Shining a Light on Sexual Harassment in AA: Voices for Change

Our slogan, like Kelly said, is empowerment not powerless. Join me Next Week and I'm going to have Stanton peel on the show.
Imagine attending a support group and facing harassment instead of healing. That's the grim reality Kali faced at an AA meeting in Culver City, CA. In this eye-opening episode of 'Safe Recovery', hosts Monica Richardson and Kali dive into the issue of '13 stepping', where senior members exploit newcomers. Kali shares her personal ordeal, shedding light on the victim-blaming culture that often silences survivors. They tackle the tough questions: Why does this happen? How can we protect those seeking help?
Monica and Kali don't just stop at raising awareness; they advocate for change, pushing for laws to safeguard victims and promote accountability within recovery communities. They also explore alternative recovery methods, like online meetings, offering safer spaces for those who've experienced trauma. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the darker sides of traditional recovery programs and seeking ways to foster a more supportive environment.
