Dr. Matt Agnew, we all saw him have a 'pash' on The Bachelor, but he is way more than the Bachie!! He is a 'pashonate' spaceman, a 'pashonate' robotronic enthusiast, he is one of the founders of Pash, a non-alc beer AND he is a sober dude.
This ep is a banger (and the audio is 10/10, thanks Matt). Despite being the ultimate wing man on the sauce, Matt was having a battle with the bottle. This chat touches on using to booze to numb, mental health, the importance of speaking up, supportive friends in sobriety, and the newest non-alc beer PASH!
Take some notes, as Matt dishes out some really helpful advice to those who want to change their relationship with booze.

Behind every alcohol-free drinks company is a sober/sober curious story, and the story behind Smug AF Cocktails is no exception.
Owner of Smug, Lauren (Loz) Lakin is on the other side of the bar, normally Loz interviews people for Smug's IG (Breeza and Maso have both been interviewed), sharing stories of sobriety. So, with the tables turned, Loz was feeling a bit nervous!
In this ep, Loz shares her story of being a boozy party girl, and a part of a family of 'big drinkers' (even Nan gave it a good crack). But when Loz's Dad ended up in ICU, everything changed for Loz including her drinking habits and creating a range of delicious alcohol-free cocktails.
Loz is now a mindful drinker and is saying 'no' to drinks more than she says 'yes', and in her words she is still just as LOUD and just as FUN when she isn't drinking.
The girls love SMUG, follow them on IG @smug_af_coctails and shop at www.smugaf.com.au.

Sobriety isn't a destination, it's a journey - a wild journey at that!
In this ep the girls discuss what's been going on in their worlds, and where their sobriety is at. Maso is staunch af (as F*&# - not alcohol-free 😉) in her sobriety, and has worked through some big emotions lately which she shares in the poddy. Maso is coming up to 2 years off the sauce, incredible!!
Breeza had the blowout that Maso predicted was coming, and has come to the conclusion that after 10 months of attempting moderation - she can't, so after 14 months off it, it's back to day 1!
Buckle up for this ep, it's got all the colours!

Celebrities are in the spotlight for the good, bad, and the ugly!
In this ep the girls shine a light on celebrities that are sober. From our onshore celebrities to Hollywood stars, they have all had a different journey to sobriety.
Breeza and Maso, aren't going to name-drop in the show notes, so you'll have to tune in. But, they do think they forgot to mention hot rod Zac Efron, who stopped drinking in 2013 after a brief stint in rehab.
This episode will surprise you. While some celebrities speak openly and often about their sobriety, Breeza and Maso found a few surprise packages while researching.

Legends! In this ep Breeza and Maso banter with one of the biggest legends going around - Kirsty Webeck.
Kirsty is a comedian and actor, and she has been living her life booze-free for the past couple of years.
As Kirsty discusses, there was no ‘ah-ha’ moment that led her to stop drinking, no rock bottom, and no intervention - she just got to a point where she worked out that she felt so good without booze, so why drink?
You will love this honest, no-frills, and funny chat with Kirsty, she is an absolute cracker.
If you want more giggles with Kirsty follow her @kirstywebeck or visit her website for touring dates www.kirstywebeck.com.

Natasha Green has been off the sauce for 2 years. She has gone from benders to ice baths #vibe and she isn't looking back, she is loving her sober life.
You may remember when Tash burst onto our screens on MAFS Season 7, 2018 (the marriage didn't last (spoiler alert). Partying was the norm for her until an indecent lead to her wanting and needing to change her relationship with alcohol.
For those listeners that are binge drinkers or have been in the past, this ep is so relatable. Tash, talks about saying goodbye to party friends, and even relocating to Byron Bay to get as far away as possible from the Sydney party scene that she was a part of. Tash's inner glow is bright, and Breeza and Maso are very excited for Tash and her hubby, Gary's, bright future.

Imagine hearing the words; 'You have 3 months to live.' These were the words told to Justine Whitchurch over 10 years ago.
Justine is a personal trainer, author, model and motivational speaker. Having experienced a near-death alcohol addiction, Justine now lives her life with health and fitness as the core foundation.
Breeza and Maso have been following Justine on Instagram for a while now, and she looks as good over zoom as she does on the gram. Justine is a picture of health! As you will learn in this chat, Justine's health hasn't always been this good. Justine's drinking started out as fun, then alcohol became her medication. She compromised her health with her drinking and also compromised her role as a mum from the grip that alcohol had on her. But as Justine says, she was one of the lucky ones with a supportive family around her she was able to go to rehab and still be with her children.
Exercise played an enormous role in her recovery, and still does. Her purpose now is to pay forward the gift that sobriety and healthy living gave her through her ‘Fearful to Fierce’ program. She is also an advocate for embracing the ‘age is no barrier’ principle and continues to demonstrate this through her love of fashion and modeling.
Find Justine on Instagram @jusswhitchurch.

