“New York literary agent Bill Clegg's first memoir counted down two months spent blowing $70,000 on a binge of crack cocaine and male escorts in New York's boutique hotels while avoiding loved ones and the publishing agency he built and owned. His newest book begins where the first left off with a new goal of 90 days. But this time around, Clegg is not out to kill himself with endless sleep-deprived, paranoid nights on cocaine. Instead, it's an account of getting sober and a journey of relapse and recovery”, Christian Kearney writes for Reuters.
““Ninety Days,” released in the United States this week, is Clegg’s second – and last, he promises – truth tale following 2010's “Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man.” That book shocked the New York media world, pleased critics, and enamored readers with Clegg's wrenching, honest style and the tragedy of his rise and fall. Rather than cashing in on his first book's sweeping success, Clegg, now 41, told Reuters in an interview he didn't feel he had any choice but to head straight into the next personal offering of his struggle with addiction”, Kearney continues.
“His new memoir begins with Clegg returning from a rehabilitation clinic to New York City, the tempting den of his many dances with drugs and alcohol. In an effort to stay sober, he joins an addicts support group, finds a sponsor, and begins a roller coaster ride to beating his habit. Clegg doesn't compare “Ninety Days”, which like his first memoir replaces some real names with pseudonyms, to the many recovery memoirs that have come before him, nor does he pretend to be an expert on addiction. It's simply his personal journey”, he adds.
Out of all the drugs that are ravaging the US up to present, cocaine is considered by some drug specialists and premier hospitals as the one who “does a lot of damage both to the healthy and mental well being of a person.” Indeed, it puts a lot of strain on the body of the user, so much that it results to the breaking down of the strong thinking capacity of that user, stripping it down into a feeble one.
Of course, getting back in shape after such an ordeal as this will be one of the hardest things to do; but when it is accompanied by healthy foods to eat included in the healthy grocery list, then even severe cases like Clegg’s can just be ready for a steady recovery in no time!
Of course, rehabilitation programs are all but important, but studies have showed that accompanying uh a rigorous process with a healthy meal – made out of healthy easy recipes and high class healthy ingredients – will be sure to help develop the patient’s body state and in turn, help recuperate his mind.
