Myndtalk With Dr. Pamela Brewer

MYNDTALK - Girl Walks Out of a Bar - Lisa F. Smith Lisa Smith discusses her formative years, her decade of alcohol and drug abuse, divorce, and her road to recovery. 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.
