Sober Awkward was lucky enough to pin down one of British TV's most recognisable faces - the incredible Ulrika Jonsson - for an honest and heartfelt chat about her first seven months of sober life.
In this inspiring episode, Ulrika spills the sober beans with Hamish, sharing everything from the pivotal day she decided to quit drinking to the profound changes she’s experienced since. She opens up about using alcohol to mask trauma, the surprising freedom she’s discovered in sobriety, and the awkward—but empowering—experience of dating sober at 57.
In a particularly moving moment (especially for Vic when editing), Ulrika reflects on how a single Instagram post by Vic helped her release the shame tied to over-drinking and embrace a transformative new chapter of self-discovery.
This is a must-listen episode for anyone seeking inspiration, courage, and proof that it’s never too late to rewrite your story.

In today's retrospective episode, Vic and Hame are rejoicing! The stigma that sober is boring has died off and been replaced with a more positive one. Sobriety is being seen as cool and is growing in popularity. The world is finally catching on!

So, Dry January’s going great…Your plodding along like a right trooper, enjoying not being hungover and feeling a little bit proud of yourself... then someone says,
“C'mon! One won’t hurt,”
Spoiler alert: It will!
In this awkward (and surprisingly funny) episode, we explore why that one drink can derail your whole month and ruin your chance at a lovely, shiny sober life.
So, today we are going backwards, for old times sake, This episode will help you rethink that question that is tapping at your soul about now - does it really matter if I have one?
From dodging pub invites to surviving bottomless brunch culture, we’re diving headfirst into the bizarre social minefield of moderation. Because let’s face it — saying no is hard, but saying “maybe” is harder! Expect laughs, cringe-worthy moments, and a healthy dose of honesty as we ask: is moderation really the holy grail, or is just one the slippery slope?
Warning: Side effects of this episode may include a smug sense of self-control and a weird craving for herbal tea. Cheers (with a mocktail, of course)!

No Regrets! They don't work!
Regret is a feeling of sadness about something sad or wrong or about a mistake that you have made, and a wish that it could have been different and better:
Some sober people might say that this is how they feel about their drinking career. They might look back at it as a mistake, a time where they were not living life to the fullest or wish it could have been better, less messy and more fulfilling.
But how does feeling regret effect sobriety? Does if push us forward or hold us back?
Today Vic and Hamish will go over some of their big regrets, they'll go deeper than the sloppy shags and pissed up injuries and dig into some of the more long term remorse that has resulted from years of heavy boozing. Can they both turn their regret into a super power and move on from it? Find out in this very silly episode in which Vic refers to her vagina as the Blackwell Tunnel. It's high-brow stuff!

It's Christmas Eve!
That special time of year in which we share gifts, gather together to eat a wonderful meal, share love and appreciation for one another........and get totally shit-faced!
Yes it's time for the biggest bender of the year. The day where (apparently) it's ok to start drinking in the morning. So how an earth are you going to make it through?
Today Vic and Hamish will share their ghosts of Christmas past and give you some brilliant tips on how to get through this day. They are approaching the festivities with a 'worst case scenario' perspective. That way, whatever you're faced with - you will be ready!
If these two idiots can get through another Xmas day wearing an inflatable fancy dress outfits, with Uncle Steve trying to shove a glass of whisky in to their hand - then you can too!
Merry Christmas Y'all!

On the surface of it, Paul Sculfor was living the dream. He fell into modelling (his Mum signed him up to a competition without him knowing) and soon became Britain’s first supermodel when he was still in his early 20s. He travelled the world, earnt a huge income and was seemingly ‘living the dream’. But underneath it all, Paul’s partying was covering up some deep rooted trauma. As you will hear, Paul’s childhood was far from straightforward. Although he only discovered drinks and drugs relatively late, they would immediately fill the gaps in his personality that he felt he was lacking.
Paul didn’t know he had a problem - until it was almost too late.
After another drugs and booze fuelled night out, Paul had a panic attack whilst driving and would soon end up in rehab.Although it wasn’t a straightforward path from there - he has now been sober for over 20 years and has used his experience to try and help others. His wonderful Stride Foundation has been helped people get the professional help they need for a decade.
Today, he splits his time working with the Foundation, modelling, podcasting, acting and TV presenting - not to mention being a husband and father of two.
We cannot thank Paul enough for his honesty and wisdom during this conversation.

