💜 What Is The Phoenix Within?
The Phoenix Within is a women's recovery meeting grounded in the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous while embracing a whole-person approach to recovery.
We believe recovery is about more than not drinking. Recovery is about healing emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually, and socially.
While AA is our foundation, we recognize there are many paths to recovery and many tools that support healing.
