<p>If you've been a heavy drinker for many years you might have a few war wounds, perhaps you've had a couple of hospital visits, been to the STD clinic or even suffered mental health problems due to your alcohol intake. Vic and Lucy have both suffered in different ways from being big boozers. In this episode they discuss all the different ways they put their bodies and minds at risk over the years, the dangerous situations they found themselves in, why they ignored all the red flags and how it feels now to be on the other side of the chaos. So, if you've woken up recently with a cut on your head or a stranger in your bed, then maybe it's time to stop taking risks and make some changes. A funny and insightful episode.</p><p> </p><p>Show notes</p><p>@drunkmummysobermummy</p><p>@soberawkward</p><p>email - Vic@drunkmummysobermummy.com</p><p>Blog Post - Risk -</p><p><a href="https://www.drunkmummysobermummy.com/post/_risk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.drunkmummysobermummy.com/post/_risk</a></p><p>Lucy Good - <a href="https://beanstalkmums.com.au" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://beanstalkmums.com.au</a></p><p>@beanstalksinglemums</p><p>Victoria Vanstone – <a href="http://www.drunkmummysobermummy.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.drunkmummysobermummy.com</a></p><p>Facebook Group for Sober Curious Women - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/thesobersocial" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/drunkmummysobermummy</a></p><p> </p><p>Resources mentioned:</p><p>Book of the week - Jordan P Barnes - 'One Hit Away' <a href="https://www.amazon.com.au/One-Hit-Away-Memoir-Recovery-ebook/dp/B085M78JWT" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com.au/One-Hit-Away-Memoir-Recovery-ebook/dp/B085M78JWT</a></p><p>The Big Book AA - https://www.aa.org/pages/en_US/read-the-big-book-and-twelve-steps-and-twelve-traditions</p><p>Alcoholics Anonymous - <a href="https://aa.org.au" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://aa.org.au</a></p><br><p><br></p><p> </p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
