Karen delivers a powerful, hilarious, and deeply moving account of redemption through Alcoholics Anonymous, sharing how she rose from the depths of alcoholic and professional ruin to a life of faith, service, and grace. Once a nurse who lost everything—her children, career, and dignity—Karen found herself on Skid Row in Lincoln, Nebraska, drinking Mad Dog and dying from liver disease before AA and divine intervention saved her life. Guided by her sponsor, Clancy, she rebuilt from nothing, regaining her nursing license, joining the Pacific Group, and learning true humility through daily surrender and action. Her storytelling blended raw honesty and humor—from falling into a grave to accidentally super-gluing her ex-husband—reminding all that laughter and grace coexist in recovery. Today, she stands as living proof that no fall is too far for God’s mercy and AA’s miracle, having turned a life of despair into one filled with love, healing, and unwavering gratitude for “God’s magnificent AA.”
