We need to support people and give them choices, and not make them feel like they're powerless. There are so many paths to recovery, and I think people need to know that.
What if the traditional 12-step program isn't the only path to recovery? In this eye-opening episode of 'Safe Recovery', Monica Richardson sits down with Gabrielle Glaser, the sharp-witted author of 'Her Best-Kept Secret'. They dive into the untold history of women and drinking, dating back to the 1700s, and question the long-standing dominance of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) in addiction recovery.
Glaser’s humorous yet critical perspective sheds light on why AA might not be the best fit for everyone and introduces alternative methods like Naltrexone and other healing practices. Glaser doesn’t hold back as she explores the roots of American drinking habits, the often overlooked Washingtonians, and the impact of the Hughes Act. She even delves into the darker side of AA, discussing documented abuse and harm within the program.
Her insights are both thought-provoking and empowering, offering a fresh perspective on how to support those struggling with alcohol dependency. If you've ever felt that traditional recovery methods don't resonate with you or someone you care about, this episode is a must-listen. It's packed with historical anecdotes, critical analyses, and a touch of humor that makes serious topics more digestible.
Tune in to discover why Glaser believes in giving people choices and empowering them to find their own path to recovery.
