Summary
It's Vic's special day! 5 years since she gave up the grog and it's taken her all that time to learn how to best celebrate sobriety milestones.
Today Vic and Hamish discuss plans for their sober birthdays, talk way too much about turnips and uncover why 'going large' on your soberversary can leave you and your piggy back a little disappointed and ensure your soberversary goes off with less of a bang... and more of a quiet high five with someone that cares.
Vic also reflects on the past 5 years and Hamish shares those all important dates from his sober app (and probably too much information about Ed Sheeran's foot).
Anyway.....whether you are about to celebrate 30 days, 100 days, or the big 1 year - this episode will give you food for thought. A hot air balloon ride perhaps? A long walk? a dinner out? or a very expensive massage from an aggressive lady? It's up to you.
Come and feel the sober birthday awkward and do it anyway!
