Ep 97 Welcome to AA. Now Betray Yourself. #CultyComments

Did I really have free will in my first AA meeting… or was I coerced into self-identifying?

Today on Culty Comments, we’re unpacking the pressure, the mind control, and the emotional manipulation baked into Alcoholics Anonymous—starting with the forced identification as an "alcoholic."

🎯 In this episode:

The truth about group pressure and AA's identification rituals

Why “you can leave any time” is a myth rooted in thought reform

What happened when I tried not to say the words at my first meeting

How coercive control works in recovery—and why it’s so dangerous
