Making Up for Lost Time

from Sober Awkward

This week on Sober Awkward, Vic and Hamish take on the gut-punch topic of wasted time... all those years lost to hangovers, hangxiety, dodgy decisions, and “just one more” nights that turned into blurry weekends. From poo-in-the-bed confessions (yes, really) to real talk about shame, regret, and reclaiming your hours, they dig into how sobriety gives you back the one thing booze quietly steals - time. Expect plenty of laughs, stats that’ll make your jaw drop (spoiler: you’ve probably lost years to hangovers), and a whole lot of truth about how to use your sober clarity to build the life you were actually meant to live.It’s not about mourning the time you lost, it’s about making the most of the time you’ve got left. So, grab a sick bucket and get ready for some cheesy quotes and way too much poopy talk.Oh, and one last thing, if you can fit five Lindt balls in between each of your toes, Hamish wants to hear from you… preferably not with photos.Enjoy!💛 Resources & Links📘 Victoria’s memoir – A Thousand Wasted SundaysA brutally honest and hilarious look at motherhood, anxiety, and ditching the booze.👉 Buy the book here🎧 Listen to more Sober Awkward episodes👉 www.soberawkward.com🫖 Join The Cuppa CommunityOur private, supportive online space for sober folk👉 www.cuppa.community📘 Get the Sober Awkward GuideOur downloadable toolkit for ditching booze the awkward way.👉 The Sober Awkward Guide📱 Follow us for daily sober fun:Instagram: @soberawkwardTikTok: @soberawkwardFacebook: Sober Awkward Community for Women Hosted on Acast.
