Tomorrow we celebrate Hame's 1 year soberversary. He has achieved what he set out to do but is this our last podcast together? Will he be heading straight back to the pub or will he (and the podcast) be continuing?Vic and Hame look back on the similarities and differences of their first year's sober. They share what they have enjoyed the most and shine a light on what they have found difficult.(Who knew you could still get hangover when you were sober?!)After almost six weeks away you can sense the excitement they had in being together again. This one starts off weird and gets weirder. I'm not sure how you spent or planned on spending your 1 year soberversary but Hame ends up trashing Vic's child's bedroom. Its a long story...Enjoy!RESOURCESJOIN PATREON! and buy us a Cuppa so we can keep being awkward!https://www.patreon.comwww.cuppa.community – The Free Social Network for the Sober and Sober Curious - Sober Events – Therapy – Sobriety Courses – Sober Groups, Tea and loads more.Buy Sober Awkward T-Shirts and Tea at: www.cuppashop.com@soberawkward @[email protected] @hamishadamscairns @patreon @spotifyIf you are struggling with your relationship with alcohol please reach out to your local doctor, a therapist, AA Group or just chat to a close friend.

Vic's a classic case of a red flag ignorer. A binge drinker that disregarded every sign that she was over doing it. No matter how much they flapped, whipping her across the face, she somehow managed to push past, never having to address her over drinking. She failed at school, college, and Uni, blew a finger off with a firework, got in dangerous situations with men, was bloated, had anxiety, people worried about her... the list goes on. She simply could not see those big red warning signs!Us drinkers’ kid ourselves. We tick off the downsides of booze like they are just part and parcel of being sociable. We suffer the hangovers, cringe away the embarrassing behaviour or block out the sloppy sex with a stranger and never stop and question our conduct. Even if the red flags are flying high, we just carry on like party animals until the sun comes up. So why do we ignore red flags and how do we tune into them a little earlier on? And do non-problem-drinkers like Hamish get warning signs too?Find out on this funny and insightful episode of Sober Awkward.Show NotesThis episode of Sober Awkward is sponsored by https://sarahrusbatch.com Join her July Alcohol Free challenge today!JOIN PATREON! and buy us a Cuppa so we can keep being awkward!https://www.patreon.com/user?u=81897291www.cuppa.community – The Free SocialNetwork for the Sober and Sober Curious - Sober Events – Therapy – SobrietyCourses – Sober Groups, Tea and loads more.Buy Sober Tea! www.cuppashop.com@soberawkward @drunkmummysobermummy @cuppa.community@hamishadamscairns @patreon @spotifyIf you are struggling with your relationship with alcohol please reach out to your local doctor, a therapist, AA Group or just chat to a close friend.

In this week's episode, Hame and Vic will answer some of the world's toughest questions.Like, why do kebabs taste so good when you are drunk (or even when you are sober for that matter!)Why do we eat like pigs when hungover? Is it ok to eat food that has booze in it?You might be thinking why are we talking about food in a sobriety episode?Well Hame and Vic have been busy researching and have found undeniable evidence (eat your heart out Huberman) that links food and booze.We have stumbled across a newfound love of food in our sobriety which has made Vic a terrible restaurant customer and turned Hame from the worst cook on the planet to a self-titled Hamie Oliver.(And did we mention that we are both sugar free now?

If we truly want to learn about what makes a substance addictive - we first need to educate ourselves on Dopamine.In this week's episode Hame and Vic will delve a little further than 'it is the happy hormone'!They will look at the role it plays in our drinking years, why we don't always feel amazing in the initial stages of sobriety and the importance of finding healthy dopamine substitutes in our sobriety.(Yes chocolate does give us a hit of dopamine but other options are available!)EPISODE NOTESThe book that inspired this episode is 'Dopamine Nation' by Dr Anna Lembke.RESOURCESJOIN PATREON! and buy us a Cuppa so we can keep being awkward! https://www.patreon.com/user?u=81897291www.cuppa.community – The Free Social Network for the Sober and Sober Curious - Sober Events – Therapy – Sobriety Courses – Sober Groups, Tea and loads more.Buy Sober Awkward T-Shirts and Tea at: www.cuppashop.com@soberawkward @[email protected] @hamishadamscairns @patreon @spotifyIf you are struggling with your relationship with alcohol please reach out to your local doctor, a therapist, AA Group or just chat to a close friend.

