The 13th Step is a powerful documentary film that uncovers sex offenders, violent offenders, and old-timers who prey on innocent, vulnerable AA members.
Ever wondered what happens behind the closed doors of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)? In this eye-opening episode of 'Safe Recovery', Monica Richardson, the director of the acclaimed documentary 'The 13th Step', takes you on a journey into the darker side of AA. The film, which premiered at Cannes and won Best Documentary at the Beverly Hills Film Festival, sheds light on unsettling issues like sexual abuse and violence within AA meetings.
Monica, a former long-time AA member, left the organization in 2011 to create this groundbreaking film after facing resistance in her efforts to make AA safer. She shares her personal experiences and discusses the lack of accountability in AA, as well as the controversial practice of court-ordered attendance. This episode isn't just about highlighting problems; it’s about advocating for safer and more supportive recovery options.
If you're looking for an honest conversation about the realities of AA and the importance of finding a recovery path that truly empowers you, this episode is a must-listen.
