Summary:

This program profiles women of different ages and backgrounds who are in recovery. Though the incidence of alcoholism is slightly less among women than men, once it develops, this disease tends to progress more rapidly in women. Physiological differences quickly put women at a greater risk for physical complications, some of which are unique to women (breast cancer & bearing a child with fetal alcohol syndrome). Powerful, enlightening, excellent for support groups to see and use for discussions.
