Family Traits and Boozy Habits: Vic and Hamish on Nature vs Nurture
“I understand that had an influence on me, but when it came down to it- and I knew that I wanted to change, the only way I was going to do that was say: it's my fucking problem and I've got a bloody well deal with it.”
Ever wondered if your love for a night out is inherited or if you were just born to be the life of the party? Vic and Hamish, the dynamic duo behind 'Sober Awkward', dive into this very question in their episode on generational drinking habits. With their trademark humor and candidness, they whip up a 'pie chart of fuckupery' to explore what really drives people to overindulge.
They dig into their own family histories, examining how ingrained traits and environments shaped their drinking behaviors. Is it nature, nurture, or just the company you keep? Vic and Hamish take a hard look at their pasts, owning up to their mistakes and discussing how their decision to go sober could influence future generations. They also tackle the tricky task of navigating social events without a drink in hand and highlight the surprising creativity that sobriety can unleash.
This episode is a mix of laughs, deep reflections, and practical advice for anyone questioning their relationship with alcohol. Tune in for a fresh perspective on the age-old nature vs nurture debate and see how Vic and Hamish are turning their lives around, one sober day at a time.
