When I left AA, I didn’t just walk away from meetings—I dove straight into studying emotional manipulation.

Because I felt humiliated.

Embarrassed.

Played.

Like how did I believe all the nonsense FULLY and for so long. So I wanted to understand what the hell had happened—and how to never fall for it again.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

• The simple tactic I use in real time to break free from manipulation
• 3 high-control manipulation tactics you’ll often see in AA
• How recognizing these patterns can help you reclaim your agency and self-trust

If you’ve ever felt guilt-tripped, silenced, or confused by the way people acted when you tried to leave… If you’re still unpacking the internal programming...

This is for you.
