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.

This one-hour meeting offers a warm, supportive space to reflect, reconnect with yourself, and strengthen your ability to make choices with awareness and care. Led by a WFS trained Certified Facilitator, the meeting is designed to support self-directed recovery by emphasizing personal responsibility, conscious choice, and intentional living in a way that is gentle, practical, and accessible. The Intentional Living Circle creates a welcoming environment for both long-time WFS members and newcomers. Participants are invited to slow down, notice their internal experience (physical, mental, and emotional), and practice choosing what genuinely supports their well-being.
