They're not just numbers, and we hope that by tapping into Sarah's life and understanding the trauma and that she's been through because of shame and stigma, then hopefully more people will reach out for support.
Sarah Drage joins Vic and Hamish on 'Sober Awkward' to share a deeply personal story that sheds light on the often-hidden struggles of living with and losing a loved one to alcoholism. After her father passed away from alcohol misuse disorder in 2017, Sarah has been on a mission to raise awareness and de-stigmatize alcoholism.
Her story is a raw and honest look at the emotional toll that addiction takes on families and the crippling shame that can prevent people from reaching out for help. This episode, pieced together with the help of technology due to Lucy being out sick, dives into the normalization of alcohol in society and how it impacts those battling addiction.
Vic, Hamish, and Alan tackle these tough topics with their usual mix of empathy and candidness, making this episode both heart-wrenching and enlightening. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Sarah's story offers a beacon of hope and a call to break the silence around these issues. Tune in for a conversation that’s as thought-provoking as it is necessary.
