<p>This week on <em>Sober Awkward</em>, Vic chats with Social Media Educator and (National Association for Children of Addiction) NACOA Ambassador - Sarah Drage about the strange and sometimes complicated world of sobriety on the internet.</p><br><p>When we stop drinking, many of us head straight online. Suddenly there are sober coaches, Instagram accounts, communities, podcasts, hashtags, and an entire digital world devoted to not drinking. For some people it becomes a lifeline. For others… it can start to feel like just another thing we’re slightly addicted to.</p><br><p>Vic gets honest about her own relationship with the online sober world, the pressure to keep creating content, and the strange reality of sharing your life with people you’ve never met.

The rabbit holes. You open Instagram looking for a sober quote and twenty minutes later you’ve somehow ended up on a page where people are putting very strange things in very strange places. How does that happen? What are they doing? And why can’t we look away?</p><br><p>You’ll have to listen to find out… let's just say it involves bottoms.</p><br><p>Find out more about Sarah here @sarah_drage </p><p>Find The Children of Alcoholics Podcast here - https://hello9a.podbean.com/</p><p>Ted Talk - https://tr.ee/x6tGO8cVc5</p><br><p>💛 Resources &amp; Links</p><br><p>📘 Victoria’s memoir – A Thousand Wasted Sundays</p><p>A brutally honest and hilarious look at motherhood, anxiety, and ditching the booze.</p><p>👉 <a href="https://www.https//amzn.asia/d/gfqQtIF.com/a-thousand-wasted-sundays" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Buy the book here</a></p><br><p>🎧 Listen to more Sober Awkward episodes</p><p>👉 <a href="https://www.soberawkward.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.soberawkward.com</a></p><br><p>🫖 Join The Cuppa Community</p><p>Our private, supportive online space for sober folk</p><p>👉 <a href="https://www.cuppa.community/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.cuppa.community</a></p><br><p>📘 Get the Sober Awkward Guide</p><p>Our downloadable toolkit for ditching booze the awkward way.</p><p>👉 <a href="https://www.soberawkward.com/guide" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Sober Awkward Guide</a></p><br><p>📱 Follow us for daily sober fun:</p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/soberawkward" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@soberawkward</a></p><p>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@soberawkward" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@soberawkward</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/soberawkwardforwomen" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sober Awkward Community for Women</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
