About this audiobook

Sobriety is not the finish line. It is where the harder work begins. The Self-Esteem Workbook for Women in Recovery is a 90-day research-grounded guide for women who have moved past early recovery and are now confronting what sobriety has revealed. The substances are gone, but the feeling of not being quite enough persists. Built on neuroscience, clinical psychology, and lived recovery experience, this workbook delivers structured exercises, boundary-setting scripts, and shame-interruption tools designed for women who are done with reassurance and ready for real change. Across thirteen chapters, readers will work through identity reclamation, self-compassion, relational repair, and emotional sobriety. This is not a beginner's guide. It is for the woman who already knows she matters and is now building the daily practice of actually living from that truth.
