How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? Join Vic and Hamish on 'Sober Awkward' as they tackle the challenging question: 'Will I ever trust myself again?' With their signature humour and honesty, they explore the intricate dance of self-trust after years of broken promises and panic attacks. Vic shares candidly about her past struggles with alcohol, revealing how she couldn't even trust herself around a jelly baby, let alone a vodka soda.
Meanwhile, Hamish offers his own experiences, highlighting the importance of small victories in rebuilding trust. Through light-hearted banter and personal anecdotes, Vic and Hamish provide a refreshing take on the serious subject of sobriety. They discuss the gradual process of regaining self-belief, emphasising that it's not about grand gestures but rather the power of micro-decisions—like choosing sparkling water over beer or leaving a party early.
The episode also delves into how alcohol erodes trust, not just with others but with oneself. Vic and Hamish unpack the emotional toll of mistrust and how it can lead to isolation. They remind listeners that rebuilding trust is a slow but rewarding journey, where each small decision becomes a vote of confidence in the new you. This episode is not just for those in recovery but for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of self-trust and personal growth.
It's an honest and engaging conversation that offers hope and practical advice for those looking to live a life without alcohol. So, how do you start trusting yourself again? Tune in to find out!
