Honestly, I don't even think it's a motivation thing. I think it's just an exhaustion thing... I'm too old. I just have to go forever now non-stop and I think I've come to terms with that and I'm comfortable with it. It's just going to be non-stop all the time forever.
Ever felt like you're constantly starting over? Comedian David Boyle knows the feeling all too well. In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', Boyle shares his latest adventure in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (or 'Jits' as he calls it) and how it’s more than just a physical challenge—it's a metaphor for his journey to sobriety. After taking some hard knocks on the mat, Boyle reflects on how these struggles mirror his own battles with addiction and self-improvement.
He’s not just trying to master Jits; he’s trying to master his life. Despite the bruises and setbacks, Boyle feels like he’s turned a corner. He’s tired, but it’s a good kind of tired—the kind that comes from pushing yourself and knowing you’re on the right path. Boyle's candid storytelling, sprinkled with his trademark humor, offers a raw and relatable look at what it means to keep going even when the going gets tough.
This episode isn’t just for those on a sobriety journey; it’s for anyone who’s ever faced a challenge and wondered if they could overcome it. Tune in for a dose of laughter, resilience, and the occasional chokehold.
