This is the great thing about this moment in time, and I am so so grateful and appreciative of the first women that came forward...
Ever wondered why the issue of sexual harassment in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) has been kept under wraps for so long? In this compelling episode of Safe Recovery, Monica Richardson, a filmmaker and safety activist, tackles this very question. Monica dives deep into the dark side of AA culture, known as '13-stepping', where predatory behavior has been allowed to flourish unchecked for decades. She doesn’t just stop at highlighting the problem; she passionately discusses how we can bring about change.
Monica shares stories from victims and calls on everyone to stand with them, urging senators to repeal special rules that protect offenders. The episode also explores the confusion and mixed signals often present in AA meetings, making it difficult for victims to come forward. Monica emphasizes the importance of alternative recovery groups and deprogramming from AA or any other 12-step group.
The conversation broadens to include practical recovery solutions from experts like Tom Horvath and Barry Lessin, who offer innovative approaches to sobriety and family support. Monica’s discussion is both eye-opening and motivating, encouraging listeners to speak out against sexual harassment and seek safer, more supportive recovery environments. This episode isn’t just about exposing the problem; it’s about empowering those affected to take action.
If you’ve ever felt uneasy in traditional recovery settings or know someone who has, this episode offers valuable insights and a call to make a difference.
