Summary
Today, Vic and Hame have a quick chat about the importance of being loud and proud in sobriety, why your voice is significant and how telling the world you story will help others that come after you.
Then, stay tuned to hear the recording of Vic's speech at the Byron Theatre. Hear how she faced her fears of public speaking and told her story. Vic, describes in detail what it was like to realise she needed help to quit booze, and the affect her drinking had on her mental health... and her family.
Grab some tissues guys -This one is a tear jerker!
Don't forget to tune in on Christmas Eve and New Years day for two very special episodes - One to make sure you don't give into cravings and another one for those feeling hungover and in need of change.