Being lonely and isolated is unfortunately a common feeling when going sober. People get scared of going out and facing the alcohol drenched world, so stay in watching TV, going to bed early and getting a little too cosy. (Guilty!)But, staying in too much after giving up the grog is a problem. It can lead to loss of friendships, anxiety, loneliness and relapse.Believe it or not, Vic gets very lonely during the week. She doesn't want to bother friends that are busy and working from home adds a layer of sober isolation to her life... Hame on the other hand, is getting a bit too comfortable within his family unit and is loving the early bedtimes -he thinks staying in is the new cool....So, today Vic and Hamish want to discuss why making a triumphant return to the social world is imperative to staying sober! Putting yourself out there, no matter how awkward, will mean don't risk isolation and go on to thrive in your sobriety.You will also get to find out what's coming up in series 6 - Enjoy!RESOURCESJOIN PATREON! and buy us a Cuppa so we can keep being awkward!https://www.patreon.com/user?u=81897291www.cuppa.community – The Free Social Network for the Sober and Sober Curious - Sober Events – Therapy – Sobriety Courses – Sober Groups, Tea and loads more.Buy Sober Awkward T-Shirts and Tea at: www.cuppashop.com@soberawkward @[email protected] @hamishadamscairns @patreon @spotifyIf you are struggling with your relationship with alcohol please reach out to your local doctor, a therapist, AA Group or just chat to a close friend.

(Well, until it causes serious mental health issues, anxiety and Psychosis. It was fun though. Wasn't it? )On todays Sober Awkward Vic and Hamish delve int the controversial topic of party drugs, hallucinogenics and the trending term 'Cali-Sober.' What is Cali-Sober and does choosing this path when Alcohol-free risk all the work you've done?Vic is a firm believer in being 100% sober from all mind altering substances yet Hame could be persuaded to head to the Amazon to puke his ego into the lap of a shaman. Either way, they both agree that people with predisposed tendencies to over-do the things they enjoy, might be dangerous. Adding drugs to the after party could be a slippery slope back into addiction.Today the guys discuss their own relationships with drugs and Hame tries to convince Vic that Craig David is the King of garage music.

Today Vic and Hame delve into the more spiritual ways to heal from long term alcohol dependancy. Can new age methods help restore your mental and emotional health when in recovery? And do any of these practices actually work?Vic is not a believer in the woo woo side of life, so today Hame has some convincing to do.They begin by revealing some of the more awkward run-ins with the oneness and explain how Vic's science brain makes her a pessimist about anything slightly off the reality scale. She's a miserable cynic when entering any environment in which people are discussing chakras, crystals or singing bowls.They chat about yoga meditation, tapping, snail rehab and religion in sobriety. Why in AA they often refer to God and does that mean if you don't believe you can't join? find out in this very enlightening episode.Get your Birkenstocks at the ready, it's time to feel the woo woo and guru it anyway.Show Noteswww.soberawkward.comVideo of laughing people - https://youtu.be/18ik7ToMtxsVideo of tv host laughing at man with funny voice - https://youtu.be/Ofsh88q-57MResourcesJOIN PATREON! and buy us a Cuppa so we can keep being awkward!https://www.patreon.com/user?u=81897291www.cuppa.community – The Free Social Network for the Sober and Sober Curious - Sober Events – Therapy – Sobriety Courses – Sober Groups, Tea and loads more.Buy Sober Tea! www.cuppashop.com@soberawkward @[email protected] @hamishadamscairns @patreon @spotifyIf you are struggling with your relationship with alcohol please reach out to your local doctor, a therapist, AA Group or just chat to a close friend.

Be it pens, badges, a glass of bubbly or a full blown house sit - Hame and Vic love a freebie!But what has that got to with sobriety, we hear you cry out?!Inspired by a recent complimentary trip they took to Melbourne where they were 'wined and dined' (so to speak), they realised just how hard it to say no to a freebie.Vic broke her sugar free challenge and the slightest mention of cheese cake whilst the inner-stings in Hame tried to barter with him that there are no down sides to free alcohol if you gave it up to save money in the first place.Over the course of this episode you will learn why freebies are so difficult to say no to, the risk they give to your sobriety in the first year in particular and why Vic tends to lie and complain in return for a any kind of goodie.They also struggle to think of any 'treat' that isn't bad for you in some way.

Banning alcohol? It seems barely believable. But from 1920-1933 that is exactly what happened in America.But was it successful and would it work today?Would the world be a better place if alcohol never even existed? Have we now gone to a stage where we have gone too far down the path and any ban on alcohol would cause a riot?These are some of the important questions that Hame and Vic will tackle this episode.You will also hear their answers to the less important ones like why Vic has an irrational hate of emus and Hame thinks we should be naked more often.It's a boozy history lesson with a weird Sober Awkward twist!

But, have you ever wandered the impact alcohol consumption has on paramedics and nurses?Vic never considered how blowing her finger off affected others, or that it was 100% preventable.

