Ninety Days: A Memoir of Recovery
Autor Bill Cleggen Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 apr 2013
Six weeks out of his most recent rehab, Clegg returns to New York and starts attending two or three meetings each day. It is in these refuges that he befriends essential new allies including Polly, who struggles daily with her own cycle of recovery and relapse, and the seemingly unshakably sober Asa.
At first, the support is not enough: Clegg relapses with only three days left. That's when the battle to reclaim his life gets reignited. As any recovering addict knows, hitting rock bottom is just the beginning.

an
engaging
voice
that
is
reminiscent,
at

to
me,
of

bookGood
Morning,
Midnight.It
is
because
of
this
immediacy
thatNinety

such
an
exhilarating
