Yes AA is a cult. For me, leaving AA was harder than getting sober — it can take serious courage to break free.

In this final video of my Yes, AA is a Cult series, we finish walking through the International Cultic Studies Association’s 15-point cult checklist .

Timestamps:

00:00 AA is a cult intro

02:10 13 – Inordinate time demands

08:30 14 – Insular social circles

13:40 15 – No life outside the group + fear to leave

19:26 Yes, AA is a cult conclusion

If you’ve felt trapped in AA, or struggled to fully leave it behind, this will resonate. And if you’re ready for deeper support, check out my Deprogram course:
