I also think that this isn't a woman's problem. The men who are out there in the rooms and are seeing this happen, it's their problem too. It's our problem. It's the community's problem.
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) has been a lifeline for many on their path to sobriety, but it’s not without its shadows. In this episode of Beyond Belief Sobriety, Heather B. from Indianapolis and Bethany B. from Jacksonville sit down with host John S. to discuss a troubling issue within the AA community: sexual harassment and predation. Heather and Bethany bravely share their personal stories, highlighting the extent of the problem and the urgent need for change.
They talk about the importance of men speaking out against harassment, the creation of clear policies and procedures, and the role of women-only meetings as potential solutions. Heather poignantly notes, 'This isn’t just a woman’s problem. It’s a community problem'. This episode is a must-listen for anyone involved in AA or concerned about creating safe spaces in recovery communities.
