Sober Awkward was lucky enough to pin down one of British TV's most recognisable faces - the incredible Ulrika Jonsson - for an honest and heartfelt chat about her first seven months of sober life.

In this inspiring episode, Ulrika spills the sober beans with Hamish, sharing everything from the pivotal day she decided to quit drinking to the profound changes she’s experienced since. She opens up about using alcohol to mask trauma, the surprising freedom she’s discovered in sobriety, and the awkward—but empowering—experience of dating sober at 57.

In a particularly moving moment (especially for Vic when editing), Ulrika reflects on how a single Instagram post by Vic helped her release the shame tied to over-drinking and embrace a transformative new chapter of self-discovery.

This is a must-listen episode for anyone seeking inspiration, courage, and proof that it’s never too late to rewrite your story.

So, Dry January’s going great…Your plodding along like a right trooper, enjoying not being hungover and feeling a little bit proud of yourself... then someone says,

“C'mon! One won’t hurt,”

Spoiler alert: It will!

In this awkward (and surprisingly funny) episode, we explore why that one drink can derail your whole month and ruin your chance at a lovely, shiny sober life.

So, today we are going backwards, for old times sake, This episode will help you rethink that question that is tapping at your soul about now - does it really matter if I have one?

From dodging pub invites to surviving bottomless brunch culture, we’re diving headfirst into the bizarre social minefield of moderation. Because let’s face it — saying no is hard, but saying “maybe” is harder! Expect laughs, cringe-worthy moments, and a healthy dose of honesty as we ask: is moderation really the holy grail, or is just one the slippery slope?

Warning: Side effects of this episode may include a smug sense of self-control and a weird craving for herbal tea. Cheers (with a mocktail, of course)!

No Regrets! They don't work!

Regret is a feeling of sadness about something sad or wrong or about a mistake that you have made, and a wish that it could have been different and better:

Some sober people might say that this is how they feel about their drinking career. They might look back at it as a mistake, a time where they were not living life to the fullest or wish it could have been better, less messy and more fulfilling. 

But how does feeling regret effect sobriety? Does if push us forward or hold us back?

Today Vic and Hamish will go over some of their big regrets, they'll go deeper than the sloppy shags and pissed up injuries and dig into some of the more long term remorse that has resulted from years of heavy boozing. Can they both turn their regret into a super power and move on from it? Find out in this very silly episode in which Vic refers to her vagina as the Blackwell Tunnel. It's high-brow stuff!

It's Christmas Eve!

That special time of year in which we share gifts, gather together to eat a wonderful meal, share love and appreciation for one another........and get totally shit-faced!

Yes it's time for the biggest bender of the year. The day where (apparently) it's ok to start drinking in the morning. So how an earth are you going to make it through?

Today Vic and Hamish will share their ghosts of Christmas past and give you some brilliant tips on how to get through this day. They are approaching the festivities with a 'worst case scenario' perspective. That way, whatever you're faced with - you will be ready!

If these two idiots can get through another Xmas day wearing an inflatable fancy dress outfits, with Uncle Steve trying to shove a glass of whisky in to their hand - then you can too!

Merry Christmas Y'all!
