Vic and Hamish are back with another hilarious and brutally honest episode of Sober Awkward. This time, they tackle the question: Do you stop maturing when you start drinking booze? With their signature blend of humour and sincerity, they explore whether alcohol stunts emotional growth and what happens when you finally put down the glass. Vic shares her personal journey of realising she only began maturing after quitting alcohol at 40.
Gone are the days of pretending to be an adult while actually behaving like a teenager in a pub.

Yes, you heard that right—while everyone else is jotting down affirmations, Vic is writing complaint letters with the help of ChatGPT.
Hamish and Vic discuss the immature antics they indulged in while drinking, from stealing firemen's helmets to using sex as a tool for validation. They ponder whether their immaturity was a result of the booze or if they were just naturally silly. They also touch on how sobriety has helped them build deeper, more meaningful relationships and handle life's challenges with a balanced perspective.

But it also offers valuable insights into how sobriety can lead to emotional growth and maturity. So, if you've ever wondered whether your drinking habits have kept you stuck in a state of arrested development, this episode is a must-listen. Ready to find out if putting down the pint can help you grow up?
