What You Might Be Called When You Quit Drinking

from Sober Awkward

In part two of our deep dive into labels, Hamish and Vic explore the names and identities you might encounter when you go sober. From “alcoholic" to to "boring twat" - getting sober often means facing a whole new set of labels—whether you like them or not. Why do people feel the need to define your sobriety? How do these labels impact the way we see ourselves? And most importantly, how can we reclaim the words that actually empower us? Join us as we break down the good, the bad, and the downright awkward labels that come with quitting booze, and why, at the end of the day, the only identity that really matters is the one you choose for yourself.
