Many times they're just straight zealots, like you said. They're not doctors that interface with the Faa either and but, and they're convinced the Faa, that's what they told me- the Faa's gonna want you.
Ever felt like you're being pushed into something that just doesn't fit? In this compelling episode of 'Safe Recovery', Monica Richardson, a dedicated filmmaker and victims advocate, takes a hard look at the coercion faced by professionals like pilots, nurses, and doctors who are forced into Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Monica dives deep into the stories of those who’ve stood up against this pressure and emerged victorious, like a nurse in Vancouver who recently won her fight against mandatory AA attendance.
With a sharp focus on civil, human, and religious rights, she uncovers how these coercive tactics clash with personal freedoms and legal protections such as HIPPA and the Disabilities Act. Did you know that being labeled with 'Alcohol Use Disorder' can classify you as having a disability?
Monica doesn't just stop at the problem; she also explores alternative healing methods for alcohol dependency and drug overuse, offering a beacon of hope for those seeking to reclaim their lives without AA's traditional framework. Whether you're a professional feeling the squeeze or someone supporting them, this episode is packed with insights and practical advice on fighting back and finding empowerment. It's a must-listen for anyone ready to challenge the status quo and take control of their recovery journey.