Vic and Hamish get emails every week from people asking 'Is it ok to eat a bar of chocolate every night instead of drinking wine?' Well, today instead of guessing the answer, they have actually done a bit of Sober Awkward research to find out why sober people eat more sugary sweets, what it's doing to your body and is sugar ok in moderation?For some giving up drinking is about overcoming an addiction, for others it’s a lifestyle choice but either way, it’s all about health...mental and physical. So, how come once we give up one thing - we tend to think it’s alright to dabble in another – sugar being one of the main naughty vices in which we indulge.Vic loves chocolate and Hame has a sneaky habit of buying cheap Mars Bars when no one is looking. They are both guilty of leaning on sweet treats since giving up the grog. So, today in Sober Awkward they want to find out if its ok to gobble on a Jelly Baby or two and is eating a packet of biscuits instead of downing 5 pints of Lager actually better for you?ResourcesDr Robert Lustig's book, Fat Chance: The Hidden Truth About Sugar, Obesity and Disease,JOIN PATREON! and buy us a Cuppa so we can keep being awkward!https://www.patreon.com/user?u=81897291www.cuppa.community – The Free SocialNetwork for the Sober and Sober Curious - Sober Events – Therapy – SobrietyCourses – Sober Groups, Tea and loads more.Buy Sober Tea! www.cuppashop.com@soberawkward @drunkmummysobermummy @cuppa.community@hamishadamscairns @patreon @spotifyIf you are struggling with your relationship with alcohol please reach out to your local doctor, a therapist, AA Group or just chat to a close friend.

Are you someone that values your sleep?Or are you a parent who day dreams about nights that you 'slept through' or had a 'lie in'?!Whichever you count yourself as - alcohol will be playing a role in affecting your sleep. No matter how much or how little you drink...In fact, not only will alcohol affect the quality of your sleep - it also plays an integral role to your sobriety and your avoidance of a relapse.If you ask 1000 newly sober people what benefits they have felt in the early days of giving up the grog - we would guess that almost all of them would mention better sleep!In today's episode Hame and Vic take a deeper look into the science of sleep and its importance to our mental and physical health. We certainly aren't scientists but we can confirm we are far nicer people to be around after a good nights sleep. We do not miss the room spinning, the loo seat naps or the 3am wake ups feeling wide awake and unable to get back down. We also binge on a lot less chocolate and a little less Netflix when we aren't feeling exhausted and hungover.(We promise that this will not be as boring as most of the conversations two parents have about sleep! Although we have had many conversations like this dull enough to put us to sleep so ... silver linings and all that!)Enjoy the episode!This episode of Sober Awkward is brought to you by leading Grey Area Drinking coach Sarah Rusbatch.

It's Vic's special day! 5 years since she gave up the grog and it's taken her all that time to learn how to best celebrate sobriety milestones.Today Vic and Hamish discuss plans for their sober birthdays, talk way too much about turnips and uncover why 'going large' on your soberversary can leave you and your piggy back a little disappointed and ensure your soberversary goes off with less of a bang... and more of a quiet high five with someone that cares.Vic also reflects on the past 5 years and Hamish shares those all important dates from his sober app (and probably too much information about Ed Sheeran's foot).Anyway.....whether you are about to celebrate 30 days, 100 days, or the big 1 year - this episode will give you food for thought. A hot air balloon ride perhaps? A long walk? a dinner out? or a very expensive massage from an aggressive lady? It's up to you.Come and feel the sober birthday awkward and do it anyway!Tickets for show - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sober-awkward-live-recording-tickets-545661968637?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=escbResources JOIN PATREON! and buy us a Cuppa so we can keep being awkward! https://www.patreon.com/user?u=81897291www.cuppa.community – The Free Social Network for the Sober and Sober Curious - Sober Events – Therapy – Sobriety Courses – Sober Groups, Tea and loads more.Buy Sober Tea! www.cuppashop.com@soberawkward @[email protected] @hamishadamscairns @patreon @spotifyIf you are struggling with your relationship with alcohol please reach out to your local doctor, a therapist, AA Group or just chat to a close friend.

Living out of home for the first time...No rules...Hardly any lectures...And a heap of borrowed cash? Sounds like the ingredients for a good time right?!Although for some the University years are when you discover what it truly is you want to do with your life. You work hard, get good grades and kickstart your careers from there.For Hame and Vic (amongst many others!) - this was not the case.These can be heavy drinking years.

