1 Women for Sobriety New Life Acceptance Program A Program of Recovery for Women Adrienne Miller, CDP 2 nd Vice President WFS Board of Directors

2 WFS Mission Statement Women for Sobriety (WFS) is an organization whose purpose is to help all women find their individual path to recovery through discovery of self, gained by sharing experiences, hopes and encouragement with other women in similar circumstances. We are an abstinence-based self-help program for women facing issues of alcohol or drug addiction. Our New Life Program acknowledges the very special needs women have in recovery the need to nurture feelings of selfvalue and self-worth and the desire to discard feelings of guilt, shame, and humiliation. WFS is unique in that it is an organization of women for women. We are not affiliated with any other recovery organization and stand on our own principles and philosophies. We recognize each woman s necessity for self-discovery. WFS offers a variety of recovery tools to guide a woman in developing coping skills which focus on emotional growth, spiritual growth, self-esteem, and a healthy lifestyle. Our vision is to encourage all women in developing personal growth and continued abstinence through the New Life Program. WFS believes that addiction began to overcome stress, loneliness, frustration or emotional deprivation in daily life dependence often resulted. Physical, mental, and emotional addiction are overcome with abstinence and the knowledge of self gained through the principles and philosophies of WFS. Membership in WFS requires a sincere desire for an abstinent New Life. WFS members live by the philosophy: Release the past plan for tomorrow live for today. 2

5 New Life Acceptance Statements 1. I have a life-threatening problem that once had me. I now take charge of my life and my disease. I accept the responsibility. 2. Negative thoughts destroy only myself. My first conscious sober act must be to remove negativity from my life. 3. Happiness is a habit I will develop. Happiness is created, not waited for. 4. Problems bother me only to the degree I permit them to. I now better understand my problems and do not permit problems to overwhelm me. 5. I am what I think. I am a capable, competent, caring, compassionate woman. 6. Life can be ordinary or it can be great. Greatness is mine by a conscious effort. 7. Love can change the course of my world. Caring becomes all important. 8. The fundamental object of life is emotional and spiritual growth. Daily I put my life into a proper order, knowing which are the priorities. 9. The past is gone forever. No longer will I be victimized by the past. I am a new person. 10. All love given returns. I will learn to know that others love me. 11. Enthusiasm is my daily exercise. I treasure all moments of my new life. 12. I am a competent woman and have much to give life. This is what I am and I shall know it always. 13. I am responsible for myself and for my actions. I am in charge of my mind, my thoughts, and my life. 5
