Sober Awkward

Ulrika Jonsson - ‘Getting To Know Myself Now I’m Sober!’

Jan 19, 2025

Sober Awkward was lucky enough to pin down one of British TV's most recognisable faces - the incredible Ulrika Jonsson - for an honest and heartfelt chat about her first seven months of sober life.


In this inspiring episode, Ulrika spills the sober beans with Hamish, sharing everything from the pivotal day she decided to quit drinking to the profound changes she’s experienced since. She opens up about using alcohol to mask trauma, the surprising freedom she’s discovered in sobriety, and the awkward—but empowering—experience of dating sober at 57.


In a particularly moving moment (especially for Vic when editing), Ulrika reflects on how a single Instagram post by Vic helped her release the shame tied to over-drinking and embrace a transformative new chapter of self-discovery.


This is a must-listen episode for anyone seeking inspiration, courage, and proof that it’s never too late to rewrite your story.
