Senior Sober Curator Patti Clark revisits Days of Wine and Roses, the classic film starring Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick, through the lens of childhood grief, family alcoholism, and long-term recovery. In this deeply personal reflection, Patty explores how the film’s unflinching portrayal of addiction mirrored her own experience watching her mother’s alcoholism unfold, and why its message about love, recovery, and the painful limits of saving someone still resonates decades later.
