Sober Awkward

This week Vic and Lucy discuss that super-duper awkward moment you decide to tell people you no longer partake in a tipple. For some this can be one of the most difficult steps to take on this sober path, so hard in fact, that it might feel easier just to keep on drinking. Vic and Lucy describe what this moment looked like for them, give you some tips on how to reveal all and why they were both pleasantly surprised how friends and family responded. So, if you’re not quite ready to shout about sobriety from the top of the Aldi carpark, then have a listen and get some inspiration. Join them today as they too learn how to feel the awkward and do it anyway!

It's very personal and awkward moment when long-time heavy drinkers self-reflect and admit that their good old buddy booze is no longer serving them. Like so many people, both Lucy and Vic ignored numerous wake up calls and continued their destructive drinking patterns for years. But, as you’ll hear, imagining a life beyond the bottle seemed so unfathomable that they both suffered in silence until alcohol caused extreme anxiety and led to some very questionable behaviour.So, what are the signs that drinking has gone too far? When is it ok to ask for help? And what does it mean to be sober curious? This episode is all about reaching out, getting some answers and changing the cycle of destructive behaviour.SHOW NOTES:Lucy Good - https://beanstalkmums.com.au@beanstalksinglemumsVictoria Vanstone – www.drunkmummysobermummy.com @drunkmummysobermummyFacebook Group for Sober Curious Women - https://www.facebook.com/groups/thesobersocialResources mentioned:Episode 1 - Books – Sober Curious - Ruby WarringtonAlcoholics Anonymous - https://aa.org.auMental Health - https://www.mindaustralia.org.au Hosted on Acast.
