Show Notes
I was an AA true believer. I cried on Bill W’s grave. I did AA across the world.
But once I saw the truth—it all fell apart.
In this episode of the Sobriety Bestie Podcast, I break down how AA hooked me with high-control tactics, outdated 1930's ideology, and identity-based manipulation… and why I’ll never go to AA again.
🔍 Topics we cover:
- The sales tactics hidden inside the 12 steps
- Why “real alcoholic” is loaded language that locks you in
- The pushup disease in the parking lot myth 🙄
- How AA keeps you stuck in a lifetime sentence
- What I realized when I deprogrammed with modern science and truth
If you’re questioning the program, you’re not alone.
If you’re waking up, I see you.
If you’re ready to reclaim your mind—you’re in the right place.
