The Moderation Myth: Vic and Lucy's Hilarious Take on Sobriety
“Every time I go out, I'm just going to drink and I'm going to get drunk, because I never thought that, because I knew somewhere deep inside that wasn't the right thing to do- to go out and just get absolutely plastered.”
Why is it so hard to stop after that first drink? Vic and Lucy from 'Sober Awkward' are here to tackle the big question: why can’t we be 'Normal Drinkers' no matter how good our intentions? This episode dives deep into the murky waters of moderation. Is it all down to science, cultural habits, or are some people just wired to overdrink? For years, both Vic and Lucy tried to moderate their drinking with zero success.
Ever wondered how long you can keep failing at something before admitting you need help? Well, these two have some brutally honest answers, wrapped in their signature humor. Vic and Lucy share their personal tales of moderation attempts gone awry, discussing whether it's environment, culture, trauma, or even a cheeky pixie that makes stopping after one drink so tough. They also chat about the emotional rollercoaster of failing at moderation and the power of self-love in the journey to sobriety.
To top it off, they interview the author of 'The Wine O'Clock Myth', adding even more layers to the discussion. With their usual blend of laughs and candid confessions, Vic and Lucy make this episode both entertaining and enlightening. Whether you’re struggling with moderation yourself or just curious about the sober life, this episode promises a fresh perspective on why moderation is harder than it seems.
