Ep 138 AA Invented This Term to Control You #CultyComments

In this episode of the Sobriety Bestie Podcast, I’m unpacking a culty comment that accuses my podcast of being “alcoholic thinking and behaving at its finest.”

🚫 Here’s the truth: there is no such thing as “alcoholic thinking” or “alcoholic behavior” outside of literally drinking alcohol.

These terms were invented and weaponized by AA to control the narrative, sell the disease model, and funnel people toward God as the supposed solution.

We’ll break down:

• How Bill W. used Dr. Silkworth’s “fatal disease” pitch to sell God
• Why terms like “alcoholic thinking” are propaganda, not science
• How attacking the messenger distracts from the real issue: the harmful ideology
• How critical thinking is a path to freedom
