For like millions of years, the only goal humans had was to try not to die, whether that be fighting off a panther, gathering berries, to eat the high berries, the very high berries at the top of the tree, the tastiest berries, or just not living in your own feces.
Ever thought about how simple life would be if our only goal was to survive? In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle reflects on his journey from a chaotic life of drinking to a more grounded, sober existence. Boyle humorously explores the idea of living like a hunter-gatherer, suggesting that men should embrace not just the hunting but also the gathering aspect of life.
He shares his musings on how our ancestors' primary goal was simply to stay alive, comparing it to his own modern-day challenges and goals, which might seem trivial in comparison but are no less important in his world. Boyle also delves into the impact of childhood trauma on his relationships and the vicious cycle of sadness and comfort eating he's working to break.
His reflections are a mix of humor and deep thought, offering listeners a fresh perspective on life's goals and the importance of resilience. Tune in for an engaging and often funny take on sobriety, personal growth, and the timeless struggle to keep going.
