Summary
With RUOK? Day coming round last week, Vic and Hame thought they would focus not 1 but 2 episodes on the importance of therapy and the need to reach out for help.
They’ll share what happens in a therapy session and why it can help you move on from bad habits. Now, this isn’t going to be easy because of course all practitioners do things differently but what they will try to do, in their very own awkward way, is to uncover why finding the right person could be the key to a long sober life, how having patience is a must and find out why men in particular find it hard to reach out.
They hope by the end of this episode you'll decide to reach out and find someone to chat to. Sober Awkward wants to give you the confidence to pick up the phone, or fill in that online form and stop putting it off. Todays the day that you decide to stop failing to solve all your problems by yourself..... and start accepting some support because not only will you feel better – everyone around you will benefit too.
They also have a chat about wearing bonnets and sticking fruit and vegetables up their bottoms. It's riveting stuff!

| 0:00.0 | Given that today's episode is such an enormous topic, particularly within the sobriety world, |
| 0:05.1 | we're actually going to separate it into two separate episodes. |
| 0:07.9 | So we'll do the first half this Monday and then come back next. |
| 0:12.1 | The kettle's boiled, Vic. |
| 0:14.0 | Great. Perfect timing. Just a dash of milk for me, please, mate. |
| 0:19.8 | Here you go. |
| 0:22.1 | Should we get started then? |
| 0:31.3 | Have you ever woken up on a Sunday morning and said, I'm never drinking again, |
| 0:34.8 | and then found yourself waving 50 bucks at a barman by happy hour? |
| 0:39.4 | Are you wondering why everyone else can stop at one, while you head to a dodgy after party with a weird bloke called Disco Dave? |
| 0:42.0 | If so, it might be time to take a deeper look at your relationship with your reliable |
| 0:46.1 | social crutch, alcohol. |
| 0:48.7 | On each episode, we'll investigate our own dysfunctional dealings with booze and find out |
| 0:53.4 | if it's possible to stop |
| 0:54.5 | this deeply ingrained habit before things get too messy. Yep, we're going to open up a |

| 1:08.9 | your health. Hamish and I are here to delve into what it's like being sober, |
