AA Sponsorship: Unveiling the Ugly Truth and Seeking Better Alternatives
The point is exposing the nonsense, educating people that there's something else: making people realize that they're not alone when they leave, that they can leave, that you're not going to drink, die and go insane and go to prison because you leave this baby mini-cult that actually is a behemoth in our government.
Ever felt let down by an AA sponsor? Monica Richardson takes a hard look at the world of Alcoholics Anonymous sponsorship in this eye-opening episode of 'Safe Recovery'. She doesn't hold back, exposing the nonsense and predatory behavior that sometimes lurks in 12-step meetings. This isn’t just about calling out the bad apples; it's about understanding why these issues arise and how they impact those seeking help.
Monica dives into the often-overlooked dangers of fentanyl and opioid deaths, adding a crucial layer to the conversation about addiction recovery. But it’s not all doom and gloom. She also highlights the importance of empowerment over powerlessness, advocating for new approaches to alcohol dependency and drug overuse. The episode takes a bold stance on the prevalence of sexual harassment within AA, urging listeners to question the status quo and seek safer, more effective paths to sobriety.
Psilocybin’s potential benefits also get a nod, offering a glimpse into alternative healing methods. If you’re tired of the same old recovery narratives and are looking for fresh, empowering insights, this episode is a must-listen.
