What You Might Be Called When You Quit Drinking

Ever thought about the labels people slap on you when you quit drinking? Vic and Hamish dive into this sticky subject in their latest episode of Sober Awkward. They explore the wide array of names and identities you might face when you decide to go sober, from the dreaded 'alcoholic' to the light-hearted 'sober curious'. Why do people feel the need to define your sobriety, and how do these labels shape your self-perception?

The duo tackles these questions with their usual mix of humour and honesty. They share personal stories, like Vic's journey from being labelled a 'party girl' to embracing her new identity, and Hamish's thoughts on the term 'problem drinker'. They also discuss how some labels can be empowering while others can be downright damaging. Ever been called a 'boring twat' for not drinking? Vic and Hamish have, and they have plenty to say about it.

This episode is a rollercoaster of laughs and deep reflections, perfect for anyone navigating the tricky waters of sobriety. By the end, you'll have a fresh perspective on the words that define us and maybe even a few new labels to try on for size. Tune in for a dose of support, humour, and a whole lot of awkwardness.
