Following on from last week's extended episode about therapy... here is Part Two!Today Vic and Hamish want to focus on reaching out for help. They’ll share what happens in a therapy session and why it can help you move on from bad habits. Now, this isn’t going to be easy because of course all practitioners do things differently but what they will try to do, in their very own awkward way, is to uncover why finding the right person could be the key to a long sober life, how having patience is a must and find out why men in particular find it hard to reach out. They hope by the end of this episode you'll decide to reach out and find someone to chat to. Sober Awkward wants to give you the confidence to pick up the phone, or fill in that online form and stop putting it off. Todays the day that you decide to stop failing to solve all your problems by yourself..... and start accepting some support because not only will you feel better – everyone around you will benefit too.They also have a chat about relationships, wearing bonnets and sticking fruit and vegetables up bottoms.

Foetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) What are FASD's?Is it safe to have any level of alcohol when pregnant?How does it affect the unborn baby?How and when is it diagnosed?These are questions Vic and Hamish should have probably found the answers to a long time ago, but like many people, they both chose to ignore the facts about FASD and live in hope that it wouldn't happen to them. Silly really.FASD a condition, or range of conditions, that we've all heard of, but for some reason don't take too seriously. We presume we shouldn't drink when trying for a baby but make excuses....'Surly, one won't hurt?' So, today is about facts, finding out what it is and how alcohol consumption can have impact on a baby during the first trimester.As you may have guessed... neither of these two buffoons know much about anything, so, they have invited on an incredible guest, Sophie. Sophie has lived lived experience of FASD after exposing her unborn child to alcohol in early gestation and today discusses her own experience of living with the guilt and shame that comes alongside this diagnosis. She also chats about how it affects her sons daily life, the challenges, the wins and how gaining more knowledge about FASD has made their relationship closer.This episode is for anyone that has ever wondered about this condition or is essential listening if you are trying for a baby.Noteshttps://www.nofasd.org.auNOFASD Australia works to support families living with FASD and prevent harms caused by alcohol.

We don't judge anyone on where and from whom they get their inspiration from!What inspired us this week came from a man who has also done some terrible things to his cock in the name of comedy...Jackass's very own Steve O.He made a fair point about how alcoholism is the only disease that you recover stronger from.Hame and Vic discuss whether they felt as if they had the 'disease' of alcoholism and explore the truth to this statement whether you do or not!Vic also shares a harrowing truth about where she 'clips' her toenails and updates us all on which STIs she is currently riddled with.Show NotesVic's book is out!
