Rate this book
Dave looked strong. He looked in control. The truth was not.

The Double Life of a High-Functioning Alcoholic is the story of a man who seemed to have it all and almost lost everything to alcohol. Work was steady. Family looked happy. Friends saw success. But inside, drinking was calling the shots. Quietly. Daily. Always.

This book, inspired by true events, pulls you straight into the hidden world of a high-functioning alcoholic.

Different from traditional self-help books or self-help guides, this memoir-style story shows the human side of alcoholism. The secrecy, the shame, and the fight to reclaim a life worth living. It offers hope, courage, and the reminder that recovery is always possible.

You won’t just learn what it looks like. You’ll feel it.

The denial. The quiet unraveling. The small choices that slowly lead to big damage. You’ll live the fear, the shame, and the crushing weight of a double life. And when the breaking point comes, you’ll witness what it truly takes to put down the bottle and begin again.

If you are searching for alcohol recovery books, sobriety stories, or inspiration to quit drinking alcohol, this book is for you.

Read The Double Life of a High-Functioning Alcoholic today and step into a story that will break your heart, stir your soul, and remind you that it’s never too late to begin again.
