Summary
Be it pens, badges, a glass of bubbly or a full blown house sit - Hame and Vic love a freebie!
But what has that got to with sobriety, we hear you cry out?!
Inspired by a recent complimentary trip they took to Melbourne where they were 'wined and dined' (so to speak), they realised just how hard it to say no to a freebie.
Vic broke her sugar free challenge and the slightest mention of cheese cake whilst the inner-stings in Hame tried to barter with him that there are no down sides to free alcohol if you gave it up to save money in the first place.
Over the course of this episode you will learn why freebies are so difficult to say no to, the risk they give to your sobriety in the first year in particular and why Vic tends to lie and complain in return for a any kind of goodie.
They also struggle to think of any 'treat' that isn't bad for you in some way. If you can think of one then please let us know!
