Our culture in Hollywood is still like knee deep in this f***ing s*** pile of bulls*** in this book from the 1930s that was never vetted, that was never studied...
Ever felt that the traditional recovery methods just don’t resonate with you? Monica Richardson, the host of Safe Recovery, takes listeners on a journey through the often perplexing Chapter 3 of AA’s Big Book. With her unique perspective as someone who has navigated the complexities of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Monica dissects the chapter's language and cultural implications. She highlights how AA's one-size-fits-all approach, originating from a book written in the 1930s, might not be suitable for everyone.
Monica emphasizes that this book was never scientifically vetted, raising questions about its effectiveness in modern times. In this episode, she doesn’t hold back in critiquing the religious undertones and rigid structures that can sometimes feel more binding than liberating. Monica also brings attention to the challenges faced by young people dealing with alcoholism and the historical context of AA’s origins.
If you’ve ever felt out of place in AA meetings or are curious about alternative paths to recovery, this episode offers valuable insights. From spiritual to secular healing methods, Monica explores a variety of options that could better suit individual needs. This episode is perfect for anyone questioning the traditional recovery narrative and seeking new ways to heal from addiction. It’s raw, engaging, and filled with thought-provoking discussions that encourage listeners to think critically about their own recovery journey.
