Sober Curious encapsulates anyone that has ever questioned their relationship with alcohol.

The sober curious movement encourages individuals to recognise the often unhealthy habits that are associated with alcohol,

like rolling around on the floor and a bush and all of those other things that we've all done in a past and how that might negatively impact your lives i mean having thorns in your bottom hamish

is going to have a negative impact on your life so the questioning leads sober curious individuals

into seeking answers and hopefully seeking the help and support they deserve be that getting therapy

going to aa or just talking to a mate about it like I am now. That's right. It's important to remember we're not only talking to those of you who may be fighting an addiction to alcohol. We're talking really to everyone. So I guess that's why I'm here, Vic. I must be sober curious. Yes, I love it that you're identifying as that, Hamish. You are, and it's really

wonderful. It means you care enough about yourself, your family and your body to consider

another way. So why do you think you want to give up drinking, Hamish? Is it because you act like

a total twat when you're wasted? I've got plenty of twatishness stories to share of the course

this week. We like a bit of twattery. I know. This is a safe space for twattery.

It certainly is.

You've shared more than most. Yeah. But I guess for me, like I said, the main reason is this becoming a new dad. To speak in sort of man language for a second. Right. Okay. Interesting. This is new to me. Well, I've always used to want to be a footballer, right? I grew up once in to be a footballer. Football is like an elite athlete.

I thought this word elite, I want to be the best of the best.

I remember thinking... used to want to be a footballer, right? I grew up wanting to be a footballer. Footballer is like an elite athlete.

I thought this word elite, I want to be the best of the best. I remember thinking, if I was ever a footballer, I would never drink alcohol and I would never, I'd always eat the right things and I'd be the model professional. Yeah. And then you don't become a footballer, right? Yeah. Because I'm not that good at football. And then every other job, you sort of don't give yourself the same standards.

Okay, right.

So you're just kind of plodding along because you haven't achieved that original goal. Exactly. And becoming a father, I was like, this is something I really want to be elite at. Okay. Right. I want to be the best possible dad I can be. And I think giving up booze is the least I can do, you know. It's, I don't want to be hung over around a child. And I think becoming a good dad is as much about being a good husband. And again, being hungover is not helpful to my wife, you know. I want to be the best possible husband so that she can be the best possible mum as well. Yeah. So I think that's probably been the biggest driving factor.

There are other things like, I think it will improve my career. It's obviously a good move for my health. But I guess more than anything, it's kind of a challenge. Can I, can I, can I, is it something I can do? It's breaking the mould. Most people drink, right? Yeah. This is going against the grain. it's always good to set yourself little challenges

and I think this one is as good as any.

Yeah, and I think you're against the grain. It's always good to set yourself little challenges,

and I think this one is as good as any. Yeah, and I think you're in the right place for it. I mean,

you've got accountability now. You've got to give up drinking, otherwise we're all going to be on your
