Summary
Time. In sobriety it can be your greatest ally or your most fearsome enemy. Either way, you now have a lot more of it! How you spend that spare time, is down to you.
In this weeks episode Vic and Hamish explore the hobbies that have worked for them and warn of others that almost drove them back to the bottle.
You'll hear about some pastimes that got left by the wayside when drinking entered the fray. Vic used to collect rubbers...not those ones...don't ask! Whilst Hamish walks you through his 'Goals Tree' with all its sober hobby branches. It may only make sense to him. Only time will tell...
By the end of the episode, they hope your copious amounts of leisure time will be an exciting opportunity for growth rather than empty space to be feared.
Join them as they learn how to feel the awkward and do it anyway!
