The Double Life of a High-Functioning Alcoholic: Addiction, Lies, and the Courage to Quit Drinking Alcohol

By Howard Kane

You don't have to hit rock bottom to realize alcohol is wrecking your life. Sometimes, it just takes one honest look in the mirror.

Dave seemed to have it all-a high-powered job, a loving family, and respect from everyone around him. On the outside, his life looked perfect. On the inside, he was hiding a secret that threatened to take it all away.

His drinking didn't look like a problem. No missed meetings. No arrests. No empty bottles in the morning. Just a few drinks to unwind... that turned into blackouts, memory gaps, and a growing fear he couldn't explain away.

The Double Life of a High-Functioning Alcoholic is a gripping, memoir-style novel inspired by author Howard Kane's own sobriety journey.
