This is why I say you need some sort of creative outlet. You need to exercise. You need to channel and funnel this fucking energy, this fucking old booze energy, into something positive.
Ever hit that wall where your sobriety journey feels like it's stuck in neutral? In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle opens up about his experience with the notorious plateau phase of quitting alcohol. This is the period, usually around the two to three-month mark, where the initial motivation wanes and the real test of willpower begins.
Boyle doesn't sugarcoat it; he shares the raw truth about the challenges he faced during days 71 to 100 of his sobriety journey. But it's not all doom and gloom. Boyle's signature humor and candid storytelling make this episode both relatable and inspiring. He talks about how crucial it was for him to find creative outlets and stick to an exercise routine to channel the energy that once went into drinking.
Whether it's picking up a new hobby or just hitting the gym, these activities helped him stay focused and push through the tough times. Boyle also emphasizes the importance of having a clear vision and not letting the 'devil on your shoulder' derail your progress. By maintaining tunnel vision and pushing through, he found a renewed sense of purpose and clarity. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who feels like they're hitting a wall in their sobriety journey.
It's a reminder that even when things get tough, there's always a way forward, and sometimes, a little humor can make all the difference.
