The Council on Recovery presents Evening with David Magee, a journalist, speaker, podcast host, and author of the award-winning book Dear William: A Father’s Memoir of Addiction, Recovery, Love and Loss. The book is a Publishers Weekly national bestseller, and is currently in development for film.

Magee translates unimaginable tragedy into a commitment to saving others. His mission to share solutions to self-medication and addiction, particularly as it touches America’s high school and college students, emphasizes that William’s story is about much more than a tragic addiction - it’s an American story of a family broken by loss and remade with love.
