David Boyle's Humorous Take on Addiction: Understanding the Loss of Control

The best description of addiction I've ever heard. It makes sense in the way you chase people away and you end up alone, but it also makes sense in the way that when you quit, one of the scariest parts is opening yourself back up to the world.
Ever wondered how addiction chips away at your sense of self? Comedian David Boyle dives right into this in his podcast episode 'Day 319 - Addiction for Dummies'. With his trademark humor and sharp insights, Boyle breaks down how addiction isn't just about substances but about losing control and narrowing your life's options. Imagine having fewer and fewer choices until you're stuck in a loop you can't escape. That's the crux of what Boyle explores here.
He mixes in a bit of neuroscience and behavioral patterns to explain why it's so hard to break free from addiction. It's not just about willpower; it's about reclaiming your agency and opening up your world again. If you're curious about how addiction really works or looking for a fresh perspective on recovery, this episode is a must-listen. Boyle's candid storytelling makes complex ideas accessible and even entertaining.
Tune in for a dose of humor and some eye-opening reflections on what it means to lose and regain control.
