Review Quotes:
"In 1994, when I was about five years into my recovery, my sponsor gave me Stephanie Covington's A Woman's Way through the Twelve Steps. I can only imagine how many millions of women have finally been able to connect to their recovery through this classic--and now transgender and nonbinary individuals will be able to see themselves in recovery literature, too. Ever the visionary, Dr. Covington has yet again made women's recovery more accessible and inclusive. The workbook and facilitator guide are the tools needed to ensure that many millions more women benefit from this brilliant and accessible work."--Dawn Nickel "Cofounder, SHE RECOVERS(R) Foundation, Author of She Recovers Every Day"

Review Quotes:
"A Woman's Way through the Twelve Steps was a groundbreaking work that reflected Dr. Stephanie Covington's tireless advocacy to ensure that the needs of women in recovery were fully met. In the 30th anniversary edition, Dr. 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. This workbook serves as a lovely companion to the updated book and will help all women on a Twelve Step path of recovery engage in the Steps more fully and meaningfully."--Dr. Jamie Marich "Author of Trauma and the 12 Steps and Dissociation Made Simple, Founder and Director, The Institute for Creative Mindfulness"

Review Quotes:
"Stephanie Covington, in her revised and expanded edition of A Woman's Way through the Twelve Steps, has applied more than forty-five years of personal recovery experience as well as her expertise in addiction recovery and women's issues to her classic opus. With the Twelve Steps of AA as its backbone and rewritten to reflect issues faced by women and gender-diverse people, this book gives readers a recipe for healing and flourishing in the face of addictive disorders. In this new iteration of her 1994 classic, she not only applies the Twelve Step model to initial healing but also promotes the eventual development of an authentic self, the healing of sexual wounds, the expansion of a relationship skill base and repertoire, and a deep dive into a uniquely personal understanding of spirituality. This newly revised edition is remarkably comprehensive and, when combined with the companion workbook, is an invaluable tool for women anywhere along the recovery continuum."--Lorie Dwinell, LCSW "Retired Clinical Social Worker, Coauthor of After the Tears: Helping Adult Children of Alcoholics Heal Their Childhood Trauma"

Review Quotes:
"Written in 1939, the original Twelve Steps of AA have helped millions of people around the world. But as they were developed by men for men and reflected the knowledge of addiction at that time, the voices of women and gender-expansive people were not included or even conceived of.
