I can't just enjoy a coffee. Why can't I just enjoy a coffee every now and then? Or just one a day?
David Boyle, the comedian behind the 'I'm Quitting Alcohol' podcast, is back with another entertaining and brutally honest episode. This time, Boyle is tackling his caffeine addiction. He's reached a point where his coffee consumption mirrors his past relationship with alcohol - all or nothing. Boyle's humorous yet serious reflection on his inability to moderate anything, even coffee, is both relatable and eye-opening. He shares anecdotes about his son's ability to moderate, something he admires but struggles to emulate.
Boyle's caffeine habit has spiralled out of control over the past 14 months, leading him to realise that he needs to quit once again. His candid discussion about the impact of excessive coffee on his sleep and overall well-being is a stark reminder of the challenges faced in addiction recovery. Boyle also touches on the broader theme of self-care as he navigates the ups and downs of sobriety and ageing.
He emphasises the importance of sleep and routine, especially as he gears up for a busy period leading to the Edinburgh festival. With his trademark humour and raw honesty, Boyle's reflections on moderation, health, and ageing will resonate with anyone who's struggled to find balance in their lives. If you're looking for a mix of laughter and genuine insight into the struggles of addiction and recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
