People when they hear criticism, they're going to think that you're totally anti-aa just simply because you criticize it. But again, when you have a sacred text, I read up on thought reform and there's a great book by Robert J Lifton and he came up with eight criteria for thought reform and you can map aa slogans against those things.
Imagine dedicating 14 years to a program, only to realize it’s time to find a new path. That’s exactly what Jon Stewart from Brighton, England did. In this eye-opening episode of the Beyond Belief Sobriety Podcast, Jon shares his compelling story of leaving Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) after over a decade of commitment. His candid conversation with the host offers a fresh perspective on sobriety outside the traditional AA framework.
Jon reflects on his experiences within AA, shedding light on the program's benefits and its limitations. He dives into why he felt the need to move on and how he found strength in secular recovery options. This episode is a must-listen for anyone questioning their own recovery journey or curious about alternative paths to sobriety. Jon’s story underscores the importance of self-honesty and the courage to explore all available treatment options.
Tune in to hear a raw and inspiring dialogue that challenges conventional recovery paradigms.
