Recovery is not a man's world, and yet to people who aren't men it can sometimes seem that way. Geared specifically to women and gender-expansive people, this book brings a new 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 view considers the psychological development of women as it relates to addiction and recovery, as well as the social and cultural factors that affect women.

Acknowledging that recovery raises special issues for people who are not men—from questions about sexuality, relationships, and everyday life to anxieties about speaking up at mixed-gender meetings—A Woman's Way through the Twelve Steps focuses directly on these issues as it explores the experiences of addiction and healing for women. 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 the experiences of women—empowering readers to take ownership of their own recovery process as well as their growth as individuals.
