Traveling is amazing if you're getting drunk all the time. If you want something to happen, just sit in any bar in any corner of the world, anywhere. This is a rule. And just drink and eventually something amazing will happen. That's why it's so hard to quit drinking.
Picture this: It's Christmas Eve, and comedian David Boyle is in Antigua, Guatemala. But instead of festive cheer, he's grappling with the idea of how sobriety has changed his travel experiences. In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', Boyle dives into the stark differences between his past alcohol-fueled adventures and his current sober journeys. He reflects on how alcohol once made his travels feel more thrilling and spontaneous, but now, without it, he faces a new reality.
Boyle's wife, however, continues to embrace the spontaneity of travel, highlighting a contrast in their experiences. With his trademark humor and raw honesty, Boyle shares his thoughts on the evolving nature of travel, the role of technology in making exploration easier, and the lingering temptation of alcohol. Whether you're navigating your own sobriety journey or just curious about how it can change one's perspective on travel, this episode offers a candid look at the highs and lows of sober adventures.
