His reflections on workplace dynamics, especially the unspoken rule of not talking during lunch, add a humorous yet relatable touch. He also touches on financial stress, discussing his debt and the pressure to provide for his family. Despite these pressures, Boyle finds solace in his routine and even contemplates the long-term feasibility of his current lifestyle.
His candidness about occasionally breaking his sobriety streak adds a layer of authenticity and reminds you that recovery is a journey filled with ups and downs. With his signature blend of humour and raw honesty, Boyle's reflections on feeling institutionalised offer a unique perspective on life after alcohol.
