Spotlight on Secrets: The Catholic Church and AA's Hidden Scandals

When you see what happens when you bring in an outsider, it's going to take somebody who is an outsider to be able to see things in a really clear light and not be shaded by the fact that you went to high school or grade school with that person and that you went to church with that person forever so that you couldn't do what he did.
What do The Catholic Church and Alcoholics Anonymous have in common? In this eye-opening episode of Safe Recovery, Monica Richardson draws striking parallels between these two institutions, particularly in their handling of sexual abuses. Inspired by the film 'Spotlight', Monica delves into the unsettling similarities in how both have historically covered up incidents of sexual harassment, rape, and abuse. She passionately discusses the need for transparency and accountability, emphasizing the devastating impact on survivors.
The conversation doesn't stop there; Monica also touches on the forced attendance in AA linked to the war on drugs and explores why alternative recovery solutions are vital. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of institutional power, secrecy, and the urgent need for change in how we approach addiction recovery.
