Summary
Let's talk about making sober mates and boundaries.
When you get sober sometimes friendships change. Some people surprise you by being supportive and sticking by you, while others find your changes hard to handle and disappear from your life. In part two of the friendship episodes, Vic and Hame have a chat about boundaries. Why it's vital to learn what they are and how you can implement them in your new sober life and they give you some great tips on why having a few mates that don't drink will support your endeavour to no longer get blotto.
Today on Sober Awkward Vic and Hame are going to have a chat about the intricacy of friendships and how they have navigated this tricky and emotional part of sobriety. So, grab your headphones and get your walking shoes on and join Vic and Hamish for a stroll into what friendships are worth keeping and which ones you need to kick to the curb!
