“In the most turbulent and best of times, I had the rock of the 12 steps to guide me. I was able to be a father, son, brother and friend,” McDermott continued. “Proud of this day because many in my family including my birth mother and father struggled with addiction.”
“It was brutal to witness. I’ve also seen many who didn’t make it and that truly breaks my heart. If you’re hurting please get help,” he continued. “The loving hand of #alcoholicsanonymous is always available!”

One person he thanked specifically was his adoptive mother, playwright Eve Ensler. “Without the guidance of my sponsor and Eve I would not be here today,” he wrote. “I will be forever grateful to them! I look forward to many more years of sobriety, trudging the road of happy destiny.”
