Kevin’s Substack: https://kevinjackmcenroe.substack.com/

This week on Dopey Wednesday,!Dave is joined once again by Kevin McEnroe for a powerful, funny, and honest conversation about addiction, recovery, family, tennis, writing, prayer, ego, and the New York Knicks.

Dave opens the episode with listener emails about quitting cigarettes, accidental heroin use, childhood Valium, Dopey Zoom chaos, stickers, socks, and Knicks obsession. Then Kevin McEnroe joins the show to talk about his morning routine, sobriety, teaching tennis, being John McEnroe’s son, and finding peace with his name and his life in recovery.

Kevin opens up about pills, heroin, pancreatitis, isolation, treatment, relapse, his mother Tatum O’Neal’s addiction and stroke, and how service has changed their relationship. Dave shares his own stories about heroin, custody, Klonopin, the Amy Winehouse documentary, AA, and finally surrendering.

Plus: Hells Angels bars, Roxy 30s, fentanyl, Joakim Noah, 21 yogurts, meth recovery advice, and why sometimes you have to try every path until something sticks.

ALL THAT AND MORE! MORE! MORE!
