Is your life as a newly sober woman – with your hard-won joys and accomplishments – less satisfying than you expected? You might be surprised to know that many women in early recovery struggle with loneliness and self-doubt. Once you’ve left behind the numbing comfort of alcohol or other drugs, you must face yourself, perhaps for the first time, explains pioneering therapist Stephanie Brown. With expert insight and gentle guidance, Brown will help you sort through confusing feelings and unravel painful truths to discover, at last, your true and authentic self.
