The question so many of us wonder... Is Alcoholics Anonymous a Cult?

We're pulling today's pod from Sobriety Bestie YouTube on.. is AA a cult. Listen in here or you can watch it on Sobriety Bestie Youtube.

Based on my 10 years inside AA, 5 years outside AA, and everything I’ve learned since speaking publicly — I’m unpacking it all.

Inside this episode:

✨ My first impressions of AA (hint: it wasn’t great)

✨ Love bombing, mind control, and "friends with conditions"

✨ Why informed consent matters in recovery

✨ How the real whiplash hit AFTER I left

✨ Why speaking out is met with cult-like behavior

✨ And how my mind is still evolving on this question today

This is about truth. freedom. critical thinking.

If you’ve ever wondered:

– "What the hell did I just go through?"

– "Why does leaving AA feel so intense?"

– "Am I crazy for questioning it?"

You are not alone.

There are thousands of us silently thriving after leaving AA.

It’s time to have the conversations that help us heal, evolve and move forward.
