We want to support men and women who have written new books on healing from alcohol dependency/drug overuse. Alternative healing, both spiritual and secular to create our better selves is what we are all about.
Ever wondered what it's like to navigate the glamorous yet gritty world of film festivals while tackling serious issues like addiction recovery? Monica Richardson, the insightful host of 'Safe Recovery', takes you on a whirlwind tour of the Cannes Film Festival in this episode. But it's not all glitz and glamour.
Richardson dives deep into her experiences at the Documentary Corner, where she showcased 'The 13th Step', a film that critically examines the darker sides of AA culture and predatory behavior in support meetings. While in London, Monica met with ex-steppers like Hank Hayes and Leon Luis, delving into their personal journeys and alternative healing methods. These candid conversations shed light on the varied paths people take to overcome addiction, offering listeners a fresh perspective outside the conventional 12-step program.
The episode also touches on the recent exposure of controversial practices within Scientology and the Catholic Church, drawing parallels to issues within AA. Monica doesn't shy away from discussing legal battles either. She highlights ongoing legal actions against AA, emphasizing the importance of supporting those who are fighting for their rights. Through it all, she underscores the power of connection and community in the recovery process, making this episode both enlightening and empowering.
If you're curious about alternative approaches to addiction recovery or simply want to hear compelling stories from those who've walked away from traditional methods, this episode is a must-listen. Monica's engaging storytelling and candid interviews make for an episode that's as informative as it is inspiring.
