About this episode
Escaping AA: Halloween Special with Carrie (AA Escapee 👻)
Your best thinking got you here — now let’s get you free.
In this Halloween jam, Carrie and I riff the AA clichés we lived, how we actually left, and what life’s like now without the daily-reprieve hamster wheel.
Critical thinking, self-trust, nervous system regulation, and writing a new story — no chips required.
