“Recorded every single day since the day he quit drinking - thousands of episodes, not one missed. Raw, unfiltered, real recovery. No script. No filter.”
Get ready to be moved by real-life accounts of booze-soaked chaos, told by someone who’s now looking back with a clear head. This instalment of *I’m Quitting Alcohol* finds Australian comedian David Boyle ticking off a huge sober-dad milestone: finally taking his son to the World Cup, a promise made when the kid was in tears about leaving Australia for the US.
You’ll hear Boyle riff on the France v Morocco quarter-final, sunburnt "whiteys" cheering at passing clouds, and the simple joy of a father–son day out where everyone’s fried but happy. It’s a quick snapshot of how life in recovery can still be ridiculous, fun and full of big moments, just without the booze. Then it’s time for "Fucked Up Friday", the weekly segment where Boyle reads outrageous drinking stories sent in by listeners.
This week’s tale comes from "Clayton Biggs", who shares a chaotic first night in Cambodia: joints in ashtrays, heavy drinking, and a flirtation with a "sexy tall" local that ends with a shocking bathroom reveal and a panicked exit, bags in hand. Six months later, he bumps into the same person in another bar and almost gets pulled back into the same situation again.
Boyle’s running commentary on Southeast Asian ladyboys, drunk decision-making and sexual misadventures stays raw and very unfiltered, but always framed as part of the messy past that people in recovery are trying to understand. The style is fast, sweary, and completely off-the-cuff, aimed at people who are tired of polished self-help chatter and want honest, funny talk about what alcohol really led to in their lives.
If you like your sobriety content short, blunt and packed with jaw-dropping stories that remind you why you quit, this one’s worth your five minutes. How many of your own "Fucked Up Friday" nights suddenly spring to mind?
