We are an abstinence-based self-help program for women facing issues of alcohol or drug addiction, and our new life program acknowledges the very special needs women have in recovery: the need to nurture feelings of self-value and self-worth, and the desire to discard feelings of guilt, shame and humiliation.
Imagine a recovery program designed specifically for women, one that focuses on nurturing self-worth rather than dwelling on guilt and shame. That's exactly what Women for Sobriety (WFS) offers. In this episode of the Safe Recovery podcast, host Monica Richardson sits down with Laura Mackey, a trained leader from WFS, to discuss this unique, abstinence-based self-help program that's been a beacon of hope since the 1970s.
Laura explains how Women for Sobriety aims to empower women to overcome addiction by fostering positive feelings of self-value. Unlike traditional 12-step programs, WFS addresses the specific needs of women, providing a supportive community that helps them discard negative emotions and build a healthier, sober life. The program's mission is clear: to help women find their strength and self-worth through a series of affirmations and statements that reinforce their journey towards sobriety.
The conversation also touches on the role of Women for Sobriety in the court system and its outreach efforts to universities and colleges. Laura and Monica delve into the ongoing debate about whether addiction is a disease or a behavior, highlighting the importance of professional counseling in early sobriety. This episode offers a comprehensive look at how Women for Sobriety provides an alternative path to recovery, one that's tailored specifically for women facing addiction issues.
If you're curious about different recovery methods or seeking a program that understands the unique challenges women face, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to learn more about how Women for Sobriety is making a difference in the lives of many women.
