In today’s Culty Comments episode of the Sobriety Bestie Podcast, we’re breaking down a classic AA defender argument: “You got sober in the wrong country — AA is different elsewhere.”

I’ve been to meetings across the U.S., Australia, Bali, India, Nepal, and Europe — and here’s the truth: no matter the culture, no matter the meeting format, it all comes back to the same book and the same controlling ideology.

👉 In this episode we’ll cover:

• Attacking the messenger instead of the message
• My firsthand experiences in Australia AA
• How AA’s “Big Book” is inherently controlling
• Why the 12 Steps are always the same path
