Lisa F. Smith’s book, “Girl Walks Out of a Bar,” to be published by SelectBooks on June 7, is the story of her long and spiraling addiction to alcohol and drugs while working at prominent New York law firms—and her journey toward sobriety.
Smith, 50, was drinking in the morning, during lunch and at night, all while handling matters for her law firms. “Everyone knew I liked drinking,” she said in an interview. “What they didn’t know was that I went home and opened up a bottle of wine and drank it by myself.”
