Phenomenal Addict: Free Chapter

This is a free chapter from Phenomenal Addict, a raw, anonymous memoir of high-functioning alcohol addiction by a UK healthcare worker.

By this point in the story, the drinking has gone further than most people admit to. Waking up on wet pavement not knowing the street, the time, or the day. A 7:04am text to a partner that just said “Can you wash me?” Flies hovering. Bottles on the floor. A body sweating out pure alcohol while a mind still found ways to pretend everything was fine.

This isn’t a tidy recovery story with an inspirational arc. It’s an honest account of what high-functioning addiction actually looks like from the inside, the kind that doesn’t show on the outside until it suddenly does.

If this chapter resonates, the full book is available on Amazon. It goes back to the beginning, the first drink at fourteen, the hospital career, the slow escalation, and follows it all the way through to the other side.

Free to download. No catch.
