This week on Sober Awkward, Vic finally tells Hamish everything about the jungle retreat, and no, it wasn’t a cult, no white robes, and absolutely no seduction attempts (apparently). Instead, fifteen strangers arrived in Thailand and fifteen new mates walked out, bonded by rainy boat trips, sweaty boxing classes, lots of yoga, a quiz night that got wildly out of hand, and a whole lot of belly laughs. Oh, and some people that really get it!In this episode, Vic and Hamish explore why finding your sober people is such a game changer. When you quit drinking, you don’t just lose the booze, you can lose belonging, confidence, and your old social world. Sober mates fill that gap. They get you, steady you, calm your nervous system, and make you laugh in a way you actually remember the next day. They make sobriety feel less lonely and a whole lot more fun.Vic also shares the big realisation she had in the jungle: the magic wasn’t the retreat itself, it was being completely, unapologetically herself around people who were doing the same. No pretending. No performing. Just real connection. So, if you are feeling like a sober billy no mates, have a listen to todays episode, it's packed with ways you can fill your sobriety not just with fizzy water, but also with a few magic sober mates that really see you and your glorious awkwardness!!Oh and there is a bit of Craig David action as per usual.
