The only cure is devotion to a program for life and recruit others for life. Considering when you go in there, they're constantly telling you not to think.
Ever wondered if there's more to Alcoholics Anonymous than meets the eye? Joey C. and Bobby C. tackle this very question in a gripping episode of 'Brutally Sober'. Broadcasting from their usual haunt—a grocery store parking lot—the duo dives into the often unspoken truths about alcoholism and AA's deep programming. Bobby C. opens up about his own struggles, sharing how he tried to outsmart alcoholism but always fell short.
He questions whether AA is the ultimate brainwashing tool or a skillful guide to sobriety. The hosts dig into the roots of addiction, tracing its origins back to the idea of being bound like a delinquent debtor—an analogy that makes you stop and think. The episode doesn't shy away from controversy. Bobby C. scrutinizes the mental conditioning promoted by AA, pointing out the contradictions in its teachings about a higher power.
He even calls out the inclusion of the Lord's Prayer in meetings, questioning why a supposedly inclusive program leans so heavily on Christian traditions. Joey and Bobby also shed light on AA's historical ties to the Oxford Group, a Christian organization. They argue that this connection is often glossed over, misleading members about the program's true nature. The conversation is raw and unfiltered, peppered with personal anecdotes and hard-hitting questions.
By the end of the episode, you're left pondering whether traditional recovery methods are as foolproof as they claim to be. Joey and Bobby's candid discussion challenges you to rethink what you know about alcoholism and its treatment. If you're searching for a podcast that doesn't pull any punches, 'Brutally Sober' might just be your next binge-listen.
