Women in 12 Step Recovery SoberMoms.com Fills the Need for Woman to Woman Fellowship

In September of 2005, member and creator of SoberMoms.com, was searching for relative content on the internet for communities and information regarding women in recovery and came up empty handed.

12 step recovery programs have been growing by leaps and bounds ever since its creation in the early 40’s. It has been termed the biggest spiritual movement of the 20th and 21st century and yet there is still a disappointing lack of concentrated information on the internet; especially for women in recovery.

Sobermoms.com was created with the intent to rectify this problem and bring all the quality information, resources and community support that women seek during their recovery process. The basis of 12 step programs is to break the barrier of differences between people and unite them together with a single purpose regardless of their past, class, race or gender. While this is true, there are still some major differences between a woman’s recovery and a man’s. Society, aside from any attempts to equalize, still insists women are viewed in a particular way as are men and this trickles down into issues of recovery for both genders.

Although still in its beginning stage, SoberMoms.com, has already maintained a broad database of articles, information, and a safe haven for all women in recovery both with children and without.

And it gets better. SoberMoms.com offers members the opportunity to connect with each other via a message board where women, in all stages of recovery, offer their experience strength and hope to each other. In addition to the online community there are free journals provided to members for women to blog about their recovery process and progress.

Along with a growing amount of online information offered to aid in sobriety and recovery, SoberMoms.com helps fill the need and niche for women in recovery.
