Basically, long story short, what ends up happening is that you will have this organization and especially if the manager or record label person happens to be a stepper, yeah, yeah, they will go in there, take them into the organization. But here's the really really huge part of it, right, right, they're all on the kickback system.
Imagine working in the glitz and glamour of Hollywood's music scene, only to discover a hidden web of exploitation and manipulation. In this gripping episode of Safe Recovery, host Monica Richardson sits down with a whistleblower from the UK music industry who shares his harrowing experience. He opens up about fleeing Los Angeles to preserve his sanity after leaving Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).
This insider, choosing to remain anonymous, pulls back the curtain on the disturbing connections between the music industry and AA, revealing a system rife with kickbacks and coercion. The whistleblower details how managers and record labels often exploit artists struggling with addiction, using their vulnerabilities to maintain control. He explains how 'steppers'—those deeply embedded in AA—manipulate these artists, pulling them into a cycle of dependency under the guise of support.
The conversation takes a deep dive into the so-called 'sobriety clause' in contracts, which forces artists to attend AA meetings as a condition of their employment. Monica and her guest don't just stop at exposing these dark practices; they also explore empowering alternatives to AA. They discuss the importance of finding recovery methods that promote personal strength rather than helplessness.
By highlighting alternative healing approaches, they offer hope and options for those who feel out of place in traditional recovery settings. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of addiction recovery and the entertainment industry. It sheds light on the corruption that can pervade support systems and emphasizes the need for empowering, individualized recovery paths. Tune in to gain eye-opening insights and join the conversation about creating healthier cultures around addiction and recovery.
