AA Comes for You — What Happened When I Told the Truth
I was in AA for 10 years. I left in 2020. But when I started talking publicly about it in 2025, everything changed.
This episode is about the backlash. The DMs. The control disguised as concern. The friends who got weird. And the culty energy that came pouring in when I finally spoke the truth.
If you’ve felt the pressure to stay silent… If you’ve felt the shame, the phobia indoctrination, or the gaslighting from people still inside…
You are not bananas.
You’re waking up.
And you’re not alone.
