The only way to keep it is to give it away, and they say in every different way that your sobriety is dependent on your service to others, that only an alcoholic can work with another alcoholic.
Ever wondered if Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) might have some cult-like tendencies? This episode of the Freedom Model podcast tackles that very question head-on. Hosts Mark Scheeren and Michelle Dunbar dive deep into the criteria set by the Cult Awareness Network to see if AA fits the bill. But that's not all—they also scrutinize AA's effectiveness in treating addiction, debunk myths about its founder, and expose some of the recruitment tactics used by the organization.
With a mix of sharp analysis and candid discussion, this episode offers a fresh perspective on AA and its role in the recovery landscape. Perfect for anyone questioning traditional recovery methods or simply curious about the inner workings of AA.
