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.

WFS book clubs offer an opportunity to build meaningful connections while discussing topics that matter to all of us. We read texts with themes that align with our WFS Vision and Values and we discuss how they are relevant in our New Lives. Through our shared conversations, we strengthen our recovery efforts while developing 4C friendships. This is not a recovery meeting, but the topics will resonate with all women in recovery. You are welcome to join even if you haven’t read the book!
