Ep 36 The Mindf*ck of Being Half In and Half Out of AA
Episode 36
What if you're going to meetings, working with a sponsor, maybe even doing the steps… but deep down, you don’t believe it anymore?
Today’s episode is for you.
This is a living f*cking amends to anyone I ever indoctrinated into AA. I used to believe it all. I taught it all. And now I know better. If you're stuck in that weird in-between—half in, half out—you're not alone. And you're not crazy.
We’re talking about:
- What it feels like to question AA while still in it
- The emotional + mental toll of staying silent around your doubts
- Why “alcoholism” isn’t a real diagnosis—and what is
- Whether harm reduction inside AA is even possible
- Tips from folks who deprogrammed while still attending meetings
- Why your gut knows when it’s time to leave
- A call to trust yourself, your brain, and your future
👉🏽 This episode is a permission slip. Not to do what I say—but to listen to yourself.
And if you’ve been silently struggling, I’d love to hear from you. Leave a comment on the YouTube version of this episode here or DM me—let’s start a better conversation about recovery, truth, and autonomy.
Because it’s not your job to conform.
