  • Anti-MLM stories: Cory Perry-That Anti MLM Girl

    Today I'm talking to Cory Perry, the famous Anti MLM Girl. We talk about how YouTube taught her about MLMs, and how they are similar to Bob Meehan's enthusiastic sobriety programs. I interview members of the anti-MLM community because MLM indoctrination is a part of my story, and the philosophies are very similar. We talk about Steve Hassan's BITE model and how it applies to MLMs and ES programs. You're in for a treat!

    Happy day after Thanksgiving! Heat up some leftovers and tune in to Susanna Eller. Susanna joined the group in 1999 in Augusta, Georgia. After 20 years of being in recovery, Susanna decided to look deeper at the diagnosis of alcoholic she received and figure out if she really needed to be "sober".  We talk about the genesis of the Augusta group and why the coolest people there were Stephen and Sherm.

  • Survivor Story: Jake McEndollar

    This week, Liz and Jacqueline interview Jacob McEndollar, the man behind "The Group" documentary. Jacob talks about what it's like to explore his time in the group 20 years later. We talk about our experiences with anger and how we faced what we'd been through and what we did. 
    You might have noticed our name changed; we talk about that, too. Thank you to all of those that came before us. 
    After you listen go watch Jacob's documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXBLYEeF5vs

  • Survivor Story: Bob Fleming-The Insight Program, Greensboro, North Carolina

    This week we talk with Bob Fleming and hear about  his time in enthusiastic sobriety programs in Greensboro, North Carolina, starting at 14 years old. He talks about struggling to manage his diabetes because he was called "attention seeking" for needing to eat and sleep regularly, what graduation was like, and what he still deals with now from his time in the group. We had so much fun with Bob, and we hope you will too!
