Ep 21 Why AA Pushes Back When You Walk Away
Manage episode 478446267 series 3572309
Why does AA react so intense when you leave? We're diving into it in another Daily Dogma Detox special episode.
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the real reason why AA members push back so hard when someone chooses to leave—and thrive. When your exit doesn’t fit their narrative, it becomes a threat to their identity. The system can’t acknowledge your freedom, so it labels you as wrong, dangerous, or “not a real alcoholic.”
We’re talking about:
- Ideological possession (yes, it’s a real thing)
- Closed systems and why your truth threatens the whole structure
- Why speaking out feels scary—and why that fear was planted there
- Programming that tells you not to trust your own thinking
- And how to reclaim your voice, your autonomy, and your damn self
If you’ve left AA (or are thinking about it), this episode is here to remind you that your intuition is your compass. Not Bill’s ideas. Not groupthink. You.
