David Boyle, the comedian behind 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', takes listeners on a rollercoaster ride in this episode titled '4 Years 334 Days - Ask Boyle'. With his signature mix of humour and brutal honesty, Boyle recounts an incident in a car park that spirals into a reflection on overreactions and personal growth.

Boyle’s storytelling is raw and unfiltered, making it easy to connect with his journey from alcoholic mayhem to sobriety. He doesn't shy away from sharing his struggles, like his battle with yellow teeth from too much tea and decaf coffee. It's these relatable moments that make his podcast both entertaining and authentic. The heart of the episode, however, lies in Boyle’s response to a question from Kev in Vancouver about whether he considers himself 'in recovery'.
Boyle challenges the traditional view of recovery, suggesting that for him, alcoholism was more of a symptom than a disease. He believes that the term 'recovery' can be disempowering and prefers to see his sobriety as simply something he doesn’t do anymore. This perspective is refreshingly honest and might resonate with those who feel alienated by conventional recovery narratives. Boyle acknowledges the powerlessness he feels over alcohol but emphasises that his strength comes from not engaging with it at all.
If you’re looking for a podcast that combines humour, candid reflections, and a no-nonsense approach to sobriety, this episode is a must-listen. Boyle’s unique take on recovery and his ability to find humour in everyday struggles make for an engaging and thought-provoking experience. So, why not give it a go?
