Franklin’s drinking never added up and now neither did his sobriety. They said at his first meeting that one drink was too many and a thousand was never enough. They said anyone worth their weight would do a ninety in ninety. You see he’d been to a few meetings a town over from his. He told his wife, Liz, that he was going every day this time around. The words ninety meetings in ninety days slipped off his tongue without a second thought.
