This is why you don't stop the momentum once you've got a little bit of momentum. This has already been going on for like Two Or Three Weeks now and I'm still doing everything, but I'm just not doing it well.
What happens when a comedian known for his wild past tries to stay on the straight and narrow? In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', David Boyle gives us an unfiltered glimpse into his battle with maintaining momentum in sobriety. Despite his best efforts, Boyle admits that he sometimes lets things slip, particularly his meditation and writing routines.
This lapse, he says, allows the 'bad stuff' to creep back into his life, reminding us all how crucial consistency is in the journey to recovery. Boyle opens up about his need to write for at least an hour a day to keep himself grounded, no matter what the content is.
He also dives into his experiences with ecstasy, sharing how it floods the brain with serotonin, making everything feel euphoric but also causing more harm than good in the long run. His candid discussion on the drug’s effects and its eventual ban highlights the double-edged sword of substances that offer temporary highs but lasting lows.
With his signature humor and raw honesty, Boyle makes this episode both relatable and eye-opening for anyone who has faced setbacks on their path to self-improvement. Whether you're on your own sobriety journey or just curious about the ups and downs of kicking old habits, this episode offers a mix of laughs and valuable lessons.
