I quit drinkingā¦ and then I quit Alcoholics Anonymous. Kirsten's Sober Story.
Key Takeaways From This Video
Quitting alcohol and leaving AA are two separate journeys ā and one can be harder than the other.
Alcoholism isnāt always the real problem ā for many, misdiagnosed mental health conditions (like ADHD, autism, or trauma) are the deeper root.
AA uses fear-based tactics and binary thinking that can cause long-term psychological harm, especially to vulnerable individuals.
Recovery doesn't have to be a lifelong sentence ā it can be temporary, individualized, and based on modern science and personal truth.
You are allowed to question the system, leave it, and still thrive in sobriety ā your path is valid even if it doesn't look traditional.
