Ep 84 Blinded by the Big Book #CultyComments

What do you call it when someone is so deep in AA ideology, they literally can’t see reality anymore?

In today’s Culty Comments, we unpack a wild comment that accuses me of “k*lling the real alcoholic” — all because I dared to say I’m not one. From purple-glasses metaphors to brainwashing cracks, we’re diving into ideological possession, thought control, and the bizarre ways AA defenders protect the system at all costs.

🧠 Topics inside:

What is ideological possession?

“Real alcoholic” as a control tactic

Why AA defenders can’t let you leave

The culty death-threat language hidden in “spiritual growth”

And yes… the Big Book glasses
