As an artist living in Brooklyn, I found “The Badass and Sober Experiment” to be a refreshingly irreverent take on sobriety that cuts through the usual self-help platitudes with raw honesty and unexpected humor. What sets this book apart is its practical, no-nonsense approach to navigating social situations without alcohol – something particularly valuable for someone like me who frequently attends gallery openings where wine flows freely. Leigh’s writing style manages to be both encouraging and brutally honest, making this feel less like a traditional recovery book and more like advice from a straight-talking friend who’s been there.
I love how he ties fitness and entrepreneurship into the sober lifestyle. As someone who’s been thinking about opening my own coffee shop someday, his insights about running a business with a clear head really hit home. The book’s BASE (Badass and Sober Experiment) concept gives you practical challenges to work through, which makes the whole process feel more like leveling up in a video game than traditional recovery.
This book is legit. As a mechanic, I see guys drinking all the time after work, but this helped me quit without feeling like a loser. The writer talks normal, like one of us at the shop, and breaks down getting sober just like fixing a car. No fancy BS, just stuff that works. If you’re tired of feeling like crap every morning and want to quit drinking, grab this book. Makes being sober actually sound pretty badass.
“After caring for so many patients struggling with alcohol-related health issues, I appreciate how this book offers a practical, empowering path to sobriety without shame or judgment.”
“After twenty years watching alcohol affect both my staff and customers, I wish I’d found this straightforward guide to quitting drinking sooner – it’s like a business plan for getting your life back.”
“As an ER nurse who’s spent countless nights treating alcohol-related emergencies, this book speaks the truth we rarely discuss in healthcare – that quitting drinking isn’t just about willpower or hitting rock bottom.”
“I cannot thank Kevin enough for this book, it changed the way I use my spare time. instead of drinking, I’m creating.”
“as a food blogger I’m constantly pairing meals with wines. The BASE book allowed me to separate the two and realize that I didn’t have to drink to be good at my job.”
“I am not my mistakes.
I am my comebacks.
I am not defined by my stumbles,
but by how epically I get back up.
I am a sober badass in progress,
and progress isn’t always pretty.
But damn, it’s worth it.”
