## Resource

This week’s Shame Shed is a more serious one. A parent writes in about the shame they carry from drinking while raising their kids, and the heavy weight of seeing it all clearly now they’re sober. If you’ve ever felt that knot in your stomach about the past, this one will hit home. The Share Shed is where listeners send in their funniest, cringiest and most unbelievable drinking stories. It’s not about judgement, it’s about recognising how wild things could get when alcohol was in charge, and laughing about it now we’re on the other side. But sometimes, it’s also a place for the harder stuff, the honest bits we don’t always say out loud. If you’ve got a story you’d like to get off your chest, funny, awkward or something a bit more serious, you can send it to Vic at: vic@soberawkward.com Anonymous is absolutely fine. In fact, for legal reasons, probably preferable!! 📞 SUPPORT & RESOURCES If anything in today’s Shame Shed felt familiar, or you’re worried about your drinking, there is support out there.
