David Boyle's daily podcast, 'I'm Quitting Alcohol,' takes a raw and often humorous look at his journey from chaotic drinker to sober dad. In this episode, Boyle recounts a troubling incident involving his eight-year-old son, who had to fend off three older boys using his Jiu-Jitsu skills. Boyle wrestles with his instincts to give aggressive advice and instead tries to guide his son towards making his own decisions.
This struggle highlights the complexities of parenting, especially when trying to break the cycle of anger and violence. The episode then shifts gears as Boyle answers a listener's question about his worst hangovers. With vivid storytelling, he shares tales of brutal hangovers in Thailand, New Zealand, and Bali, each one more harrowing than the last. The most significant, however, was the week-long hangover that led him to quit drinking for good.
Boyle's candid reflections offer a mix of dark humour and genuine insight into the challenges of sobriety and the impact of alcohol on mental health. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating their own journey towards sobriety or supporting someone who is. You'll find yourself laughing, cringing, and maybe even tearing up as Boyle lays it all out there. So, if you're looking for a brutally honest yet entertaining take on life after alcohol, this episode has it all.
