  • Considering Moderation? Why One Will Hurt!
    Jan 12 2025


    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)!

My new mates Vic & Hamish

It’s that time of year where we all get a little sober curious… I started listening to this on a whim and now Vic and Hamish accompany me on dog walks, long car journeys and even the occasional run.. I have genuinely laughed out loud and been thoroughly entertained all whilst strengthening my resolve to give up drinking. Thanks both.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
