Summary
Sober, Single and on Tinder - with Lucy Good.
For some sober folks, leaving the safe confines of your living room might be a challenge, socialising feels awkward at first and it's easier to stay in rather than venture out into the big wide world. Lucy is a classic case of someone who found her home comforting in early sobriety.
But we are pleased to announce that the queen of the hermits, the matriarch of staying in has been getting herself back out there! Yes - Lucy has joined Tinder and has come back to Sober Awkward to tell you all about it.
Find out about her first few dates, dating someone that still drinks, sex, heartbreak and more.
Lucy never thought that someone as introverted as herself would ever be sober and on Tinder. But here she is, owning her sobriety and even having 4 dates in a day!
So if you are feeling scared about getting yourself back on the dating scene since giving up booze, then this is the episode for you.