Grief and alcohol have sadly been intrinsically linked for as long as we can remember.It has somehow become as commonplace to get drunk at a funeral as it is at a wedding!?Losing somebody you love can be one of the toughest things you can go through in your life. As a result, many sadly turn to the bottle. It might cost you your sobriety or it might be the trigger that begins an unhealthy relationship with alcohol altogether.Here's the news flash though - alcohol will not help 'take the edge off' your grief.Grief is too big, too all encompassing for alcohol to 'fix'.In fact, it will only lengthen the painful process. Grief must be experienced sober in order to be fully processed.We aren't saying it's easy. And we certainly aren't judging anyone that over drinks during a traumatic period of their life.Vic and Hamish are instead here to try and learn lessons from those who have experienced grief more than them.We share some of the tips and tricks we have picked up along the way.And Hamish takes a look at how we might improve our skills in helping others through their grief so they never feel the need to resort to drinking.ResourcesHamish's grief podcast is called 'Extraordinary Ordinary People'JOIN PATREON! and buy us a Cuppa so we can keep being awkward!https://www.patreon.com/user?u=81897291www.cuppa.community – The Free SocialNetwork for the Sober and Sober Curious - Sober Events – Therapy – SobrietyCourses – Sober Groups, Tea and loads more.Buy Sober Tea! www.cuppashop.com@soberawkward @drunkmummysobermummy @cuppa.community@hamishadamscairns @patreonIf you are struggling with your relationship with alcohol please reach out to your local doctor, a therapist, AA Group or just chat to a close friend.

Did you drink to fit in? Is this because you wanted people to like you? Does it matter?After a few months of getting sober the true you begins to sneak out from under that big safe layer of booze. You begin to question yourself and seek answers as to why you act in the way you do. It's confronting, and very exciting. Finding authenticity and letting go of being a people pleaser are both part of this process.In this vulnerable episode of Sober Awkward, Vic reveals some of her more extreme people pleasing ways and why she feels being overly friendly can leave her swimming in a mucky pond of disappointment. Whereas Hamish thinks people pleasing is a form of good manners, a need to be kind to others and fit in to society,Either way, both Vic and Hame see that some of there intricate personality traits often mean they end up missing out on time with thier families. They are way too reliable, can never say no, or are too busy buying gifts for random strangers.So today, they are both learning on the go, trying to understand their people pleasery and step in to a world in which they no longer care what anyone thinks about them. Sound awkward? Yes! but with a few awful stories, some chat about socks and a barrel of giggles, anything is possible!ResourcesJOIN PATREON! and buy us a Cuppa so we can keep being awkward!https://www.patreon.com/user?u=81897291www.cuppa.community – The Free Social Network for the Sober and Sober Curious - Sober Events – Therapy – Sobriety Courses – Sober Groups, Tea and loads more.Buy Sober Tea! www.cuppashop.com@soberawkward @drunkmummysobermummy @cuppa.community @hamishadamscairns @patreonIf you are struggling with your relationship with alcohol please reach out to your local doctor, a therapist, AA Group or just chat to a close friend.

Sticks and stones may break my bones. But words shall never hurt me...until they do!We have all been labelled throughout our lives. Labelled in our childhoods, labelled in our drinking years and now - most probably - labelled in our sobriety.In this week's episode, Hamish and Vic, take a look at where labels originated in our society. Why not all labels are necessarily bad and how you can use them to your advantage.Ultimately, we should we aiming for a place where what people say or think of us doesn't affect us. But given that is a pretty tough place to reach - now is the time to educate ourselves on the role that labels can play in our sobriety.ResourcesJOIN PATREON! and buy us a Cuppa so we can keep being awkward!https://www.patreon.com/user?u=81897291www.cuppa.community – The Free Social Network for the Sober and Sober Curious - Sober Events – Therapy – Sobriety Courses – Sober Groups, Tea and loads more.Buy Sober Tea! www.cuppashop.com@soberawkward @drunkmummysobermummy @cuppa.community @hamishadamscairns @patreon @AcastIf you are struggling with your relationship with alcohol please reach out to your local doctor, a therapist, AA Group or just chat to a close friend.

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?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.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.Show NotesThanks to The Tap House and The Sunshine Coast Night Quarter for supplying us with the lovely Mocktail evening. https://nightquarter.com.auSober Awkward is a NOVA Entertainment Podcast.Resourceswww.cuppa.community – The Free Social Network for the Sober and Sober Curious - Sober Events – Therapy – Sobriety Courses – Sober Groups, Tea and loads more.Join ‘The Give Up Club’ on www.Cuppa.community if you’re questioning your alcohol intake.

Men and women communicate differently. Shock! Horror! You heard it here first.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.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.The effects of this on men's mental health and suicide rates are terrifying. How can we help each other through these times and re-consider the way we approach these difficult conversations?Listen and find out!Show NotesBrene Brown 'Power of Vulnerability' Ted Talk:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCvmsMzlF7oBrene Brown book that Hamish is reading ' Daring Greatly'No Lights No Lycra: https://www.nolightsnolycra.comSober Awkward is a NOVA Entertainment Podcast.Resources - www.cuppa.community – The Free Social Network for the Sober and Sober Curious - Sober Events – Therapy – Sobriety Courses – Sober Groups, Tea and loads more.Join ‘The Give Up Club’ on www.Cuppa.community if you’re questioning your alcohol intake.
