Christian Women in Recovery - the A.A. Pioneers

Just a few words to call attention to the omissions. Anne Ripley Smith, wife of A.A. cofounder Dr. Bob, was called the "Mother of A.A." It was she who taught about God, the Bible, prayer, and guidance to early AAs and their families. She formed the first Women's Group in 1936--a year after A.A. itself was founded. Then there was Henrietta Buckler Seiberling who "infused much needed spirituality" into Dr. Bob and Bill in the founding days and helped the Christian Fellowship in Akron to produce the astonishing successes between 1935 and 1938. Finally, there was Grace Moore Snyder, a recovered alcoholic, a long-time AA worker, and the wife of the venerable Clarence Snyder. These three were "women in recovery." And their roles underline the part that Christian women played and can play when the goal is reliance on God, growth in fellowship with Him, and carrying the message of God's power to those who still suffer. God Bless, Dick B.Anne Smith's Journal, 1933-1939: A.A.'s Principles of Success; Henrietta B. Seiberling: Ohio's Lady with a Cause, Third Edition; That Amazing Grace: The Role of Clarence and Grace S. in Alcoholics Anonymous; Real Twelve Step Fellowship History

AA recovery

This is an excellent book! I have recommended to several friends how also love it. Women and relate to this book very easily. It is a bit feminist at times and occassionally critical of the Big Book/Twelve and Twelve, but I have learned to take what I need and leave the rest. I would definitely recommend it, but I can't agree with any negative comments about the Big Book or Twelve and Twelve. They are the foundations of AA.

Useful

I have gone through the Steps using this twice in small groups. Excellent way to work the steps with those you sponsor.

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!

Created to make the Twelve Step program more accessible to women and the way they experience addiction, this book illuminates each step to reveal the underlying meaning from a woman's viewpoint. In the second part, the author discusses major themes in the lives of recovering women, including spirituality, powerlessness, and the emergence of the feminine soul.
