In today’s Culty Comments episode of the Sobriety Bestie Podcast, we’re breaking down a classic AA defender argument: “You got sober in the wrong country — AA is different elsewhere.”

I’ve been to meetings across the U.S., Australia, Bali, India, Nepal, and Europe — and here’s the truth: no matter the culture, no matter the meeting format, it all comes back to the same book and the same controlling ideology.

👉 In this episode we’ll cover:

  • Attacking the messenger instead of the message
  • My firsthand experiences in Australia AA
  • How AA’s “Big Book” is inherently controlling
  • Why the 12 Steps are always the same path

🪩 Get fee tools, community, Zooms and book club to deprogram 12-step ideology 📚
