Geared specifically to that woman, this book brings a feminine perspective to the Twelve Step program, searching out the healing messages beneath the male-oriented words. Based on an open exploration and a flexible interpretation of the Twelve Steps, this new perspective takes into account the psychological development of women as it relates to addiction and recovery, as well as the social and cultural factors that affect women in particular. Acknowledging that recovery raises special issues for women--from questions about sexuality, relationships, and everyday life to anxieties about speaking up at mixed-gender meetings-- \n\u003ci\u003eA Woman's Way through the Twelve Steps\u003c\/i\u003e focuses directly on the feminine experience of addiction and healing. The author explores the Twelve Steps one by one, reiterating each in its traditional language, then explaining and illustrating it in a way that highlights a woman's experience--empowering the reader to take ownership of her own recovery process as well as her growth as a woman.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Covington, Stephanie S\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hazelden Publishing \u0026amp; Educational Services\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 1994-09-27\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/b\u003e Self-Help|Twelve-Step Programs|Psychology|Psychopathology|Compulsive Behavior|Self-Help|Substance Abuse \u0026amp; Addictions|General\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSubjects:\u003c\/b\u003e Women|Obsessive-compulsive disorder|Twelve-step programs|Mental health|Treatment\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780894869938\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eASIN:\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e SP-9780894869938\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hazelden Publishing \u0026 Educational Services","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52148147912985,"sku":"SP-9780894869938","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/0380\/5209\/files\/9780894869938_spiral.png?v=1774218121","url":"https:\/\/westbindery.com\/products\/a-womans-way-through-the-twelve-steps-1","provider":"West Bindery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
