I'm Quitting Alcohol

David Boyle - Comedian

I'm David Boyle. Australian comedian. Brutal alcoholic.
On the day I quit drinking I hit record on a podcast. I haven't missed a day since.
Blackouts, arrests, destruction — 20 years of booze soaked mayhem processed one day at a time. No script. No filter. No drinks. Just the brutal honest reality of what giving up alcohol actually looks like from Day 1.
Thousands of episodes. Seven years. Not one day missed.
If you want a raw unfiltered insight into the real journey of sobriety and recovery — not the glossy version, not the clinical version, just the honest human truth — this is it.
If you're thinking about quitting alcohol, already on your sobriety journey, or just sober curious — start at Episode 1 and come along for the ride.
Some of you will get something out of it. Some of you won't.
To start from Day 1 — hit Episodes, change the order to Oldest to Newest, and start with Episode 1.
This is how to stop drinking.
P.S — I swear A LOT.
