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.

In this meeting series, one woman will share her personal story which led to her recovery journey. These stories highlight resilience, growth, and the power of the WFS Statements in real life. Each storyteller will speak from her own experience. Though she will be staying within the WFS 4C Agreements, her story may touch on experiences or emotions that could feel activating or sensitive. We will still strive to ensure a space that remains supportive, respectful, and empowering for everyone. After the story, we’ll open the floor for reflections and insights - always in alignment with WFS philosophy and our commitment to uplifting one another. All women are welcome.
