David Boyle, the comedian behind 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', celebrates his 11-year wedding anniversary in this episode. Boyle reflects on the swift passage of time, recounting his plans to coast on the previous year's celebrations but deciding to surprise his wife with a special emerald diamond ring. His humour shines through as he jests about the guilt that spurred this grand gesture, especially after leaving his wife to juggle work and kids while he was away.
Boyle's candid and hilarious take on relationships is both relatable and entertaining, offering a glimpse into his unique perspective on marriage and sobriety. He contrasts his thoughtful gift with the quirky letter he received from his wife, originally intended for his 40th birthday. This episode isn't just about anniversaries, though.

The episode is a rollercoaster of emotions - from heartfelt gratitude to the looming anxiety of Monday mornings - all delivered with Boyle's trademark wit. If you're looking for a laugh and a dose of reality, this episode is a must-listen.
