Our Annual Christmas Poem - From Two Sober Elves

🎄 Merry Christmas from Sober Awkward! 🎄


It’s that time of year again, the crackers are cracking, the mulled wine is flowing, and somewhere in the chaos, a sober legend (yes, you) is standing strong. We know how awkward, emotional, and just plain weird Christmas can be when you’re doing it booze-free, so we’ve brought back our annual Sober Awkward Christmas Poem to help keep you smiling, grounded, and booze free.


This is our little festive gift to you, a reminder that you are not alone, and that choosing sobriety (especially today) is one of the most powerful, life-affirming things you can do. You won’t wake up with regret, fall headfirst into the gravy, or try to kiss your cousin during Love Actually.


You’re doing something brave. Something brilliant. Something you’ll actually remember.


So wherever you are, whatever your set-up, however awkward it gets — we’re sending you love, strength, and a huge dose of sober cheer.


Merry Christmas one and all,

Love from your favourite sober elves,

Vic & Hamish 💚

Sober Awkward
Your Awkward Christmas Toolkit

If the idea of a sober Christmas makes you break out in a festive sweat, clutch a mince pie for emotional support, and whisper “Lord, give me strength,” then this episode is your new best friend.


This week, Mrs Santa (Vic, with her saggy boob and questionable stuffing) and her long suffering festive sidekick Elf Hamish dive headfirst into the sparkly chaos of Christmas. First the fantasy version where everyone drinks kombucha and expresses gratitude, then the real version where Uncle Gary is drunk by 10am and someone cries because their new crocs are the wrong colour.


Together they explore the myth of the perfect sober Christmas, the messy reality most of us face, and why the festive drinking culture feels overwhelming and very annoying when your'e sober. Today these two idiots offer up a simple sober toolkit to help you get through the day, and reflect on what Christmas really feels like without booze numbing the edges.


This is your festive mix of honesty, humour, science, awkwardness and hope. Everything you need to get through the holiday season without falling face first into the gravy boat. So grab a fizzy water, hide in the loo if you need to, and join us for the Christmas episode that helps you sleigh the holiday season with your dignity intact.


Merry Christmas sober legends. Feel the awkward and do it anyway!

Clare Pooley: How I Inspired Millions to get Sober through 'The Sober Diaries'

In today's episode, Hame sits down with the wonderful Clare Pooley. The globally celebrated author who's blog and subsequent book 'The Sober Diaries' has been been named as THE book that helped so many of our listeners get sober so it felt only right to invite her on!


This fascinating conversation ranges from how she labelled and overcame her 'wine witch' (and the surprising role that Game of Thrones played in it!), the 'Best Mum Cup' moment that would mark her final alcoholic drink, why she has never identified with the term 'alcoholic', how her sobriety prepared her for the challenges of being diagnosed with breast cancer and the rules she encourages on any teenager asking about how to drink alcohol.


As well as being a fountain of knowledge, Clare was exactly as kind, funny and relatable as you might expect.


We hope that this episode can inspire one more person to reconsider their relationship with alcohol to add to the long list!

Sober Awkward
Will I Ever Trust Myself Again? (Yes. And Here’s How…)

In this week’s Sober Awkward, Vic and Hamish dive into one of the biggest, stickiest, most awkward questions in sobriety: Can I actually trust myself again?


Vic opens up about those final blurry days of drinking when she couldn’t even trust herself to say “no” to a jelly baby, let alone a vodka soda. Hamish admits he’s never trusted Vic with a map, a tech problem, or his childhood sticker collection — fair enough. But what happens when that mistrust is turned inward?


Together, they unpack how alcohol chips away at your self-belief, how broken promises and panic attacks can shrink your life, and why sobriety is less about perfection and more about proving (slowly, quietly, consistently) that you’ve got your own back again.


Expect awkward confessions, tips for rebuilding trust with yourself and others, a bit of trust trauma from the 1980s, and a brand new Sober Awkward anthem from listener Sean, who just celebrated 1 year sober (you legend, mate!). Check out Seans band @conflictmanagerband


Oh, there is some awful and somewhat offensive chat about rims.

Of course there is.


Enjoy!!!

Who’s Really in Control – You or Alcohol?

So, you think you’re in control of your drinking. You’ve got rules. You don’t drink before midday. You smashed Dry July. You’re not as bad as your mate Dave. But deep down… is alcohol really calling the shots?


In this episode, Vic and Hamish rewind the clock to those sneaky early days when they both tried to prove they were totally in control of their drinking — spoiler alert: they weren’t. From imaginary dance careers to strategic night out planning, they share the lies we tell ourselves to keep drinking, and why it’s so damn hard to see the truth until it slaps you in the face.


They also dig into the science of control (hello, dopamine), introduce you to “alcohol myopia” (yes, it’s a thing), and reveal the moment they each realised who was really behind the wheel. Plus, red flags to look out for, a reality check on moderation, and the challenge that might just change your life.



Come for the banter, stay for the bash-on-the-head truth bombs.

Let’s take back control — together. (Say in an American accent please!)

Brewers Droop

This week, things get steamy… or rather, extremely awkward, as Vic and Hamish dive into the sweaty, slippery world of sex and sobriety. From brewer’s droop and boozy blunders to the awkward reality of sober intimacy, this episode explores how alcohol shaped our sex lives — and what happens when the booze is gone and the lights are on.


Vic shares how lager gave her false confidence and a free pass to the “downstairs disco,” while Hamish confesses his reliance on Dutch courage to even make a move. Together, they unpack the myths around alcohol and sex, laugh about some deeply mortifying bedroom misadventures, and explore how connection changes when you’re sober, present, and fully clothed until at least 9:15pm.


With raw honesty, community confessions, and more innuendos than should be legally allowed, this episode is for anyone navigating sex in sobriety, whether you’re avoiding it, faking it, missing it, or finally starting to enjoy it.


It’s awkward, it’s real, and it’s very, very Sober Awkward.

Why Having Sober Mates Matters...

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. Enjoy!

Losing It All: How Addiction Led Me to Embezzle Millions from Hollywood's Elite

Jonathan Todd Schwartz was once the "diva whisperer," the highly trusted financial manager for Hollywood's biggest names, including Beyoncé, Mariah Carey and Alanis Morissette. He was living the high life while secretly battling a monstrous cocaine and gambling addiction.


Consumed by his habit, Jonathan began to embezzle millions from his celebrity clients, leading to his arrest and conviction. His world of fame and fortune crashed into a jail cell.


But the story doesn't end there. Now over nine years sober and working as a recovery advocate, Jonathan is on a messy, public journey for redemption. He is determined to prove he is no longer the "defrauding monster" the industry remembers.

Sober Stories: Brian

Welcome to our new weekly shortened episodes - Sober Stories!


After the overwhelming response to a recent writing competition during which we asked you to share your JOURNEYS to sobriety (the good, the bad and the ugly!), we felt compelled to take things a step further.


We asked, you wrote, and now we're sharing the incredible, hilarious, and heartwarming stories you sent us. Get ready to be inspired by your fellow listeners, one story at a time!


Happy Saturday, y’all.
