Ep 17 Why I left AA after 10 years

🎧 Episode Summary:In this raw, unfiltered, and deeply personal episode, I finally break my silence and my anonymity around Alcoholics Anonymous. After 10 years as a devoted, true-believer AA member and 5 years since leaving the program, I'm opening up about why I left — and what happened next.This is the story of what it means to evolve beyond recovery. It’s not an AA bash-fest. It’s a soul-truth telling, and my intention is to liberate anyone who’s been quietly wrestling with doubts, dissonance, and the terrifying question: What if I leave... and I die?I share:The moment I realized I was in a high-control ideologyHow critical thinking cracked open my AA worldviewThe painful (and freeing) process of deprogrammingWhy I now believe recovery can become learned helplessnessHow I discovered I was autistic and ADHD after leaving AAWhat recovery actually means to me nowThe surprising grief, fear, and freedom that comes from walking awayIf you've ever felt trapped in a program that once saved you, or you’ve questioned whether staying is still serving your evolution — this episode is for you.I share this not to convince, but to validate, to liberate, and to remind you: You're allowed to grow beyond where you started.🌀 If You’re in the Deprogramming Phase…I created a course called Deprogram, specifically for folks leaving AA and navigating the messy, liberating, identity-shifting work of reclaiming their own mind.It’s a roadmap I wish existed when I left Alcoholics Anonymous.🌀 Deprogram AA Online Course🩷 It's safe to trust yourself 🩷📺 Subscribe to Watch on YouTube🧘🏼‍♀️ FREE RESOURCES to jumpstart your evolution 👇📍 Roadmap to Freedom Masterclass 🦁 Sober Confidence Mini Course 📕 Self Love + Emotional Sobriety Book 🧠 Neurodivergent Discovery Portal 📺 My TED talk on trauma + addiction🧘🏼‍♀️ GO DEEPER WITH ONLINE COURSES 👇🦁 Liberated in Sober Skin 🚀 Rocket Your Recovery 💊 Digital Anxiety Pill 💥 Big Dream Energy💗 Live Your Truth 🚘 Driving Anxiety💬 Let’s Connect @SobrietyBestieDM me or reply to any post on IG or FB.
