Today in our deprogram AA series we’re unpacking how the AA disease model doesn’t just offer support—it can program you into a state of learned helplessness.

What starts as help can turn into a trap: you’re told you’re powerless, broken, and forever in recovery. But what if that’s not true? What if the idea of having a “fatal, progressive disease” is a belief system—not a biological reality—and what if that belief is what’s keeping you stuck?

We explore:

• The origins of AA’s disease concept (spoiler: Bill was a salesman)
• How “powerlessness” becomes programming
• The myth of the disease doing pushups in the parking lot
• The emotional cost of being told recovery is forever
• And how to unbrainwash yourself so you can finally move on, empowered
