“Book Descriptions: The goal is ninety. Just ninety clean and sober days to loosen the hold of the addiction that caused Bill Clegg to lose everything. With seventy-three days in rehab behind him and no intention of succumbing again, Clegg returns to New York to begin rebuilding his life.
As Clegg wanders familiar streets, he confronts memories of his two-month binge and struggles against the powerful cravings for crack that still threaten to overcome him. To combat the almost unstoppable urge to backslide, Clegg attends two or three meetings each day. It is in these refuges that he befriends his closest allies: the seemingly unshakably sober Asa, and Polly, who struggles daily with her own cycle of recovery and relapse.
Despite the precautions he takes and the supportive friends surrounding him, Clegg relapses for the first time with only three days left, turning his calendar back to day one. Written with uncompromised immediacy, NINETY DAYS begins where Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man ends--with the remarkable story of Bill Clegg's escape from the pull of an addiction that left him broken, and his search for the strength to reclaim his life.” DRIVE
