Make it a policy from the top down to the meetings or from the bottom up, however you want to look at it, that you need a safety poster on the wall and literature and a zero tolerance policy in regards to sexual harassment and battery.
What if the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, Bill Wilson, wasn't the hero he's often portrayed as? In this gripping episode of Safe Recovery, host Monica Richardson and a panel of seasoned AA members dive into the murky waters of Bill Wilson's personal life. They reveal his long-term affair while his wife Lois stood by, unaware and enduring the pain silently. But that's just the tip of the iceberg.
The discussion also uncovers a disturbing trend: court-mandated attendance of violent criminals and sex offenders at AA meetings, often without the knowledge of other members. This episode doesn't shy away from the tough questions. How safe are these meetings? What measures can be taken to protect vulnerable members? Monica and her guests advocate for stringent safety policies and zero tolerance for harassment.
They also explore the power of individualized recovery plans that allow people to find what truly works for them. Women's activism against sexual harassment within AA is another focal point, highlighting the courage and resilience of those fighting for safer spaces. The conversation extends beyond traditional 12-step programs, delving into alternative healing methods like meditation and personal reflection.
This episode is a raw, eye-opening journey into the realities of addiction and recovery, offering new perspectives and empowering approaches for those struggling with alcohol dependency and drug overuse.
