Losing her job at Univisión and years later at Telemundo for her alcoholism were the triggers that led Edna Schmidt to take action. She went through a lot of therapy, went to rehab, and made it through. However, admitting her problem was not easy.

“The problem is when it becomes an obsession. I went from having two or three glasses a day to sometimes having three bottles of wine on my own. So that’s already a problem,” the Puerto Rican journalist said in an interview at the time.
