Summary
Today the ladies welcome Sarah Drage to the Sober Awkward podcast. Sarah lost her dad to alcohol misuse disorder in 2017 and is bravely sharing her story to raise awareness and de-stigmatise alcoholism in society. Her first-hand experience of losing someone to alcoholism highlights the damage alcohol does and how the shame of addiction stops people reaching out for support.
Vic and Lucy are out of the studio today due to Lucy being stuck down with Covid, but with the help of Alan, and the wonders of technology, they have managed to piece together this heart wrenching episode.
