Ninety Days

Ninety Days (2012) by Bill Clegg. Ninety days, it turns out, is a landmark date of sobriety for alcoholics and drug addicts. In this book, Clegg tells of his own struggle to stay sober after years of drinking and smoking crack. I missed his earlier book, Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man, but this one still resonated. Clegg lays it all out there, his homosexuality, the relapses, the battle to attend meetings and avoid places that are "triggers" for him. This book seems to be an honest, revealing story of addiction and recovery, and it's a worthwhile read. Grade: B+
