Eileen W. speaks with a captivating mix of sharp humor, brutal honesty, and heartfelt wisdom, reflecting on nearly 40 years of continuous sobriety since March 3, 1975. Once a self-described terrified, angry, and broken woman, Eileen found grace and transformation through the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous. Her life’s arc—from teenage pregnancy and addiction, to being mistaken for someone else by a stranger who ultimately led her back to AA—is a testament to how profound spiritual shifts can stem from the smallest, most human acts. She openly shares about enduring physical pain, supporting aging parents, reconnecting with the son she gave up for adoption, and showing up for life through grief, depression, and orthopedic surgeries. Through it all, she remains rooted in service, humility, and gratitude, believing her recovery is only sustained by giving it away.
