David Boyle, the comedian behind 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', brings a hilarious yet raw take on sobriety in this episode titled '6 Years 43 days - Winter Solstice'. Boyle finds himself grappling with the winter blues, where humour seems to hibernate until spring. He candidly shares his frustration with family dynamics, as his mum insists on giving birthday presents a day early, leading to a comical yet relatable family squabble.
The episode offers a glimpse into Boyle's world, where he navigates the absurdity of everyday life while maintaining sobriety.
