OC100- Dr Stephanie Covington, Author of A Woman's Way Through the 12 Steps https://www.stephaniecovington.com/ Hi Friend! Welcome you to another episode of The ODAAT Chat Podcast! In case you are new here, My name is Arlina and I’ll be your host. This is a podcast where my guests share their stories of alcoholism and addiction and their journey to recovery. For information on today’s episode and access to past episodes, visit odaatchat.com. Today my conversation is with Dr Stephanie Covington, Author of “A Woman’s Way Through the 12 Steps” which is the book I have used to take women through the steps for about 10 years now, and the foundation of the “Step Work Calls” I publish on the podcast. But before we jump in, I wanted to share that in order to help as many women as I can, I am hosting a FREE workshop called “Sobriety Reset”. It starts on 12/12 and you can sign up at Sobriety Reset.com - We are using Dr Covington’s book and worksheets to do the 12 steps in 6 weeks. So if you don’t like AA meetings and you still need connection and support, please join us! Right now we have about 200 women signed up, so I’m really excited to be a witness to the transformations! So back to the episode with Dr. Covington. She is an internationally recognized clinician, author, organizational consultant, and lecturer. She is a pioneer in the field of women’s issues, addiction, trauma, and recovery. She has developed an innovative, gender-responsive, and trauma-informed approach that results in effective services in public, private, and institutional settings. Dr. Covington’s clients include the Betty Ford Treatment Center, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment in Washington, D.C., the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, and numerous other treatment and correctional settings. Dr. Covington was a workshop chair for the women’s treatment improvement protocol (TIP) published by The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). She has had a profound impact on me personally, and the women who I have sponsored over the years. So with that, please enjoy this episode, with Dr Stephanie Covington.
