Summary
The Drugs Episode - Trigger warning - This episode contains references to recreational drug use, overdose and the impact of drugs on sobriety.
Attention whistle posseI It's time to get out your Fila trainers, pop on your hyper-colour t-shirts and strap on a bum bag because today Sober Awkward is heading back to a time when getting off your nut on drugs seemed pretty damn cool. (Well, until it causes serious mental health issues, anxiety and Psychosis. It was fun though. Wasn't it? )
On todays Sober Awkward Vic and Hamish delve int the controversial topic of party drugs, hallucinogenics and the trending term 'Cali-Sober.' What is Cali-Sober and does choosing this path when Alcohol-free risk all the work you've done?
Vic is a firm believer in being 100% sober from all mind altering substances yet Hame could be persuaded to head to the Amazon to puke his ego into the lap of a shaman. Either way, they both agree that people with predisposed tendencies to over-do the things they enjoy, might be dangerous. Adding drugs to the after party could be a slippery slope back into addiction.
Today the guys discuss their own relationships with drugs and Hame tries to convince Vic that Craig David is the King of garage music. A serious, yet honest conversation about the a topic that often gets ignored.
