“Can hangovers kill you!?” GEM'S SOBRIETY JOURNEY

Nov 5 2021 • 50 mins

This episode is all about sobriety and in particular the issues that people have with the word ‘sober’.

No, it doesn’t mean you’re an addict but it does mean you choose to turn your back on substances that you know aren’t helping you live your best life.

In this extremely open and honest podcast, Gemma opens up about the reason she became sober curious in the first place “I thought I’d killed my son” and Claire shares her story of going booze-free for 100 days.

In this episode, we reference a variety of helpful podcasts, organisations and individuals for anyone else feeling sober curious.

GOBBING OFF

*New*! As this podcast is all about being honest to gob, we thought we’d have a new feature called ‘Gobbing Off!’ where we share the stuff that’s been twisting our tits and making us have sandy vaginas.

We invite YOU to get involved in this too!

Leave us a DM voice note on Instagram and let us know what YOU are gobbing off about. In sending us a voice note you agree to be featured on the podcast so you can choose to change your name if you want. In this episode, Gemma was gobbing off about women not knowing how to check their boobs properly after having a breast cancer scare. Leave us your gob off - www.instagram.com/honesttogobpod

Is it day 4 of your period or 4 days after your period ends?
We couldn't find a definitive answer on this so have decided that we will check on both occasions! So day 4 of our period and then 4 days after our period ends (which would probably work out 10 days after period starts).
