This book sits in the top 25% of the audiobooks i have. Where does Dry rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far? Superior and moving 'i used to be drunk' story Dry is the story of love, loss, and Starbucks as a Higher Power. What follows is a memoir that's as moving as it is funny, as heartbreaking as it is true. Because when his thirty days are up, he has to return to his same drunken Manhattan life - and live it sober. But when Augusten is forced to examine himself, something actually starts to click and that's when he finds himself in the worst trouble of all. are immediately dashed by grim reality of fluorescent lighting and paper hospital slippers.
At the request (well, it wasn't really a request) of his employers, Augusten lands in rehab, where his dreams of group therapy with Robert Downey Jr. Loud, distracting ties, automated wake-up calls and cologne on the tongue could only hide so much for so long. But when the ordinary person had two drinks, Augusten was circling the drain by having twelve when the ordinary person went home at midnight, Augusten never went home at all.
You've seen him on the street, in bars, on the subway, at restaurants: a twentysomething guy, nice suit, works in advertising. You may not know it, but you've met Augusten Burroughs.
