Women helping Women
Women overcoming addiction to alcohol and other substances face unique challenges. Women for Sobriety’s New Life Program offers tools designed specifically for women who want to get sober and stay sober. Its 13 Acceptance Statements can guide you from addiction into solid sobriety. With free in-person and online meetings as well as connection groups, women share support, a toolkit of effective methods and unconditional support. Any woman over 18 seeking sobriety is welcome to join us! Access is free.
Trying to get sober but it hasn’t stuck yet? We’ve got you.
It’s hard. We know. But we also know it’s possible. Women for Sobriety offers recovery meetings led by trained peer facilitators.

Come join one of our 95+ weekly meetings. Access is free.

Is someone you love struggling with addiction? We CARE.
Women for Sobriety’s Community Awareness and Recovery Education (CARE) is a secular support program for friends and family of someone in addiction. Meetings are based on a holistic framework grounded in science and kindness. If you have a loved one in addiction and are looking for support, come join us.
We’ve been there. We get it.
The opposite of addiction isn’t sobriety, it’s connection. Our vibrant online community — WFS Online — is a password-protected website where women engage with others in groups reflecting their stage of life, professional affinity or identity. Here you will find unconditional support standing on the knowledge that we know what this path looks like and, together, we can help one another realize the life we were all meant to live. Access is free.
