12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous

1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol - that our lives had become unmanageable.

OTHER SELF HELP GROUPS – WOMEN FOR SOBRIETY

WFS groups are "closed" meetings; that is, they are not

open to the public. Only women in recovery who are

pursuing abstinence may attend. As a result, no outside visitors are permitted at our

meetings.
