David Boyle is back with another episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', sharing his journey from a booze-fuelled past to a more mindful present. This time, Boyle dives into his attempts to squeeze some life into his daily routine. He starts by recounting his experience with Jiu Jitsu (or 'Jits' as he fondly calls it) and how it impacts his physical and mental state.
Boyle's candid discussion about struggling with sleep and diet while trying to stay fit will resonate with anyone who's been on a similar journey. His humour shines through as he describes putting on his rash guard and realising he's got a bit of a 'muffin top'. But don't worry, he's optimistic about reversing it with a few more Jits sessions and better sleep.
Boyle also talks about incorporating meditation into his hectic schedule, sharing the highs and lows of trying to calm a chaotic mind. Meditating in his car during lunch breaks might sound unconventional, but it's the only time he can manage without dozing off. Despite the struggles, Boyle's determination to find some peace amidst the chaos is both relatable and inspiring.
His reflections on the importance of balancing work and life are peppered with light-hearted anecdotes that make you chuckle while nodding in agreement. By the end of the episode, you'll find yourself rooting for Boyle as he navigates this challenging yet rewarding path to sobriety. It's a raw, honest, and at times hilarious look at what it takes to reclaim your life from the clutches of alcohol.
If you're looking for a mix of humour, real talk, and a dash of inspiration, this episode is definitely worth a listen.
