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In this episode of the Sobriety Bestie Podcast, I break down how AA hooked me with high-control tactics, outdated 1930's ideology, and identity-based manipulation… and why I’ll never go to AA again.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.
