Sober Living by the Sea

Father Leo Booth

Dynamic, challenging, insightful and witty, Reverend Leo Booth is a minister cut from a very different cloth. He says you don't have to be religious to be spiritual. He's as likely to quote from the Beatles, The Velveteen Rabbit, or Oscar Wilde, as he is from the Bible. His passion is to help people discover that God and spirituality are not "out there" somewhere, but are found within ourselves and our world.

Reverend Leo is an internationally acclaimed author, lecturer, and trainer on all aspects of spirituality and recovery from depression, addictions, or compulsive behaviors, and low self-esteem. He holds a Masters degree in Theology from King's College, London, England, and is a Certified Addictions Counselor and a Certified Eating Disorders Counselor, and a Spiritual Consultant to several treatment centers. In addition to specific inservices and lectures on religious addiction and abuse, Reverend Leo presents workshops, lectures, and training on a broad spectrum of issues to a variety of organizations and institutions. He is contributing columnist to several publications. Reverend Leo has appeared on such television shows as The Oprah Winfrey Show, Geraldo, Sally Jesse Raphael and others.

Reverend Leo was born in England and raised in a home divided by religious arguments. Driven and ambitious, he became one of the youngest rectors in England. He also became an alcoholic. After a drunken car crash in 1977 led to his treatment for alcoholism, he subsequently devoted his work to helping addicts and others who suffer from low self-esteem. From his work as both minister and an addictions counselor, he has developed a new spiritual model based on Choice, Action, Responsibility, and Empowerment.
