Publisher's summary

This guide to the Twelve Steps from Dr. Stephanie S. Covington, a pioneer in the field of women's issues, addiction, and recovery, preserves the spirit of the program with a focus on healing language with women’s needs in mind.

A Woman’s Way Through the Twelve Steps is expertly written by Covington, a nationally recognized clinician, author, organizational consultant, and lecturer. Women's recovery can differ from men's, and each person's recovery is in many ways unique. That's why A Women's Way Through the Twelve Steps is designed to help a woman find her own path - and find it in terms especially suited to the way women experience not just addiction and recovery but also relationships, self, sexuality, and everyday life. Unlike many "rewritten" Twelve Step interpretations for women, this guide works with the original Step language, preserving its spirit and focusing attention on its healing message.

This compilation of a diverse group of real women's voices and wisdom illuminates how women understand the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and offers inspiring stories of how they have traveled through the Steps and discovered what works for them. The book can be used alone or as a companion to The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous.

By drawing attention to how recovery raises special issues for women, from questions about sexuality and relationships to essential topics such as powerlessness, spirituality, and trauma, this book empowers women to take ownership of their recovery and to grow and flourish in sobriety.

Narrated by Sarah Zimmerman.

Critic reviews

"In this 30th anniversary edition... Covington has done a great deal of work to update the language and truly make the shift from gender-specific care to gender-responsive care. Human, practical, and full of knowledge on how women, in their beautiful diversity and uniqueness, can approach the Twelve Steps." (Dr. Marich, The Institute for Creative Mindfulness)

I wish I had this audiobook a long time ago

Really fantastic book. Such a tender and thoughtful narration by Sarah Zimmerman. She captures the spirit of Covington's work quite well. This book is perfect for women who may feel like the twelve steps are not for them (myself very much included).

This book will definitely be getting a re-listen soon. . .
