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 he returns to New York and attends two or three meetings each day. It is in these refuges that he befriends essential allies including the seemingly unshakably sober Asa, and Polly, who struggles daily with her own cycle of recovery and relapse. At first, the support is not enough: 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 - and tells the wrenching story of Bill Clegg's battle to reclaim his life. As any recovering addict knows, hitting rock bottom is just the beginning.

More About Ninety Days
And if the only thing you can do is show up, do it. Then do it again. And when its the last thing you want to do and the last place you want to go, go. Just go. You have no idea who you might be helping just by sitting there or who might help you. Bill Clegg, Ninety Days: A Memoir of Recovery // OK, I say again, not really understanding what it is I am agreeing to, what it is precisely I am accepting. But I am accepting something. The truth of my circumstances? The reality I have until now avoided? Its much worse than I imagined and also somehow better. Bill Clegg, Ninety Days: A Memoir of Recovery // For a while the world will appear more as it is and less as I make it, and I will have a new courage to face the remaining wreckage of the past. Bill Clegg, Ninety Days: A Memoir of Recovery //
Wow. I read this book in one sitting. It was exhausting. If you've ever wondered what an addict goes through on the roller coaster ride to recover, read this book. Raw and heartbreaking, I just want to meet Bill Clegg and give him a hug. Ninety days? Seems like ninety years of groundhog day as Clegg tried to piece together three months of time that benchmark a solid toehold on sobriety. Clegg was finally able to write this account of his many failed attempts at rehab, of quitting binges with crack and vodka, of pissing off his sober friends while burning bridge after... This book fills in a lot of the blanks from "Portrait of the Young Man as an Addict." Clegg clearly withheld a great deal of information from his first book, making his rehab and recovery seem much more easy than it really was. I was extremely angry at him as I read this new book and realized how he had misrepresented his recovery in...
