It’s Not a Loving Philosophy — It’s a Cult Religion.

Welcome back to Culty Comments — where we deconstruct the ideology of Alcoholics Anonymous so we can get free. Today’s comment says:

"The alcoholic death is worse than anything you can say about AA. I love AA, not perfection, but progress and life-saving philosophy of love and others paying it forward."

Let’s unpack this.

What if what looks like “love” is actually coercive control?

What if that “life-saving philosophy” is rooted in cult religion tactics and false binaries like “AA or death”?

And what if the people praising AA the loudest are also the most deeply controlled by it?
