Customer Reviews

Highly Recommend

I use this book with all of the women who ask me to guide them through the 12 steps of recovery. All of them have felt the difference as it is specifically for women's needs.

Definitely not ‘Like New’. Should have been classified as ‘Good’ only.

Service/shipping went quickly. No writing in book except for the 2 previous owners’ names which is fine. BUT the outside of the paperback was DEFINITELY NOT LIKE NEW. Outside of book was stained (coffee? I hope not critter) on all three sides where page edges should be white. Corners worn. Should have been sold as Good only, IMO.

Got the wrong book

I rented this from the library and decided to buy my own because it's a great book. I also ordered the workbook from Amazon so I can begin my steps. Well I ordered this book and got something else. I hope this doesn't happen again.

Great Workbook

This workbook is a great accompaniment to the original. Gently provocative in its mission to guide recovering women through the 12 steps. A good investment for anyone doing step work.

Strong Recovery Work for Women!

This book and the workbook effectively speak to the unique experience of women with addictions, and offer strong insights and guidance to aid women in recovery that go beyond what the 12 & 12 offers. Of all the literature I've used both as a participant and moderator/leader of step groups over 21 years, this is by far the best for women.

This book has provided help and understanding for many women in recovery

The language of the 12Steps, writen over 70 years ago, primarily for male alcoholics is a tried and true series of 'suggestions' that have seen many men and women find sobriety and a better way of life. A Woman's Way Through the Twelve Steps is very faithful to the 12 Steps as written in the Big Book but 'plumps out' the language in a way that is helpful and speaks to the spiritual and emotional needs of women. We have used this book in several groups and found the content to be so rich that we have to often take the Steps in two or three sessions. Its a gift!

A woman's Way is a terrific guide

A Woman's Way Through the twelve steps workbook is a great tool to accompany Stephanie Covington's book "A Womans Guide through the Twelve Steps. The questions are insightful and to the point without being overwhelming. I have found these two books to be an immeasurable asset to working the twelve steps.

Heads Up Ladies!

This is definitely a head's up and listen up for women in recovery....using this in conjunction with "A Womans' Way Through the Twelve Steps" is a sure way to add to any other 12 step program that you may be using. I am a person who has been in recovery for 10 years, and found that many women's issues were not being addressed and this combination is an absolute winner. It can be used by yourself, working with a sponsor or in a group ..some wonderful "aha's" have been experienced and so many women helped in this process. Read it...do it....you won't be sorry.
