Summary
"Just have one!"
"Come on! The 'old' you would have done it!"
"You can sleep when your dead!"
Sounds familiar right?
Peer pressure and drinking have gone hand-in-hand since day one.
Whether it's the pressure to drink for the first time or to break your sobriety in the name of 'having a good time'! Vic and Hamish are both guilty of using peer pressure and giving in to it over the course of their lives.
In this weeks episode, you'll learn about what peer pressure really is, why it affects us so much and what tools you can use to overcome it.
Sadly, our friends can be one of the biggest threats to our sobriety. Hopefully, by the end of this episode - you will feel prepared to tackle peer pressure head on and empowered enough to say no!
