In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle takes listeners on a rollercoaster of thoughts and emotions, from spiritual reflections to outrageous stories. Boyle starts by sharing his newfound fascination with Buddhism, particularly the teachings of Jetsumna Tenzin Palmo, a Western nun who spent 12 years in a cave. He talks about how listening to her helps him find some peace amidst his chaotic mind, even if it's just for a few minutes.
He humorously visualises himself as a monk, complete with robes and a shaved head, pondering whether he could genuinely embrace such a lifestyle. This self-reflection is both amusing and sincere, revealing Boyle's ongoing struggle to balance his good and bad tendencies. The episode then takes a sharp turn as Boyle transitions from spiritual musings to reading a 'Fucked Up Friday' story submitted by a listener.

Don't miss out on Boyle's journey from 'alcoholic maniac' to 'sober lunatic'. Why not give it a listen and see if you can relate to Boyle's chaotic yet insightful journey?
