"As soon as you become more conscious of what you're putting into your body from an alcohol perspective, it rolls into what you're putting into your body from a cooking perspective"
In the latest episode of 'Sober Awkward', Vic and Hamish tackle the intriguing concept of sober challenges. The duo, known for their candid humour and relatable tales, present a list of ten challenges designed to spice up the early days of sobriety. Far from being a chore, these challenges aim to transform the journey into an adventure, with each task offering a chance to boost confidence and self-belief.
Hamish kicks things off with his trademark wit, suggesting culinary exploration as a fun way to rethink what you consume now that alcohol is off the menu. Who knew sobriety could lead to a culinary rebirth? He even cheekily dubs himself 'Haymey Oliver'. Other challenges include volunteering, which taps into the joy of giving back, and trying out ice baths for a chilly dopamine boost.
