Ep 216 AA's "Similarities, Not Differences" Doctrine with Burn The Stigma
About this episode
Tara Grace from Burn The Stigma and I are diving into AA ideology's doctrine to "look for the similarities, not the differences" - and how this can delay understanding of who or how we are and therefore adequate support, strip us of our individuality, and block us from getting better.
