In this episode of the Sobriety Bestie Podcast, I react to Steve-O’s appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast — a textbook example of how AA ideology spreads through media and celebrity culture.
This isn’t just a recovery story. It’s AA propaganda wrapped in a personal narrative, and Joe Rogan’s reactions are… kind of perfect.
From $100,000 rehab bills to “you’re never free” indoctrination, this conversation exposes the emotional, financial, and psychological cost of AA’s outdated, unscientific model — including how Steve-O was institutionalized after doing the 12 steps.