Ever done anything on the sauce that you regret? Welcome to the club, you are not alone.
In this episode Breeza and Maso share stories of regret when they drank. From big hitters like choosing booze over babies, to all the time they will never get back from being hung over. Thank you to the listeners that also chimed in for this episode and shared their regrets on the booze.
The girls shine humor on the regrets - cos if you don't laugh, you'll cry. And to make everyone feel better here is a cracking quote from Brene Brown “The idea of “no regrets” doesn’t mean living with courage, it means living without reflection. To live without regret is to believe we have nothing to learn, no amends to make, and no opportunity to be braver with our lives.”

What a ride season 2 has been! Maso has been on a huge journey after an 8-year relationship ended, she has shared the ups and down with you our listeners, and in return, Maso has received some beautiful heart-warming messages of support. Maso has ridden the emotional rollercoaster sober, it's a huge accomplishment. And for all the work she put in, she is wrapping up season 2 on a high!
For Breeza, it's been her first crack at sobriety, and as you would have learned this season, she has dipped her toe back in and has been drinking alcohol here and there. In this ep Breeza questions, if booze will stay around for much longer in her life, and she questions what value it has brought her life over the past 9 months.
It's been another cracking season all because of YOU! Thanks for tuning in, thanks for DMing the girls, and thanks for your reviews (hint - please give the poddy a review).
Breeza and Maso will be back in your ear holes in 2 weeks time.

What a wild ride with Drew Wild! Drew's story of addiction started with dabbling in a bit of pot, when he was in active addiction with booze and drugs he was living in his car.
In this ep you will hear how Drew challenged the status of quo of addiction being a disease. Not satisfied with that answer, Drew went searching and carried out a a huge research project on himself!
Drew believes that, quite simply, the vice eg the drugs, booze, social media or food is just a symptom of a deeper rooted problem. It's just the coping mechanism people have found works to supress the hurt and pain of the past.
Drew's mission is to change the away this planet looks at and approaches addiction.
You can connect with Drew on IG @drew_wild or through www.litsrecovery.com where he helps people all over the globe understand and work through their addiction, trauma and codependency.

Has your drinking ever made you blackout? What's the worst thing you've done in a blackout? Breastfed, driven, slept with a stranger, vomited, said awful things, or ended up in a strange place (not all in the same night....)
Unfortunately these are the dangerous and reckless situations that Breeza and Maso has found themselves in when drinking and in a blackout.
So why do some people blackout when drinking, and others don't?
Buckle up for this episode as the girls share the wisdom they have learnt (from experts like William Porter, author of Alcohol Explained) on blackouts.
You, the listeners have also shared your blackout stories in this ep, thank you, it makes the girls feel slightly better!

Howdy folks, this ep is bringing all the feels! Breeza and Maso discover they are both feeling a bit meh and are missing the loosey goosey times on the sauce.
In this ep, the girls discuss that it's not all rainbows and lollypops in sobriety (or in Breeza's case moderating). There are times when they have both wanted to dive down a bottle of rose to have a night of mischief.
The sober space is a super positive space, but in this ep, you'll hear a couple of negative nancys speaking their truth, and telling you how they are feeling right now - there is no sugar coating here, you are getting warts and all!

They don't come more gruff and burly than Jimmy Buckley, but at his core, he is a big softie, with a deep and infectious belly chuckle.
Jimmy played in the Victoria Football League from 1976 - 1990. What a time to be alive! His week consisted of playing footy with his mates, winning games, then frothing on with the boys to celebrate. Jimmy has many fond memories of these years.
But what happens next when your footy career ends, you have no job and the boredom kicks in? In Jimmy's case, his drinking increased to the point of it becoming a daily habit, and at times it wasn't with 'the boys', he was drinking on his own.
Fast forward to 2023, Jimmy hasn't had any booze for over 2 years. In his words, he has 'rebooted' himself, and it's like he can 'see the ball better.' In this ep, you will hear about the courageous conversation that was started by Jimmy's son Dylan, to address his Dads drinking, and to help him on his road to recovery.
The girls think they have met their match when it comes to bantering. Jimmy is a storyteller, he loves reminiscing about the good old days and now he is sharing his story to help others. Buckle up with Jimmy Buckley!

The girls have got their first-ever scoop! Yep, your ears are about to hear something that the rest of the world doesn't know - and the best part is you can be part of this world first at Pub With No Booze (scroll down for tickets).
Now, enter the classroom of NON, your teachers are Founder, Aaron Trotman, and GM Rish Ravalia! NON is an alternative wine, but it's like nothing else on the market.
The flavours are REAL, and each bottle is prepared in a michelin star kitchen by 4 chefs. Aaron is all about giving people an experience.
NON was born to solve a problem. The problem is being solved in Australia, London and now America! What an exciting time to be a pioneer in the non-alc space. Fun fact - 70% of people who consume non-alcs also drink booze, we are talking about a huge market here.
This episode will surprise and delight you, you will gain a new appreciation for NON and the non-alc space. Aaron and Rish are cracking fellas and Maso and Breeza can't wait to hang out with them at Pub with No Booze.
