Great listen!

Loved listening to this book on my road trip down to Florida. The author's tone is engaging and entertaining throughout. It was interesting to see what Brett's exercise regimen looks like, and it inspired me to refresh my routines. Highly recommend it for anyone who is struggling with addiction or has in the past. A real eye-opening book.

Important work

The author tells his story unashamed and raw. Hopefully his story can reach others and help them find their way. I’ve lost two close friends and one family member to alcohol and hope this book can reach as many people as possible.

Overcoming addiction through fitness routine

The Fitness Routine That Got Me out of Addiction, into Recovery, and How to Create Your Own by Brett Grau is an intimate story of a brave man who overcame alcohol and weed addiction through sports. I think personal stories are very important when it comes to addiction because they show how exactly it was 'before' and the whole way to becoming 'after'. The second part of the book is about the different possibilities of starting a healthy lifestyle, tips and tricks to avoid addiction triggers and finding your way to be passionate about health and sports.

Here is my favourite quote: "Alcohol is so ingrained into our society that people are baffled and must ask you, “Why you’re not drinking?” Those in early sobriety absolutely hate the question and it can be a deterrent to sobriety. It’s like being forced into a full therapy session without a therapist and in front of a crowd of people. Well, here’s an easy answer, “I’m on a health and fitness kick.”

Overall the audiobook is easy, enjoyable listening that triggers your mind and inspires you to make a change and be aware. The ideas of simple fitness routines are affordable for anyone and simple to start and to follow.

Overcoming Addiction with Honesty

Throughout the audiobook, the author shares helpful tips and strategies for overcoming addiction and maintaining sobriety.

One notable aspect of the book is the author's emphasis on the importance of building a support system and seeking professional help. Overall, "Ripped Sober" is a valuable resource for anyone struggling with addiction or seeking to better understand the complexities of addiction and recovery.

An Inspirational Tearjerker

The author's story had me feeling emotional right from the start. You need this sort of emotion in order to trigger the changes you'd like to make in yourself.

He goes on to pragmatically explain how he overcame his alcohol and marijuana addictions and refocused that energy into something great. There are some really cool practical workout suggestions, even incorporating things such as chores/housework, yoga, and sex.

I found this book to be highly inspirational, and I've gotten some great ideas from it which I will implement in my own life!

Combining sobriety wisdom with physical fitness.

The author has provided a raw, authentic disclosure of his past addiction and his disclosure of the emotional and family challenges along the way. He takes a different route to sobriety, incorporating fitness with his sobriety maintenance. The author provides a systematic and doable program for those who are striving to begin and/or maintain their sobriety. A book definitely worth the listening!
