Summary
This week in the Share Shed there is a very common story about what happns when you have too many shots at a Hen Night. A big thank you to Clare who sent it in and another question from an anonymous listener - What do you say when your friends ask why you're not drinking?
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.
If you’ve got a story you’d like to get off your chest, funny, awkward or slightly ridiculous, you can send it to Vic at:
vic@soberawkward.com
Anonymous is absolutely fine. In fact - for legal reasons - probably preferable!!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Thursday share shed of questions and confessions. |
| 0:10.0 | The bit of the week where I'll fling open the doors of sober awkward and let everything tumble out. |
| 0:15.7 | If you've got a cringy moment that still pops up uninvited at 3am. This is your chance to offload it. |
| 0:22.5 | Let's get it off your chest and stop these tumultuous tales lurking like the drunken ghosts of your |
| 0:28.3 | pissed up past. You can email your stories to vick at soberaawquad.com. Anonymous is encouraged, |
| 0:35.6 | oversharing is very welcome and judgment is most certainly banned. |
| 0:40.5 | So if you've ever worn a traffic cone on your head, had a weird one-night stand, |
| 0:45.5 | fallen asleep in a bush, puked in a bin, and yes, had the occasional running with the police, |
| 0:50.3 | or you just need to ask me a question about booze, then you're in the right place. |
| 0:54.9 | I believe nothing says growth like finally airing a bit of dirty laundry. |
| 1:00.4 | Let's evict those embarrassing memories once and for all. |
| 1:04.5 | Kettle on, share shed open, let's get a little bit awkward. |
| 1:11.9 | Oh, hello Thursday. |
| 1:13.7 | Yes, it's that time of the week again. |
| 1:16.3 | Here we are. |
| 1:17.4 | I've just cleared up 12 socks from my kitchen. |
| 1:21.1 | Now, I know that sounds strange. |
| 1:22.5 | I haven't been using them for cooking. |
| 1:25.5 | I have just found them in random places around my house. I found 12 |
| 1:31.2 | socks and a woolen glove. Now, I don't know if you know, but I live in Australia. So there's |
| 1:35.9 | absolutely no reason for a woolen glove to even be in my house. Anyway, the plight of the modern |
| 1:41.8 | mother is the sock. The burden. It's totally unrelated to sobriety, but hey-ho, the plight of the modern mother is the sock. The burden. |
