It's like people have to see it what it is. And I you know, I just think it's outrageous.
Picture this: you've turned to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or a rehab facility for support, only to find yourself facing sexual harassment. This episode of 'Safe Recovery', hosted by Monica Richardson, tackles this deeply troubling issue head-on. With recent headlines about court-ordered rehab for convicted rapists and ongoing investigations into shady practices by sober living moguls like Chris Bathum, the episode couldn’t be more timely. Monica dives into these alarming stories, highlighting how intertwined AA is with the broader rehab industry.
She sheds light on the case of the Stanford swimmer who, after a lenient sentence for sexual assault, was mandated to attend AA meetings. The episode also covers the investigation into Chris Bathum, a prominent figure in the sober living community, who is under scrutiny by the DA, FBI, and insurance companies for his questionable practices. Throughout the episode, Monica calls for action.
She emphasizes the importance of seeking legal help and exploring alternative healing methods that prioritize safety and empowerment. It's a powerful message for anyone navigating the challenging landscape of addiction recovery. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode is a must-listen. Monica's candid discussion not only raises awareness about the predatory behavior lurking in some 12-step meetings but also offers hope through alternative paths to recovery.
If you’ve ever felt vulnerable or unsafe in traditional recovery settings, this episode provides valuable insights and practical advice on how to protect yourself and find safer, more supportive communities.
