Program: New Life Program (NLP)
The Women for Sobriety (WFS) New Life Program is a secular recovery program developed to support all women seeking help for problematic substance use. It was founded on the belief that women have unique challenges in overcoming addiction. The philosophy of the New Life Program is that our thoughts precede our actions. If our thoughts are positive, so are our actions. We believe we have the power to change our way of thinking. We take responsibility for ourselves and our choices. The 13 Acceptance Statements form the foundation of the New Life Program and help to guide our beliefs and actions.
The New Life Program offers a variety of recovery tools, meetings and peer support to guide women in developing coping skills which focus on emotional growth, spiritual growth, self-esteem and a healthy lifestyle. Sobriety is more than abstinence from a substance. It is a time for reflection, learning and self-discovery. By knowing ourselves better, we can overcome addiction.
The Healthcare Professionals Affinity group is open to any WFS participant who is a licensed (or formerly licensed) healthcare professional (HCP). This includes nurses, physicians, psychologists, social workers, and any other licensed healthcare professional not otherwise specified. Interested participants must contact the facilitator to attest that they are a licensed HCP. Led by a trained WFS Certified Facilitator who is also a health care professional, this meeting is not meant to discuss clinical issues, in accordance with HCP ethical obligations, but rather to discuss recovery issues specific to HCPs. All women who are health care professionals are welcome.
