How does a successful, intelligent, and seemingly accomplished person lose control of their life to alcohol?
More importantly, how do they find their way back?
In Killing Mr. Hyde, Michael Lassman shares the deeply personal story of his battle with alcoholism, addiction, recovery, and redemption. What begins as an occasional escape gradually evolves into a destructive force that threatens his career, relationships, health, and sense of self.
But this is more than a story about alcohol.
It is a story about the struggle that exists within all of us—the battle between who we are and who we are capable of becoming.
With honesty, humility, humor, and hard-earned wisdom, Lassman takes readers through the painful realities of addiction, the consequences of poor choices, the challenges of recovery, and the transformative power of faith, purpose, and personal responsibility.
Whether you are struggling with addiction yourself, love someone who is, or simply find yourself fighting your own version of “Mr. Hyde,” this book offers hope, encouragement, and proof that change is possible.
Inside you’ll discover:
• The subtle ways addiction takes hold and reshapes a life
• The emotional and spiritual roots that often fuel destructive behaviors
• Lessons learned through recovery, self-discovery, and personal growth
• The role faith, community, and accountability play in lasting change
• How setbacks and failures can become the foundation for a new beginning
• Why recovery is about far more than simply putting down the drink
Raw, honest, and inspiring, Killing Mr. Hyde is a powerful reminder that our mistakes do not define us, our past does not determine our future, and it is never too late to become the person God intended us to be.
If you’ve ever felt trapped by addiction, discouraged by failure, or uncertain whether real change is possible, this book is for you.
Your story is not over.
