I need to break the fucking cigarette cycle, so I'm going to give myself Six Weeks. I won't have a cigarette for Six Weeks. I don't even know. I don't even know if that's plausible.
Picture this: a comedian who’s already navigated the stormy seas of alcohol addiction decides to take on another beast—cigarettes. In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', David Boyle shares his first day off the darts. With his signature blend of humor and raw honesty, Boyle dives into the nitty-gritty of his smoking habit and why he’s decided it’s time to quit.
He admits right off the bat that he doesn’t really want to give up smoking, just like he didn’t want to quit drinking. But, as he puts it, the habit has spiraled out of control, affecting both his health and his wallet. Boyle’s candid reflections on smoking—a pack a day, no less—offer a window into the life of someone battling multiple addictions.
He talks about the stress and financial burden of his habit, but also doesn’t shy away from sharing why he loves smoking so much. It’s this mix of love and hate that makes his story so relatable. And let’s not forget the humor. Boyle's way of tackling serious issues with a comedic twist makes this episode a must-listen.
He even throws in his two cents on the fear-mongering around smoking, suggesting that an occasional cigarette isn’t the end of the world. But don’t get him wrong; he knows that a pack-a-day habit is far from harmless. Throughout the episode, Boyle’s vulnerability shines through as he navigates the rocky road of quitting smoking. His decision to go smoke-free for six weeks is a testament to his determination, and he openly shares the struggles of that first tough day.
If you’re looking for a podcast that blends humor with heartfelt honesty, 'I'm Quitting Alcohol' is your go-to. David Boyle’s journey to kick cigarettes is not just about breaking a habit; it’s about the broader battle against addiction and finding strength in vulnerability. Tune in for a laugh, stay for the inspiration.
