I'm very grateful that such nice people took the time to meet up with me and hang out.
Ever wondered how a day can turn from daunting to delightful? Luke Hand takes us on such a journey in this episode. Starting with a 6 AM train ride from Warrnambool, Luke battles agoraphobia but decides to push through and explore Melbourne. His first challenge is a quirky check-in at his apartment, where he overhears a manager dealing with a bad review.
Despite the odd start, Luke finds himself appreciating the charm of East Melbourne, though memories of his past with Sophie linger in the background. The day brightens as Luke meets Caroline in the park for a picnic of L&P and plums, followed by a fro-yo treat at Yo-Chi. It's a significant moment for Luke, marking his first social interaction outside a small bubble in over a year.
Later, he strolls through Abbotsford Convent with Eleanor, where they bump into Jason, who shows them some stunning stained glass windows. Luke's reflections on the day are raw and honest. He shares the highs and lows of socializing sober, the challenges of agoraphobia, and the joy of reconnecting with friends. His gratitude shines through as he acknowledges the kindness of those who spent time with him.
This episode is a heartfelt look at the power of human connection and the simple joys of sober living.
