The 12 Steps weren’t created to help you recover — They were designed to make you surrender to God.

In Part 5 of our Cult Religion series, we uncover the real origin of the 12 Steps. Not trial and error. Not divine inspiration. They were lifted directly from the Oxford Group — a 1930s religious cult obsessed with sin, confession, and absolute surrender to God.

Inside this episode:

🔎 Where each step really came from

⚠️ How religious control was disguised as “recovery”

🤯 How Bill Wilson didn’t invent the steps

📖 The disturbing links between AA’s program and moral re-armament tactics

💥 The steps were never a medical solution. They were a religious conversion tool. And most of us had no idea.
