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 ND New Life meeting is specifically designed for neurodivergent women navigating sobriety. Neurodivergent is a nonmedical term describing some of us whose brains process information differently. Conditions that may be associated with being neurodivergent include autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, dyslexia, OCD, anxiety, learning disabilities and sensory issues. Led by a trained WFS Certified Facilitator, this meeting explores how the 13 Acceptance Statements can be powerful tools to address the unique challenges and strengths of living a neurodivergent life while maintaining a successful and fulfilling recovery. Discover strategies to apply these statements to common neurodivergent experiences, fostering a new way of thinking for both sobriety and everyday well-being. Join us if you are neurodivergent, supporting someone that has neurodivergence or if you’re interested in learning more about neurodivergence.
