It's interesting how they care more about the group than the person... AA must continue to live or most of us will surely die.
Ever wondered if Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings are truly the 'spiritual entity' they claim to be? In this episode of Safe Recovery, Monica Richardson takes a deep dive into a recent safety memo from AA's General Service Office (GSO). The memo attempts to address member safety and sexual harassment but leaves many questions unanswered. Monica scrutinizes the document's focus on group safety over individual well-being and questions the lack of a comprehensive sexual harassment policy.
She also highlights the need for more oversight in rehab facilities, pointing out that many operate without medical staff yet still receive insurance payments. This episode doesn't just critique AA; it offers a broader discussion on alternative recovery methods and the importance of personal empowerment in the journey to sobriety. Whether you're skeptical about AA or just curious about other paths to recovery, this episode provides valuable insights and practical advice.
