Get the buttons here!David Boyle's Saturday Saga: From Booze to Self-Discovery
I was drinking to get blackout drunk always. That was the aim, and I've never really thought about why I was drinking like that.
Ever felt lost after achieving a big goal? That's where comedian David Boyle finds himself in this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol'. After successfully quitting drinking, Boyle grapples with a sense of aimlessness. But instead of dwelling on it, he's decided to turn his Saturdays into longer narratives, diving deep into his past to uncover why he drank so heavily in the first place.
This isn't just a casual stroll down memory lane; Boyle is prepared for a brutal and messy journey through the dark corners of his psyche. He warns that some revelations might be tough to handle, but believes it's crucial for his healing process. Alongside this introspective quest, Boyle shares a lighter tale about a friend's success in the gin industry with a brand called Patient Wolf, which has won accolades for its quality.
Despite his past, Boyle humorously admits he couldn't tell the difference between this award-winning gin and the cheapest bottle on the shelf. The episode also touches on Boyle's life as a comedian, including the challenges of creating a themed solo show for an upcoming tour in India and gigs in the Himalayas. With three hours of work yielding just two minutes of progress, Boyle's journey is as much about perseverance as it is about sobriety.
Tune in for a mix of deep self-reflection, humorous anecdotes, and the ongoing adventures of a comedian finding his way post-alcohol.
