There's only so much rejection you can take. There's only so many doors getting slammed in your face you can take without a drink.
Imagine signing up for a job, only to find out it’s not what you expected. Comedian David Boyle dives into this very scenario in this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol'. Boyle recounts his time as a door-to-door salesman in Sydney, a job he stumbled into after answering an ad for 'marketing guns'—which turned out to be commission-based sales. With his signature blend of humor and honesty, Boyle paints a vivid picture of the constant rejection and meager earnings he faced.
But it wasn’t all doom and gloom. Through the chaos, he found camaraderie with his fellow salespeople, using humor as a coping mechanism for the stress and absurdity of the job. Boyle’s reflections go beyond just the laughs, touching on the resilience needed to push through tough times and the pitfalls of alcohol addiction. His story is a rollercoaster of emotions, from the hilarity of his misadventures to the sobering lessons learned.
This episode is perfect for anyone who enjoys a good laugh while pondering the deeper aspects of life, making it a must-listen for those on a sobriety journey or anyone curious about the human spirit's resilience.
