The problem sometimes is that not everybody who goes becomes an activist to do the work, just like I have found here with the Stop NA AA.
What happens when the very spaces meant to offer solace and support become dangerous? In this eye-opening episode of 'Safe Recovery', host Monica Richardson sits down with Stop13StepinAA to tackle the unsettling issue of predatory behavior within Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings. The conversation dives deep into how these gatherings, intended for healing, have sometimes turned into hunting grounds for sexual and financial predators.
The guests share firsthand experiences and discuss the broader impact on both the members and the community. From the troubling lack of police intervention to the complexities added by drug courts, the episode sheds light on the urgent need for change within these organizations. The anonymity of AA and NA members often complicates matters, leaving victims without proper recourse. The discussion also touches on how exposure to felons can emotionally affect children, adding another layer of concern.
But it's not all bleak; the episode also explores alternative healing approaches that aim to create safer spaces for those seeking recovery. If you're curious about the darker aspects of traditional recovery programs and are looking for empowering alternatives, this episode is a must-listen.
