When you're boozing, you operate from ego and you're very sensitive and you think you're hard, done by and like you fucking start fights and you, like you just fight about petty shit, that if you fucking took the booze away, it would blow over in like seconds.
What happens when a comedian decides to ditch the booze and face life head-on? In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', David Boyle offers a candid glimpse into his journey from alcohol-fueled chaos to sobriety. Boyle's story isn't just about giving up alcohol; it's about navigating the intense pressure of being a comedian, especially when the audience has high expectations.
He paints a vivid picture of what it's like to perform for fans who came specifically to see him versus a general crowd just out for a laugh. The stakes are different, and so is the pressure. Boyle also dives deep into how alcohol impacted his relationships, particularly with his partner. He shares how their relationship was relatively smooth when he was sober, but turned turbulent once he started drinking again.

Boyle's reflections are raw and relatable, filled with humor and honesty. His journey serves as a powerful reminder that it's never too late to choose sobriety and find success. Whether you're struggling with alcohol yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights wrapped in Boyle's signature wit.
