Sobriety Capital – Gathering Your Tools for the Road Ahead

This week on Sober Awkward, we’re diving into a big, juicy topic: Sobriety Capital. What is it, why does it matter, and how do you build it?

Sobriety capital is all about what you put in place to create a long, strong, and sustainable sober life. It’s the combination of your living situation, finances, emotional support, inner resources, and practical tools—the foundations that help you weather the wobbles and keep moving forward.

We’re thrilled to welcome the amazing Jean McCarthy, who pops in to explain what sobriety capital is and why it’s a game-changer when you’re ditching the drink.

Vic and Hamish then unpack what they had in place (spoiler: not a lot), what they wished they’d had, and what they slowly added to their sober toolkits over time. There’s also a surprising amount of chat about ducks, geese, and other random bird-related metaphors.

It’s a longer episode, but if you’re wondering how to prepare yourself for sober success, this one’s a must. Grab a cuppa, fluff your feathers, and get ready to build your sobriety nest. 🦆💛
