Halfway Gone
Some addictions end. Others just change shape.
After years of drowning in alcohol, Sam is sober — but sobriety doesn’t erase the weight of monotony, fractured family ties, or the gnawing question of whether life is worth living without the blur of a buzz.
Halfway Gone is a literary novel about survival in the everyday: balancing fatherhood, marriage, and work in the shadows of old habits. Told with brutal honesty and flashes of dark humor, it captures the endless tug-of-war between relapse and resilience, despair and hope, chaos and peace.
