It's so strange that I just get inundated with fucking heartfelt, beautiful messages from strangers and people I barely know, people that know me only through the podcast and I get to my face-to-face friends, my nokia friends, and they wouldn't know what the fuck's going on.
Picture this: You've been sober for over a year, and the people closest to you have no idea. In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle reflects on his one year and 266 days of sobriety.
