Description

What if you weren’t an “alcoholic” after all?

In this episode, we dive deep into two of AA’s most insidious high-control tactics:

🔹 Identity manipulation

🔹 Self-diagnosis under pressure

We unpack:

• How AA gets you to adopt the “alcoholic” label when you’re at your most vulnerable
• Why that label isn’t a medical diagnosis (and never has been)
• The harm that comes from mistaking neurodivergence, trauma, or mental health struggles as “alcoholism”
• How many folks only discovered their ADHD, autism, or bipolar II after leaving AA—and how life got so much better with real support
• The difference between addiction recovery and discovering who you really are

If you’ve ever felt gaslit by AA’s one-size-fits-all “solution,” this episode is for you.
