The harassment must stop. We need to shine the light on the 75-year-old problem in AA meetings.
Ever felt uneasy in a 12-step meeting? You're not alone. In this episode of Safe Recovery, host Monica Richardson sheds light on the critical issue of predatory behavior in AA meetings. Drawing from her experiences in Southern California, Monica shares practical steps taken to combat sexual and financial predators within these support groups. From distributing pamphlets and posters to conducting workshops, these initiatives aim to create a safer environment for everyone involved.
With over 65 meetings across the US already adopting these safety measures, it's clear that change is on the horizon. Monica doesn't just stop at awareness; she delves into the deep-rooted issues within AA's culture that have allowed such behavior to persist for 75 years. By sharing real stories from victims and discussing the role of law enforcement, this episode is a call to action for all.
If you've ever felt powerless in traditional recovery settings, this episode offers a fresh perspective on how to reclaim your safety and empowerment. Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, this conversation is a must-listen.
