One for the Road: The Quit Drinking Podcast · 8 Years Sober and I Realized Sobriety Hadn’t Fixed Me | Victoria Vanstone · 7 Aug 2026 podcast

I'd burst into the pub and my arms would flail out and go, Wee You know, it could be Sunday at midday when the door the bolt used to come down on the door.

Right, and that they would open and I was like, Yes, it was like going out on stage because I was an actor.

And it was a pub in something called the New Town, had a public bar, saloon bar.

I was a carpet fitter, so I'd go in a public bar, but every now and again I would creep round to a saloon bar and there was a different clientele in there.

You know, the posha lot we used to call 'em, the estate agents, the lawyers, the you know, whatever they were, funeral directors, 'cause you had true loves up the road, you know, and they was always in there in their black suits.

I mean I'm a Cancerian, so that's in my nature anyway, but I used to love being indoors on a Sunday.

My mum would be you know, I've said it before, the carpenters would

be on the record playing my dad tinking around in the shed, the smell of roast beef coming from the kitchen.

And I was happy in that environment, you know.
