We want to support men and women who have written new books on healing from alcohol dependency/drug overuse. Alternative healing, both spiritual and secular to create our better selves is what we are all about.
Monica Richardson returns with another thought-provoking episode of Safe Recovery, challenging the long-standing traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). If you've ever sat through an AA meeting and felt uneasy about the readings, you're not alone. Monica takes a deep dive into the preamble, the 12 traditions, and Chapter 5, revealing that up to 50% of these readings are misleading or outright false. Her journey of discovery began when she attended Smart Recovery and SOS meetings, and read the Orange Papers.
These experiences opened her eyes to the inconsistencies and inaccuracies within AA's foundational texts. In this episode, Monica doesn't just critique AA; she offers hope and alternatives. By sharing stories from her workshops and recent filming trips to Louisville and Arkansas, she illustrates the real-life impact of these misleading readings on individuals seeking recovery. The episode highlights the importance of questioning established norms and finding personalized paths to sobriety or moderation.
Whether you're new to recovery or a seasoned veteran, Monica's insights will encourage you to think critically about your own journey. Tune in for a candid discussion that not only exposes the myths within AA but also empowers you to explore alternative healing methods. Monica's approach is both empathetic and enlightening, making this episode a must-listen for anyone affected by addiction or supporting someone who is.
