Edie shares her journey of survival and recovery, marked by a childhood of trauma, abandonment, and witnessing alcoholism destroy her mother and guardian. Despite being told she’d never succeed, she found Alcoholics Anonymous at 24, where fellowship, sponsorship, and service gradually healed her wounds. Through hard work, she transformed from a broken, angry young woman into a 16-year sober professional, becoming the first woman hired as an industrial inspector for California, later a superintendent at UC Davis, and a respected leader in diversity and service. Her story highlights forgiveness, resilience, and the miracle of AA—turning pain into purpose, brokenness into strength, and granting her “the keys to the kingdom.”
