Sober Awkward

Rejection. It’s something we all feel at some point in our lives, if not at school or a family member, it can be in a relationship or when you get sober. Whenever it might happen to you, there's one guarantee – it’s painful.Vic feels rejection deeply. She even feels it from people she doesn't know. Whereas Hame doesn't care too much about what others think. His strong values and self-confidence mean that if people so turn their back on him.... He can handle it without going to therapy.But, as always on Sober Awkward, they don't have all the answers. So today, these two idiots get an expert to come on and explain what's going on in their tiny weeny brains when friendships get sticky.Today they welcome David Watson. An expert on personal development and neuroscience.David says,'My core belief is simple yet profound: every individual harbours immense potential, capable of achieving anything they set their minds to. Yet, there's one potent supercomputer that often stands as the primary hurdle—the human brain. Understanding its intricacies, its unique drivers, and the lens through which it views the world is paramount. To unlock its full potential, we must learn to reprogram it, harnessing its power to work for us rather than against us. 'Intrigued? So were we. Listen why harnessing your power, knowing your values and having a 'Million Dollar Mindset' could unravel rejection once and for all.To find out more about Dave just pop him and email at dave@neurolead.net.auor head to www.neurolead.net.auJOIN PATREON! and buy us a Cuppa so we can keep being awkward!https://www.patreon.com/user?u=81897291www.cuppa.community – The Free Social Network for the Sober and Sober Curious - Sober Events – Therapy – Sobriety Courses – Sober Groups, Tea and loads more.Buy Sober Awkward T-Shirts and Tea at: www.cuppashop.com@soberawkward @drunkmummysobermummy@cuppa.community @hamishadamscairns @patreon @spotify @budsandbeadsteaIf you are struggling with your relationship with alcohol please reach out to your local doctor, a therapist, AA Group or just chat to a close friend.

If you are newly sober, we can guarantee your water intake is about to go through the roof. Tea, coffee and sparkling water are your new best friends - and that can sometimes feel a little dull!In today's episode, Vic and Hame will talk you through the benefits of increasing your water intake, tackle some of the myths surrounding the water content in alcohol and (try!) and make you feel less dull whilst ordering water in a bar.We went off on a couple of weird tangents about Binking Ginges and why this episode should be sponsored by the Shewee and for some reason Vic tried to make this episode all about pee.

As a society we see fame as something to aspire to. But is it really all it's cracked up to be?Today's episode of Sober Awkward is all about celebrity.What's it really like when managers control your every move, you have expectations of others weighing upon you, a heavy workload, people that look up to you and way too many nights in hotel rooms… where does it all lead?Today Vic and Hamish discuss the recent passing of Matthew Perry and why we lose so many talented people to addiction. Vic reminisces about some of her famous run-ins and Hame wonders if he's been missing out on some celeb snogs.As Oscar Wilde said,‘Aspirations for fame are motivated mainly by the need for validation and attention.’which unfortunately can lead many wonderful people down a path to heavy boozing.Enjoy!Show Noteshttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt27647417/ - Aaron Carter Docohttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt7357302/ - Avici Docohttps://www.imdb.com/name/nm9425078/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 - Lil Peep Docohttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt28210840/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 -Robbie Williams Docohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=tRnFHfI7WAQ - Paul McCartney singing Hey Jude - again!www.soberawkward.comJOIN PATREON! and buy us a Cuppa so we can keep being awkward!https://www.patreon.com/user?u=81897291www.cuppa.community – The Free Social Network for the Sober and Sober Curious - Sober Events – Therapy – Sobriety Courses – Sober Groups, Tea and loads more.@soberawkward @drunkmummysobermummy@cuppa.community @hamishadamscairns @patreon @spotifyIf you are struggling with your relationship with alcohol please reach out to your local doctor, a therapist, AA Group or just chat to a close friend.

We've all done it. Texted an ex, bought an inflatable shark suit and taken dick pic then sent in to your mother-in-law when pissed. Unfortunately, going live, calling, messaging, face-timing and snap chatting when tanked-up to your eyeballs on wine... are a dodgy part of this modern, technology based world. Let's face it, after a few bevvies you feel confident in what you say, spend and share. Booze means you don't care so much about consequences of your actions and well, you really did need that space age electric toilet seat at the time.Today Vic and Hame discuss the shame of waking up having texted people when under the influence and buying weird shit online when you can't even remember your own name. They will run through some intimate confessions, discuss the dangers of sharing nudes online, the mental health consequences of others seeing your drunken messages and how shopping for top hats for toads might be something you regret the next day.. confused? We are too! Ribbit!Today's episode of Sober Awkward is an opportunity to share some shame. Get it off your chest! Yes, its over to the listeners to own up to some embarrassing text messages and awkward on-line shenanigans.Enjoy the episode! RESOURCESwww.cuppa.communityJOIN PATREON! and buy us a Cuppa so we can keep being awkward!https://www.patreon.com/user?u=81897291www.cuppa.community – The Free Social Network for the Sober and Sober Curious - Sober Events – Therapy – Sobriety Courses – Sober Groups, Tea and loads more.Buy Sober Awkward T-Shirts and Tea at: www.cuppashop.com@soberawkward @drunkmummysobermummy@cuppa.community @hamishadamscairns @patreon @spotify @budsandbeadsteaIf you are struggling with your relationship with alcohol please reach out to your local doctor, a therapist, AA Group or just chat to a close friend.
