#QUITLIT Book Review

In Winning Against All Odds, by Kevin Parker, you will discover the secret to unlocking the true warrior within. If you can turn your biggest weakness into your greatest strength, you will become truly unstoppable.

Laughter, tears, and the power of the human spirit

Kevin Parker’s book takes you on an honest and raw journey through the life of an awkward kid from Staten Island who is just trying to find his place. His place in his family and the world around him. Parker’s book grabs ahold of you and doesn’t let go. It is an inspiring story of losing yourself in addiction, finding your way back, and the strength of family. 

The Sobees #QUITLIT Score: 3 out of 5

The Sobees #QUITLIT Score

Kevin Parker has a powerful story of addiction to success. He is quoted as saying, “ I had to die to really learn how to live.” Kevin Parker is an author, speaker, recovery coach, life coach, and so much more. We hope this amazing story moves you and shows you that recovery is not only possible but that having the life you dreamed of after addiction is also possible.

Sober Curator Pro Tip: Follow Kevin on TikTok and IG: @winning_againstallodds. Facebook: Kevin Parker. His book “Winning Against All Odds: Finding the True Warrior Within” is set to come out in March! You can also check out his website HERE.
