“Rose Ann has wonderfully harnessed what she learned through her addiction struggle and subsequent psychospiritual healing journey to bring hope and victory to many. Her curriculum pulls back the curtain to show how addictions aren’t as mysterious, complex, or overwhelming as we commonly think.”
A Practical and Biblical Resource for Faith Leaders
Built around the proven Choose Freedom® 12-week program, this guide was created for facilitators who want to deliver the program with confidence and compassion. With detailed weekly outlines, helpful discussion prompts, Scripture tie-ins, and space for reflection, this resource is your roadmap to leading others with grace and clarity.
Each week centers on one of the program’s Core Concepts: biblical truths paired with the latest scientific insights that help participants renew their minds, overcome harmful habits, and walk in their God-designed purpose.

Rose Ann Forte
Rose Ann Forte knows firsthand what it’s like to feel trapped by alcohol. As a successful C-suite executive and ministry leader, she spent years excelling in her career while privately struggling with a habit that left her feeling disconnected from God’s plan for her life. When she finally decided to quit, she realized that true transformation required more than just willpower—it required a renewed mind, a shift in perspective, and the power of the Holy Spirit.
Determined to help others find the same freedom she experienced, Rose Ann Forte created the Choose Freedom® Program—a 12-week, biblically based journey designed to help people break free from the psychological slavery of substance use and discover the life God intended for them. She is the author of The Plans He Has for Me, Prepare to Quit, and Transformed by His Promises, all available anywhere good books are sold.
In the Choose Freedom® Facilitator’s Guide, Rose Ann shares the insights, structure, and spiritual tools needed to help others walk in truth and transformation. With biblical wisdom, practical guidance, and encouragement rooted in faith, she equips facilitators to lead individuals and groups with confidence, compassion, and a deep reliance on God’s Word.
