Sobriety Hack: Know Your Values!

When you stop drinking, you don’t just put down the glass, you’re also left holding one big awkward question: Who even am I without booze?

In this funny, honest, and slightly petty episode of Sober Awkward, Vic and Hamish talk about how figuring out your personal values can be the secret weapon in staying sober long-term.

Knowing what you stand for gives you something to come back to when things get wobbly. It helps you set boundaries, say no to the stuff that doesn’t serve you anymore, and build a life that actually feels like yours...not the one your drunk self stumbled into.

If you’ve ever felt lost in sobriety, unsure what’s next, or tempted to slip back into old habits, this episode will help you see why getting clear on your values is not just self-help fluff. It’s how you stop feeling like you’re giving something up and start feeling like you’re stepping into the person you were always meant to be.

Because staying sober isn’t about willpower... it’s about alignment.

And your values are where that starts.

(Oh and we talk about sticking potatoes in car exhausts and other nefarious, drunken debauchery!)
