Summary
This week on the Share Shed we’re talking drunk online shopping… you know, those slightly terrifying mystery parcels that arrive two days after a blackout.
From sequinned capes and stuffed frogs in hats… to accidentally booking holidays to Spain you have absolutely no memory of organising.
Basically:
If you’ve ever opened your front door hungover and thought,
“What in the name of Christ have I bought now?”
…this one’s for you.
The Share Shed is where listeners send in their funniest, cringiest and most unbelievable drinking stories. It’s not about judgement, it’s about recognising how wild things could get when alcohol was in charge, and laughing about it now we’re on the other side.
But sometimes, it’s also a place for the harder stuff, the honest bits we don’t always say out loud.
If you’ve got a story you’d like to get off your chest, funny, awkward or something a bit more serious, you can send it to Vic at:
vic@soberawkward.com
Anonymous is absolutely fine. In fact, for legal reasons, probably preferable!!

💬 A gentle reminder
If you’re drinking in the morning to cope, especially with anxiety or withdrawal symptoms, it’s really important to speak to a doctor or medical professional. Stopping suddenly can be unsafe for some people, and support can make a huge difference.

| 0:00.0 | It's Thursday and time to jump into the share shed of questions and confessions. |
| 0:14.5 | It's the bit of the week where we fling open the doors of the sober awkward humiliation |
| 0:18.5 | hut and let everything tumble out. This is where you |
| 0:22.1 | send me your awkward questions and your greatest drinking misdemeanors. The traffic cone on the head, |
| 0:28.4 | the one night stands, the questionable taxi journeys, falling in bushes, puking in bins, |
| 0:33.6 | and yes, the occasional running with the police. I believe nothing says growth like finally airing your dirty laundry. |
| 0:41.1 | I hope today we're going to laugh and wince and most importantly stop these tumultuous tales |
| 0:46.5 | lurking in your head like drunken ghosts from your pissed up past. |
| 0:50.7 | If you've got a moment that still pops up uninvited at 3am, a story you've never told anyone or a question you've been carrying around for years, this is your chance to offload it. |
| 1:02.1 | Let's get it off your hairy chest and tuck it safely away in the Sober Awkward shame shed where it can't hurt you anymore. |
| 1:09.2 | Email your questions, confessions and chaotic drinking stories to vick at Soberawkward.com. |
| 1:15.4 | Anonymous is encouraged, oversharing is welcome and judgment is most certainly banned. |
| 1:21.7 | We'll read them out, have a laugh, maybe a little cry, |

| 1:29.2 | Kettle on, shame shed open, let's get a little bit awkward. |
| 1:37.8 | Oh yes, here I am in the beautiful share shed. |
| 1:41.2 | All alone on a Tuesday night, this comes out on Thursday. So I better get it recorded. |
| 1:46.7 | Otherwise I'm going to forget because I'm off to my awards this week. I'm up for best |
| 1:50.9 | independent podcaster in Australia, which is quite ridiculous and quite unbelievable. But here |
| 1:56.3 | I am trying to be proud of myself, but also wanting to avoid being a smug wanker. |
| 2:01.4 | So, yeah, it's a line between being humble and being a tosser, which is definitely where I sit somewhere for sure. |
| 2:10.2 | Anyway, yeah, laughing to my jokes is a perfect, perfect example of that. |
