by Charlie GrayPublish: Dec 13, 2022Series: Charlie & The FrogBiographies & MemoirsBook Overview
The second entry in a trilogy unlike any other, following a gay alcoholic's quest for sobriety.Once again, Charlie Gray has lost control, spending his days drunk on vodka and facing staggering legal troubles. In The Frog’s Bottle, the second in his trilogy of quit lit memoirs, Charlie finds himself trapped by his old nemesis, relapse. With his fourth arrest for a DUI, the possibility of prison looming, and the terror of knocking at death’s door stirring in the back of his mind, Charlie admits himself to his fifth rehab in two years, Meadowlark Renewal, a quaint residential treatment center in Kansas.
Yet, it is as though fate perceived this, and therefore thrust together an extraordinarily tortured group of patients, as his time at Meadowlark proves to be a most profound experience. From felons to suburban grandmothers, Charlie spends 33 days among “his people,” all the while learning, growing, falling in love, and unearthing disturbing truths he had avoided for nearly a decade.
Although the question remains: will his stay at Meadowlark be the final piece in his sobriety puzzle? Will he finally be able to maintain sobriety, or fall victim to the same mistakes of his past?
