- Life changer
I have been sober for 2 years and this podcast started it all. It is so, so funny and relatable , it makes you realise that getting sober doesn’t mean you have to wake up at 5am, run a marathon , and then drink a kale smoothie . You can still have a laugh , still indulge in chocolate and binge watching Bridgerton , and Vic will do it right along with you . Cannot recommend this podcast highly enough, it has truly changed, and probably saved, my life.

It’s a hard sell for what you gain rather than what you lose by choosing sobriety. I... more

United Kingdom9 months ago - Two funny sober people who make me laugh and heal!
I found this podcast when I was 19 days into sobriety. And what a gift. Finally people that were open, honest and relatable in their drinking past lives and how they honestly deal with sobriety. They make me laugh so much and I’m so glad the podcast has been put out into the universe.
Apple Podcasts5Eduardo CarruccioAustralia9 months ago - Sober Hilarious
One of my fave podcasts of all time. It is a multi-layered oniony gift of a thing. The conversations are honest, vulnerable, filled with wisdom, and absolutely hilarious. Recommend starting from ep 1 and following the… journey 😅
