Alcoholic, me? Not on your Nelly! On this Episode of Sober Awkward Vic and Lucy discuss the impact of words related to sobriety. During the chat they discover how some words support recovery, and how others can actually derail it. For some people (including Vic) being called an 'Alcoholic' felt extreme and didn't represent the sort of drinker she was, but for Lucy, that word gave her strength, identity and eventually enabled her to address her drinking habit. So, todays episode is an opportunity to help you untangle some of these controversial words and find ones that fit your personal path to lasting sobriety. Show notes<a href="https://australianpodcastawards.com/vote">https://australianpodcastawards.com/vote</a>@soberawkward@drunkmummysobermummyBlog Post - Alcoholic me?<a href="https://www.drunkmummysobermummy.com/post/the-moderation-pixie">htthttps://www.drunkmummysobermummy.com/post/alcoholic-me</a>Lucy Good - <a href="https://beanstalkmums.com.au/">https://beanstalkmums.com.au</a>@beanstalksinglemumsVictoria Vanstone – <a href="http://www.drunkmummysobermummy.com/">www.drunkmummysobermummy.com</a>vic@drunkmummysobermummy.comFacebook Group for Sober Curious Women - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/thesobersocial">https://www.facebook.com/groups/drunkmummysobermummy</a>Alcoholics Anonymous - <a href="https://aa.org.au/">https://aa.org.au</a>Mental Health - <a href="https://www.mindaustralia.org.au/">https://www.mindaustralia.org.au</a> Hosted on Acast.
