David Boyle, the comedian behind 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', takes listeners on a wild ride through the ups and downs of his sober journey. In this episode, Boyle shares a hilariously chaotic start to his day, beginning with a groggy morning after just four hours of sleep. He recounts his desperate attempt to fight sleep deprivation with a hefty dose of creatine, which leads to a race against time to reach work and the toilet.
Boyle's morning mishaps continue with the unexpected surprise of a pre-warmed toilet seat, courtesy of another tradesman. With his motivation at rock bottom and the weather teasing him with hopes of rain, Boyle's day seemed destined for disaster. Yet, in a twist of fate, an electrical surge halts work early, allowing him to catch his son's soccer game and salvage the day.
