Being the tough guy isn't all it's cracked up to be. If you want to be the tough guy, you got to fight, and there's a fucking chance, you're going to get stabbed to death in a fucking toilet.
Ever felt the weight of depression while on the road to sobriety? In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle opens up about his own struggles with feeling down, even when things seem to be going well. He takes us on a trip down memory lane to Hassan, a place named after the only black guy in town who met a tragic end.
Boyle reflects on the diverse community around Hassan and the bizarre way they treated a Cambodian guy as if he were black, simply because there were no other black people around. It's a raw and honest look at how trying to be the 'tough guy' can lead to devastating consequences. Through his storytelling, Boyle offers a candid perspective on how depression can impact sobriety and the importance of learning from past mistakes.
Tune in for a mix of humor, reflection, and heartfelt honesty as Boyle navigates these complex themes.
