NEW! Sober Awkward Top Ten! 10 x Weird Side Effects of Going Sober

Welcome to the very first Sober Awkward Top Ten! In this short, sharp, slightly angry at the council episode, Vic shares ten gloriously unexpected things that happen when you give up the booze. From crying at dog food ads to waking up at 5am on purpose, these are the strange little perks, quirks, and emotional sucker punches that come with sober life.

It’s honest, it’s funny, and it might just make you feel a little bit more normal.

Perfect for a walk, a cuppa, or hiding in the pantry from your children.
