David Boyle's Third Day of Sobriety: Meditation Mishaps and Ego Trips

I wonder what else I'm good at. Can't just be meditation? Probably a lot of things- meditation, comedy, drinking- I don't know if that's meant to be going through your head when you're meditating, how good you are at meditating.
Imagine trying to quiet the storm in your head while also grappling with an inflated sense of self. That's exactly what comedian David Boyle tackles in his third episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol'. As he shares his journey from being an 'alcoholic maniac' to a 'sober lunatic', Boyle dives into his first attempts at meditation.
You’ll laugh as he describes silencing most of the voices in his head, only to have his ego loudly declare that he's a natural at it. He even jokes about feeling like he could be the next Buddha if he just put in a bit more effort. But it's not all laughs; Boyle touches on the critical importance of day three in quitting alcohol, often the point where many decide to drink again.
His candid reflections and humorous storytelling make you feel less alone in your own struggles. Whether you're on a sobriety journey yourself or just looking for a good laugh, Boyle's raw honesty and wit are sure to resonate.
