  • S1 Ep 6: Making it stick: how do we change for good?
    Feb 14 2023
    January is over. Whether you stayed dry or just managed Moist, how do you make sure you’re not heading into soggy February? What’s the best way to cope with cravings, handle social events, and avoid falling back into old habits?  Stephanie is here to answer all these questions, thank goodness. She opens up her toolbox to share a host of practical tips for maintaining balance in the long term, along with her number one Nugget of Wisdom.  We’re joined by Jo Bevilacqua, who tells us how she went from party girl to moderate drinker, and shares her best advice too. We discuss how planning your drinking can help, what to do if you’re feeling the pressure, and how to handle it if you mess up.  Look, we do bang on about it, but honestly, Remedy Kombucha make such nice drinks. They are free of sugar and artificial sweeteners, as it’s possible we’ve mentioned, and they contain antioxidants and organic acids. The flavours are great and they are properly tasty. You can get Remedy Kombucha from Morrisons, Tesco, Amazon, Ocado, Holland and Barrett, Starbucks, M&S and remedydrinks.com. Thanks again for sponsoring the podcast, Remedy!

  • S1 Ep 5: Is dry January worth it?
    Feb 7 2023
    In this episode, we talk to academic researcher James Morris about why he believes we need to change the story around alcohol and addiction. He also tells us his story of going from abstinence to being back on the booze.  There’s some chat about the benefits of doing dry January, and why so many of us go back to our old ways afterwards. Plus, fags vs beer: do different drugs require different approaches when we’re trying to kick the habit?  Shout out to Remedy Kombucha, kind sponsors of the podcast, and purveyors of delicious fizzy drinks that don’t contain any sugary nonsense. They come in great flavours like Wild Berry and Raspberry Lemonade, complete with antioxidants and organic acids. Perfect if you’re looking for an alternative to alcohol.

  • S1 Ep 4: Am I an alcoholic?
    Jan 31 2023
    Our guest for this episode is the brilliantly funny and beautifully honest Cat Sims, known on Instagram as @notsosmugnow. She tells us about the dark times that led to her decision to give up the booze entirely, and the lessons she’s learned along the way.  We find out if she’s secretly judging Ellie’s attempts to cut down rather than cut it out. Stephanie shares her thoughts on labels and whether we need them, and Cat tells us what it’s like to go to AA meetings (the ones for people who drink too much, not the ones for people who need roadside assistance.) Big thanks as always to our lovely sponsors (not in the AA sense) Remedy Kombucha. They make lovely refreshing cans of fizzy pop, full of antioxidants and organic acids, and no sugary nonsense. They taste like they’re made for grown-ups, especially the excellent Ginger Lemon flavour. You can get Remedy Kombucha from Morrisons, Tesco, Amazon, Ocado, Holland and Barrett, Starbucks, M&S and remedydrinks.com. #AD Sort Your Sh*t Out is produced by Laura Grimshaw (@lorlyjane) and the music is by John Thorn.

Great podcast!

Loved listening to this. After 20+ years of being a heavy drinker I decided to have a 6 month break from booze to reset, I’m on month 2 and hoping at the end I will have a more positive relationship with alcohol. I found this podcast so informative, funny and very relatable…loved it 🙂
