That idea of enduring hardship, like I reckon I could do a day in Siberia, in the gulags, at the labor camps, if it was for like a tv show or something, if it was a challenge, if there were other people there and I had to beat them at, like manufacturing face masks or something like that, yeah, I could do that for A Day.
What does it mean to truly endure? In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle takes listeners on a raw and reflective journey through the concept of endurance on Day 334 of his sobriety. Boyle opens up about his acceptance of death, sharing the emotional experience of writing farewell letters and shedding tears. He candidly admits that while he may be at peace with the idea of others' deaths, his own is a different story.
