Living Happy Lives, sober or with moderation. You choose...Americans need to step up and be more EMPOWERED!
Have you ever wondered what it's like to leave Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and seek out new recovery options? In this episode of Safe Recovery, host Monica Richardson takes listeners on a journey through the often-overlooked challenges and opportunities that come with breaking away from AA. With her signature candid style, Monica dives into the controversial aspects of AA, including court-mandated attendance for violent and sexual offenders and the organization's deeply religious undertones.
She also highlights alarming reports of predatory behavior within AA clubhouses. But it’s not all about the negatives. Monica brings to light a variety of alternative recovery methods that can offer hope and empowerment to those looking for different paths. From SMART Recovery and SOS to Moderation Management and Hams Harm Reduction, there are numerous options available that don’t require adherence to AA’s traditional framework.
Monica and her guests also delve into the emotional and social hurdles faced when leaving AA, such as maintaining relationships with friends who are still in the program. They emphasize the importance of finding a recovery method that truly works for each individual, promoting a sense of empowerment and personal choice. If you're feeling stuck in your current recovery journey or just curious about what else is out there, this episode provides a refreshing perspective on the possibilities beyond AA.
