We actually incentivize people to believe themselves powerless...if you say you know what I liked getting high and you know, I'm sorry that I caused trouble with it, but I can stop and I'm not going to do it again.
What happens when former AA members decide to speak out? In this eye-opening episode of 'Safe Recovery', host Monica Richardson dives into the growing trend of ex-AA members sharing their experiences on Facebook. These online groups are becoming a haven for those who want to discuss their journey away from Alcoholics Anonymous without the cloak of anonymity. Richardson sheds light on why these individuals are turning to social media to voice their concerns and explore alternative paths to recovery.
The conversation also touches on the flaws within AA culture, the benefits of empowerment over powerlessness, and the importance of creating safe spaces for recovery. Richardson doesn't shy away from discussing the role of the courts and medical institutions in mandating AA attendance, and how these practices might be outdated. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the shifting landscape of addiction recovery and the new avenues being explored by those who have left AA behind.
