What happens when someone says AA worked for them — but they never did a 4th step, and now they can socially drink?
In today’s episode of Culty Comments, we unpack the wild logic of “real alcoholic” rhetoric, circular definitions, and why AA defenders erase anyone who doesn’t fit the narrative. Plus… did someone really claim AA is scientific because Dr. Bob was a rectal surgeon?!
Let’s talk about:
The No True Scotsman fallacy in AA
Stepper-splaining and circular dogma
Why questioning AA = instant exile
