I'm noticing the road is paved with squirrels that couldn't make a decision. So I'm moving forward. I'm putting me in meaning.
What happens when positivity feels like a sugar rush gone wrong? In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle tackles the sticky subject of emotional sobriety and his aversion to relentless positivity. When a friend called his podcast negative, Boyle had a different take—he thinks excessive positivity is downright gross. He humorously dissects the overly cheerful attitudes of some people, including an obscure New York comedian he follows who embodies 'captain positivity'.
Boyle's reflections are as raw as they are hilarious, offering a refreshing perspective on how he manages his emotions after quitting alcohol. Through his signature wit, Boyle questions how perpetual positivity can guard against life's inevitable hardships. It's a candid and thought-provoking listen that will make you laugh and ponder the fine line between optimism and reality. Tune in for a five-minute dose of humor and heartfelt honesty.
