The only problem with the sun is it makes me want to drink. It triggers me like if I was speaking to a psychologist about drinking.
Imagine navigating the chilly streets of Melbourne during winter while battling the urge to drink. In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle opens up about how the city's winter blues and the pandemic have impacted his mental health. He humorously discusses the one thing that makes winter bearable for him—the sight of the sun—and how it surprisingly triggers his desire to drink.
As he dreams of escaping Melbourne for sunnier destinations, Boyle also dives into the history of sun worship and its uplifting effects on human spirits. But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows; Boyle candidly talks about the government restrictions and the rebellious spirit they’ve ignited as the weather warms up. His honesty shines through as he tackles the daily challenges of staying sober, sharing how even the simplest things can be triggers.
Whether you're a fellow comedian or someone grappling with addiction, Boyle’s mix of humor and heartfelt reflection offers a unique perspective on sobriety. Tune in for a dose of laughter, thoughtful musings, and a touch of wanderlust.