In today's retrospective episode, Hame looks back over the trip that he was dreading the most in his sobriety. A long awaited return home to his old haunts and drinking friends and no less than 3 weddings and dancefloors. You'll hear how, despite being sober, he still managed to throw up!

This was the day that Hamish took Vic to the Cricket. Vic doesn't like cricket - as you can tell, but she went along with Hamish and followed through with all the ridiculous traditions - which (unfortunately for her) included dressing up as a frog.
But, these two rebellious little green amphibians did break one major cricketing tradition that day - They did not drink. Not a Pimms and Lemonade in sight! Did the world stop and point accusatory fingers? No - in fact it was very liberating!
So, is it ok to break traditions? Even if it offends your host?
And, are some of the drinking traditions just peer pressure from dead people? Is it possible that we just go along with them because we always have?
Yes, you've guessed it. Today is all about custom. Vic and Hamish take a look into some drinking traditions all over the world and some that happen on their doorstep. Everything from kidnapping brides in Germany to rugby games in Australia and St Patricks day in Ireland. How have these events become so synonymous with drinking and why do we feel the need to partake in the celebrations?
When something is a tradition it seems so much harder for a sober person to say no - so today's episode is here to set you up and make you feel strong when faced with a long ingrained drinking custom.
It's time to change the course of traditions and stop them in their rather wobbly tracks!
Ribbit!

Like many people around the world we were hugely shocked and saddened by the recent news of the 6 tourists who lost their lives to suspected methanol poisoning in Laos. As sensitive and raw as this seems, we felt compelled to use our platform to try and educate and warn others about the risks of methanol and how best to avoid it. This episode is a tribute to all of the friends and family who are grieving at the moment. We sincerely hope that their lives were not given in vain and that they become the catalyst for change so that nobody else needs to lose their life in this way again.
We are sorry we even had to record this episode, but we hope you agree that its as important as any we have ever had to record.

With schoolies fast approaching, you might be thinking about what you should say to your teenager about alcohol. NOBODY in Australia is more experienced on this topic than Paul Dillon. For the last three decades he has travelled around Australia (and the world!) visiting schools to teach them about the dangers of alcohol and drugs.
Many of us dread this conversation...for years...particularly if we were heavy drinkers ourselves. But Paul's approach is similar to ours on the podcast. He is not trying to tell kids to not drink or do drugs. He is instead equipping them to do so as safely as possible.
How should they act in an emergency?
Does eating bread or pulling a sickie sober you up?
And should you ever put a mate to sleep if they are hammered?
These are just some of the questions that Paul will answer over the course of our chat.
The truth is - he is a fountain of wisdom on the exact topic Vic and Hame know the least about and we are hugely grateful he sat down with us to help you all too!

In Australia, over 100,000 FIFO (Fly In, Fly Out) workers deal with the pressures of extended time away from home and countless others, partners, friends and kids also have to deal with the fallout that runs alongside someone they love being away for long periods of time.
So, does working away from home Increase your own or your partners drinking?
The stats seem to suggest that people who work away tend to over drink more than most and party harder on their days off.
It could be caused by the sense of freedom people feel when working away or it could be loneliness, boredom or missing loved ones. Then, when they get home from a work trip... the party starts. Time to kick back and enjoy a well-earned break and have a few drinks to pass the time. A toxic cycle of drinking that can leak from a workplace culture into the home.
'But Hame and Vic - What do you know?! You don't even have real jobs! we hear you cry!
Well...you're right...and that's why we have welcomed onto the podcast the wonderful Shaun Palmer who openly shares his story of domestic abuse, grief, work as a FIFO, over drinking and eventual journey to sobriety. Shaun has overcome more hurdles than most of us will in a lifetime and he now spends his time trying to help others who are struggling too.
It was an absolute pleasure to have him on the podcast and we hope his story inspires you as much as it did us!
Enjoy!
