You've seen him on the street, in bars, on the subway, at restaurants: a twentysomething guy, nice suit, works in advertising. Regular. Ordinary. 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. Loud, distracting ties, automated wake-up calls and cologne on the tongue could only hide so much for so long. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 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. are immediately dashed by grim reality of fluorescent lighting and paper hospital slippers. 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. Because when his thirty days are up, he has to return to his same drunken Manhattan life amp;mdash; and live it sober. What follows is a memoir that's as moving as it is funny, as heartbreaking as it is true. \u003ci\u003eDry\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of love, loss, and Starbucks as a Higher Power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Macmillan Audio production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156216824048,"sku":"2940169283037","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169283037_p0.jpg?v=1763678518","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169283037","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
