David Boyle's Quest for a New Hobby in Sobriety

I suppose the podcast is going to help with that. I'm just going to have to do this podcast every day and see how that goes.
What do you do when your go-to cure for boredom is no longer an option? In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle takes us through his first weekend without alcohol. Boyle candidly shares the struggle of facing boredom head-on and the surprising realization that he used alcohol to fill the void. He even contemplates smoking weed as a substitute but wisely recognizes the risk of swapping one addiction for another.
With his usual mix of humor and honesty, Boyle dives into the challenge of finding a new hobby outside of comedy, which he considers more than just a pastime. This episode isn't just about overcoming addiction; it's about rediscovering what makes life enjoyable without relying on substances. If you've ever wondered how to fill the gaps left by alcohol, Boyle's journey might just offer some inspiration.
