Lisa Smith was a bright young lawyer at a prestigious law firm in New York City when alcoholism and drug addiction took over her life. What was once a way she escaped her insecurity and negativity as a teenager became a means of coping with the anxiety and stress of an impossible workload.
Girl Walks Out of a Bar explores Smith’s formative years, her decade of alcohol and drug abuse, divorce, and her road to recovery. In this darkly comic and wrenchingly honest story, Smith describes how her circumstances conspired with her predisposition to depression and self-medication in an environment ripe for addiction to flourish. When her close-knit group of high-achieving friends celebrate the end of their grueling workdays with alcohol-fueled nights at the city’s clubs and summer weekends partying at the beach, the feel-good times can spiral wildly out of control.
Girl Walks Out of a Bar is a candid portrait of alcoholism through the lens of gritty New York realism. Beneath the façade of success lies the reality of addiction.

I have listened to numerous books on drug and alcohol abuse. This book is one of the best in my opinion. No preaching of AA steps ( although it might have been the method un the rehab ) but of a strong woman’s own way to sobriety. Humourous tales about her drunken stupidities, it might seem that she made it very easily but as a matter of fact, of all the drug and alcohol abusers I’ve known - many - the ones who quit are the ones who relied on their own power and strong support from families to discover a better life. Interesting and well narrated, hope she keeps doing well.
