Little Addictions with Catherine Gray

About this episode

Vic interviews Catherine Gray about her book 'Little Addictions' and the small habits that can impact sobriety.

Vic had to properly brace herself for this one… sitting down with Catherine Gray, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober . This is the book that completely changed the course of Vic’s sobriety. The one that, for the first time, made an alcohol-free life feel exciting rather than something to endure. So yes… she tried not to gush. No promises. As expected, Vic and Catherine had plenty to share. Catherine’s latest book Little Addictions dives into all the little things we lean on, the scrolling, the snacking, the busy distractions, the habits that don’t look like a problem… but might quietly be running the show. From favourite reality TV to chewing gum habits and even watching traffic on the M25, nothing is off limits. Together they unpack what “little addictions” really are, and why, as sober people, we might find it easier to quit the big things… but struggle to moderate the small ones. Confused? Don’t worry, it all makes sense. And if you fancy listening to two grown, sober women who have both been arrested in the past… you’re in luck. (Brixton 1, Brighton 1) No shame here, but lots of laughs and honesty! 💛 Resources & Links 📘 Victoria’s…
