David Boyle is back with his unique blend of comedy and reflection in the podcast 'I'm Quitting Alcohol'. In this episode, titled '6 Years 11 days - Dreams and Kindness', Boyle shares his journey of sobriety, highlighting the changes he's experiencing as he transitions from chaos to clarity. You'll hear about Boyle's new early morning routine which has him tucked in bed by 9 o'clock to ensure he gets enough sleep for a 5am wake-up call.
This shift has brought back something he hasn't experienced in years - dreams. The vivid narratives unfolding in his sleep range from thrilling adventures to unsettling nightmares, yet they offer a fascinating glimpse into his subconscious. Boyle also reflects on finishing the hefty novel 'Life and Fate' by Vasily Grossman, which left him pondering the blurred lines between good and evil. His takeaway? Kindness is the true guiding principle.
Whether it's towards friends, strangers, or even enemies, kindness is the key to overcoming life's darker aspects. Boyle's candid recounting of his dreams, mixed with his philosophical musings, makes for an engaging listen. With a sprinkle of humour and raw honesty, Boyle's podcast offers a refreshing perspective on life after alcohol. It's not just about quitting booze; it's about embracing change, finding joy in the mundane, and learning to be kind.
If you're curious about how dreams can reveal hidden truths or if you're seeking a dose of laughter and wisdom, this episode is worth your time.
