vicandhamish@soberawkward.com</a></p><p>Join ‘The Give Up Club’ on <a href="http://www.cuppa.community/">www.Cuppa.community</a> if you’re questioning your alcohol intake.

Peer Pressure
<p>"Just have one!"</p><p>"Come on! The 'old' you would have done it!"</p><p>"You can sleep when your dead!"</p><p>Sounds familiar right?</p><p>Peer pressure and drinking have gone hand-in-hand since day one.</p><p>Whether it's the pressure to drink for the first time or to break your sobriety in the name of 'having a good time'! Vic and Hamish are both guilty of using peer pressure and giving in to it over the course of their lives.</p><p>In this weeks episode, you'll learn about what peer pressure really is, why it affects us so much and what tools you can use to overcome it.&nbsp;</p><p>Sadly, our friends can be one of the biggest threats to our sobriety. Hopefully, by the end of this episode - you will feel prepared to tackle peer pressure head on and empowered enough to say no!</p><p>Show Notes</p><p>Sober Awkward is a NOVA Entertainment Podcast.</p><p>Resources</p><p><a href="http://www.cuppa.community/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.cuppa.community</a>&nbsp;– The Free Social Network for the Sober and Sober Curious - Sober Events – Therapy – Sobriety Courses – Sober Groups, Tea and loads more.</p><p>Join ‘The Give Up Club’ on&nbsp;<a href="http://www.cuppa.community/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.Cuppa.community</a>&nbsp;if you’re questioning your alcohol intake.

The Big Event
<p>Does the thought of a sober Near Year’s Eve fill you with dread? Can you imagine attending a festival with nothing to lean on except a can of fizzy water? And how on earth do sober people survive Mardi Gras without downing a few shots of Tequila before heading to the club?</p><p>Going to big events ‘totally-tea-total’ can certainly change the vibe. It’s overwhelming watching everyone around you get wide-eyed and wasted while you tap your foot and plaster a fake sober smile across your face. If you are newly sober those first shindigs can be anxiety inducing and overwhelming…. But the good news is, the longer you are sober and the more you go, the easier big events will become.</p><p>So, before you go weak at the knees and find yourself queued up at the bar with the rest of the shitfaced revellers, listen as Vic and Hamish attempt to stop you in your tracks, get you prepped and make sure if you do go out you do it in style, with a positive attitude, and a belt full of sober tools to get you past that grumpy bouncer.</p><p>Show Notes</p><p>Thanks to The Tap House and The Sunshine Coast Night Quarter for supplying us with the lovely Mocktail evening. <a href="https://nightquarter.com.au">https://nightquarter.com.au</a></p><p>Sober Awkward is a NOVA Entertainment Podcast.</p><p>Resources</p><p><a href="http://www.cuppa.community/">www.cuppa.community</a> – The Free Social Network for the Sober and Sober Curious - Sober Events – Therapy – Sobriety Courses – Sober Groups, Tea and loads more.</p><p>Join ‘The Give Up Club’ on <a href="http://www.cuppa.community/">www.Cuppa.community</a> if you’re questioning your alcohol intake.

Bottling Things Up
<p>Men and women communicate differently. Shock! Horror! You heard it here first.</p><p>In this episode Hamish and Vic have an honest and open conversation behind what might be causing men to struggle when it comes to opening up emotionally.</p><p>It is no secret that vulnerabilities are still considered a weakness rather than a strength by many and this might be the reason behind so many men turning to alcohol as a means of opening up or numbing out their feelings.</p><p>The effects of this on men's mental health and suicide rates are terrifying.

Vic used to collect rubbers...not those ones...don't ask! Whilst Hamish walks you through his 'Goals Tree' with all its sober hobby branches. It may only make sense to him.
