Charlie Gray

Charlie Gray is the author of the quit lit memoir trilogy Charlie & The Frog.

Charlie is a recovering alcoholic sharing the experience of addiction, relapse, and recovery in his debut memoir, At Least I’m Not The Frog: A Zany Memoir of Alcoholism & Recovery. Living eleven long years as a high-functioning alcoholic, he attended a plethora of treatment centers (rehabs), detox facilities, psychiatric wards, and hospitals across the United States. Through these visits, he was exposed to multiple forms of therapy surrounding addiction, including Twelve-Step Programs, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), equine therapy, music/art therapy, SMART Recovery, holistic/wellness healing, and medical treatment for alcohol dependence (Vivitrol and Campral). His story offers unique insight into the method and mind of a chronically relapsing alcoholic, and the tools necessary to combat such an affliction.

Charlie resides in his quaint hometown in Missouri, with his family, friends, and cat, Klaus. These days, he can usually be found searching for epic, inspiring moments, writing, and enjoying life in recovery. The final installment of his quit lit memoir trilogy, The Frog No More: A Zany Observation of Sober Life, will arrive May 29, 2023.
