Summary
Today it's all about the people. The ones you surrounded yourself with when drunk, and when newly sober. Vic and Lucy hid amongst heavy drinkers for most of their boozy lives. It's how they avoided confronting their own issues. But now, they are both loud and proud sober women.... but it hasn't all been plain sailing. They both still find it challenging being around people that drink and it's hard navigating old friendships in which alcohol was the only common denominator. So, how do you stay friends with people that no longer socialise in the same way you do? and is it really possible to live with a heavy drinker and get sober? On this episode you'll find out why sobriety has to be a solo endeavour and why your changes could open the sobriety door to the people around you.
