I'm a refugee in New South Wales for an indeterminate amount of time.
Ever found yourself stuck in a different state during the holidays? In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle recounts his experience of being stranded in New South Wales during the pandemic. Boyle dives into the challenges of staying sober in stressful times, especially when separated from loved ones. He shares his humorous yet poignant thoughts on the skyrocketing prices of cigarettes in Australia and the little white lies he tells his family about his whereabouts.
With his usual blend of raw honesty and wit, Boyle reflects on the unpredictability of life and the importance of acknowledging birthdays, even when things don’t go as planned. As he puts it, 'Tomorrow is my wife's birthday again. And as usual, it's becoming a little bit of a tradition. Pretend I'm going to see my brother or someone go to a shopping centre. I don't know what I was going to buy her.
If the roles were reversed, if it was my birthday, you wouldn't have been able to buy me anything either. Thank you, that's all I ask for, just a little bit of acknowledgement. I'm a refugee in New South Wales for an indeterminate amount of time.' Whether you're navigating your own sobriety journey or just need a good laugh, this episode offers a relatable and entertaining look at finding silver linings in life's chaos.
