Women's recovery can differ from men's, and each person's recovery is in many ways unique. That's why Stephanie Covington has designed this workbook A Women's Way Through the Twelve Steps Workbook to help a woman find her own path-and find it in terms especially suited to the way women experience not just addiction and recovery but also relationships, self, sexuality, and everyday life.
Deepening and extending the lessons of a book that has
helped countless women, this workbook makes A Women's Way Through the Twelve
Steps that much more measured, meaningful, and clear. Unlike many ''rewritten''
Twelve Step interpretations for women, this guide works with the original Step
language, preserving its spirit and focusing attention on its healing message.
In sections devoted to each of the Twelve Steps, Covington
blends narrative, self-assessment questions focused on a feminine definition of
terms such as ''powerlessness'' and ''letting go,'' guided imagery exercises,
and physical activities. Designed to be used in conjunction with A Women's Way
Through the Twelve Steps, this workbook helps deepen and extend understanding
of the lessons taught there and further empowers each woman to take ownership
of her recovery.

This is definitely a head's up and listen up for
women in recovery....using this in conjunction with "A Woman’s' Way
Through the Twelve Steps" is a sure way to add to any other 12 step
program that you may be using. I am a person who has been in recovery for 10
years, and found that many women's issues were not being addressed and this
combination is an absolute winner.
It can be used by yourself, working with a
sponsor or in a group some wonderful "aha's" have been experienced
and so many women helped in this process. Read it...do it....you won't be
sorry.
Help you lose weight more easily than before!
