If it were a disease of the brain right, then why would you be going to religious self-help groups run by strangers and lay people that were reading and studying a book from The 1930s, if it were a real brain disease?
Ever wondered if what you see about Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) on TV and in movies is the whole truth? In this eye-opening episode of 'Safe Recovery', Monica Richardson takes a deep dive into how AA is portrayed in popular media. From blockbuster films to TV dramas, she dissects the myths and realities that Hollywood perpetuates about AA. With insights from famous actors, writers, and musicians, Monica pulls back the curtain on what AA really is and what it isn’t.
She also touches on the harmful 'powerlessness' mentality that AA promotes and why it can be detrimental to those seeking recovery. But it’s not all criticism—Monica also explores alternative healing methods and therapies that offer a more empowering path to sobriety. Featuring commentary on influential articles by Gabrielle Glaser and Lance Dodes, this episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the real story behind AA.
Tune in for a fresh perspective on addiction recovery that goes beyond the Hollywood script.
