I'm fucking full blown, like with the kickboxing, I just don't see how I'm ever going to get better. That's how bad I am, even though I know how you fucking get better at things. You just suck, you suck, you get slightly better. It's over time. You inevitably get better at something if you continue doing it. It's like a law, even though I know that I just don't see.
Ever wondered how sobriety can open doors to unexpected passions? In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle dives into his newfound interests that keep him grounded and entertained. Boyle talks about his journey into martial arts, specifically jujitsu and Muay Thai kickboxing. He admits he’s still finding his footing, joking, 'You just suck, you suck, you get slightly better'. His candidness about the learning curve is both refreshing and relatable. But that's not all.
Boyle also rekindles his love for skateboarding, sharing his awe for the incredible tricks he sees online. While he humorously acknowledges he might never reach those heights, the idea of him skateboarding to his Muay Thai class brings a smile. One of the most poignant parts of this episode is Boyle's reflection on de-escalation. He recounts a moment where he chose to intervene verbally in a physical altercation, a skill he’s honed in his sober life.
It's a reminder that sobriety isn’t just about giving up alcohol; it’s about gaining new skills and perspectives. Boyle’s humor and authenticity shine through as he encourages listeners to embrace new experiences. Whether it's martial arts, skateboarding, or any other hobby, his message is clear: 'You inevitably get better at something if you continue doing it'. So why not take a page out of Boyle's book and try something new?
