Remains of the Day (12/12)

 

KJM: Another fantastic piece by Kevin Jack McEnroe, as he reflects on six years of sobriety. I wasn't sure why I've been drawn to his work but now I'm realizing it's a combination of reasons. I have always bristled at the mention of addiction -- somehow my brothers and I were supposed to "get over" having no father as little boys just because someone used the magic word -- yet I'm finding Kevin's writing about the topic to be revelatory and helpful, as well as entertaining. Note: It couldn't be any more obvious who his mother and father are in this photo from his recent wedding, and not just because they're the most famous faces.
