New Life Program Acceptance Statements

The use of these statements will provide you with a new way of life through a new way of thinking.

“As women with addictions, we must learn about ourselves and how to avoid the pitfalls of faulty thinking and destructive behavior that used to lead us to taking that first drink or drug,” said founder Jean Kirkpatrick. She advised women to “arise each morning fifteen minutes earlier than usual and go over these statements. Then begin to think about each one by itself. Take one statement and use it consciously all day. At the end of the day, just before sleeping, review the use of it and what affects it had that day for you and your actions.”
