Ever wondered what goes through the mind of someone who's been sober for over five years? In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle tackles this question head-on, blending humour with raw honesty. After an unexpected early finish at work, Boyle dives into a listener's question about the temptation of alcohol after years of sobriety.
Harby, a listener, asks what it's like for Boyle to encounter alcohol in everyday situations, like seeing a half-drunk beer or passing by the beer section in a supermarket. Boyle doesn't shy away from sharing his experiences, recounting moments when the allure of alcohol still tugs at him, albeit weakly compared to his drinking days. He recalls his past struggles, including never leaving a drop of beer behind and the magnetic pull of a cold gin.
Yet, he also highlights how time has lessened these urges, making them almost negligible now. With his signature mix of candidness and comedy, Boyle offers a glimpse into the ongoing journey of staying sober. Whether you're on your own path to sobriety or just curious about the process, this episode provides a refreshing take on the highs and lows of quitting alcohol.
