He reminisces about his own weekend escapades, sharing tales of his fifteen-year cycle of binge drinking and the struggle to find joy in Fridays and Saturdays without alcohol.

His reflections are both humorous and poignant, making this episode a must-listen for anyone navigating the rocky road of sobriety. So, if you're wondering how to survive the weekend without a drink in hand, tune in to hear Boyle's take on turning those challenging days into something more meaningful.
