"Half of the challenge of sobriety is figuring out how the hell you celebrate without booze."
Ever wondered how small tweaks in your daily routine could lead to a massive shift in your sobriety journey? Hamish from the Sober Awkward podcast is here to spill the beans with his top ten hacks for achieving lasting sobriety. With a mix of humour and honesty, he shares how tiny adjustments can create big waves in the quest to stay sober.
From celebrating those little milestones to embracing hydration like it's going out of style, Hamish's list is packed with practical tips. He suggests celebrating each sober milestone, even if it's just a week or ten days, because who doesn't love a good celebration without the hangover? Hamish also talks about staying hydrated, and while he admits water can be a bit dull, he swears by sparkling water and encourages you to keep a bottle handy.
But it's not all about what you drink; he advises keeping an eye on your diet too. In early sobriety, sugar cravings might sneak up on you, so being mindful of what you eat can prevent energy crashes and potential triggers. Speaking of triggers, Hamish emphasises the importance of identifying them and having a plan to tackle them head-on. Whether it's a walk or a puzzle, finding distractions is key.
He also introduces the 'delay and distract' rule for handling cravings—wait 20 minutes before acting on them and do something engaging during that time. Finally, Hamish wraps up with cultivating sober hobbies and establishing a morning routine. Whether it's cold showers or morning walks, these habits can set a positive tone for your day. If you're searching for ways to enhance your sobriety journey, Hamish's tips might be just what you need.
