Publisher's Summary
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.

Very truthful
Funny, sad, serious listening. Great audiobook that really makes you think about all addictions and how it can effect everyone.

Devoured it
I am trying to stay sober...I am finding memoirs very helpful. This is by far my favourite so far. I DEVOURED it. I couldn’t wait to start listening again. Lisa F. Smith’s brutal honesty, humour and story telling us to be applauded. She makes you cheer for. I want to be her best friend. Her story is shocking but relatable. Love. Love, love this book!! Thank you Lisa!! 🙏🙏🙏

Raw, honest & beautiful
I absolutely loved this. At times tragic, yet also laugh out loud funny. The author & narrator both brilliant. The back drop of New York also encompassed the vibe of late night bars, flash restaurants & lawyers

Familiar
This sounded a lot like my life before 40. I loved the raw honesty. So many of us are high functioning alcoholics.
Well done Lisa!!!
