The Tenth Anniversary Edition of the New York Times bestselling book that has sold over half a million copies in paperback."I had been dependent on "Bewitched" as a kid. I worshipped Darren Stevens the First. When he'd come home from work and Samantha would say, Darren, would you like me to fix you a drink?' He'd always rest his briefcase up for grabs below the mirror in the foyer, wipe his forehead with a monogrammed handkerchief and say, Better make it a double.'" (from Chapter Two)You may not know it, but you've met Augusten Burroughs. You've seen him on the street, in bars, on the subway, at restaurants: a twentysomething guy, nice suit, works in advertising. Regular. Ordinary. However when the ordinary person had two drinks, Augusten was circling the drain insurance firms twelve; when the ordinary person went home at nighttime, Augusten never went home by any means. Loud, distracting ties, automated wake-up calls and cologne on the tongue could only hide a whole lot for such a long time. With the request (well, it wasn't really a request) of his employers, Augusten lands in rehab, where his dreams of group remedy with Robert Downey Jr. are immediately dashed by grim reality of fluorescent lighting and paper hospital slippers. However when Augusten is forced to examine himself, something actually starts to click and that's when he finds himself in the worst trouble of most. Since when his four weeks are up, he has to go back to his same drunken Manhattan life?and live it sober. What follows is a memoir that's as moving as it is funny, as heartbreaking as it is true. Dry is the story of love, loss, and Starbucks as a Higher Power.
