We are capable and competent, caring and compassionate, always willing to help another, bonded together and overcoming our addiction.
Ever thought about how different approaches to sobriety can change your life? In this episode of the Sober.Coffee Podcast, Mike and Glenn dive into a conversation with representatives from Women for Sobriety, an intriguing alternative to the traditional AA model. Unlike the twelve-step program of AA, Women for Sobriety centers on a pro-sobriety mindset, focusing on harnessing individual strengths and the power of positive thinking. The program encourages participants to take a proactive stance in their recovery journey.
One of its core beliefs is that negative thoughts only harm oneself, promoting a shift towards a more positive and self-empowered outlook. This episode unpacks how Women for Sobriety's unique approach includes an inventory process akin to AA's but also allows for more personalized work, whether individually or in group settings. Mike and Glenn explore how this program offers flexibility, making it suitable for those who might not resonate with the idea of surrendering to a higher power.
Instead, Women for Sobriety empowers individuals to take control of their own recovery, providing a refreshing alternative. The discussion also clears up the misconception that this program is exclusively for women, highlighting that there are also men for sobriety meetings available. Tune in to hear about the benefits of this program, from its emphasis on positive thinking to its adaptable structure.
Whether you're new to sobriety or looking for different support systems, this episode provides valuable insights into how focusing on your strengths can make a significant difference in your recovery journey.
