Adrienne shares why having a women-only group is crucial, highlighting how it provides a safe space where women can openly discuss their unique challenges and experiences with substance use. The episode dives into the core exercises the group uses, like positive affirmations and self-talk practices, which are designed to help women build a positive self-image and manage their thoughts more effectively.

Adrienne also addresses the role of medications in recovery, clarifying that Women for Sobriety does not view medication use as a violation of abstinence.
