Labels give us the mental cosiness of sticking something into a well-ordered little box. What we're saying is, if a label helps you thrive in your sobriety, use it, and if it's uncomfortable, then ditch it.
Ever felt boxed in by a label? In this episode of 'Sober Awkward', Hamish and Vic tackle the sticky issue of labels in sobriety. From childhood nicknames to the tags we pick up during our drinking days, and even the ones we wear in our sober lives, labels can shape our self-image and mental health. But not all labels are bad, right?
Hamish and Vic dig into the origins of societal labels, revealing how some can actually be turned to our advantage. They share their own run-ins with labels, discussing both the uplifting and the limiting ones. Ever wondered how generational views on sobriety can color these labels? They touch on that too, showing how older and younger generations perceive sobriety differently.
With their signature humor and honesty, Hamish and Vic encourage listeners to embrace labels that uplift them and discard those that don't. They also highlight the importance of community in sobriety, explaining how supportive environments can help us break free from negative stereotypes. This episode is a heartfelt, funny, and insightful look at how we can navigate the world of labels while staying true to ourselves.
Whether you've been labeled or just want to understand the power of words better, this chat between Hamish and Vic is a must-listen.
