Big Book Brain & Program Parrots
Most recovery culture is built on a hierarchy of time and dogma but what if everything you believe about recovery, your "drug of choice," and all the supposed “rules” are based on myths? This episode talks about the illusion of expertise cultivated by time in sobriety, exposing how it’s often used as a badge of authority that can hide harmful patterns, manipulative behaviors, and dangerous dogmas.Join us as we challenge the idea that longer sobriety automatically equals more wisdom. Tara takes apart common misconceptions: that sobriety must look a certain way, that substances like cannabis are inherently "bad," and that recovery must be a lifelong, rigid commitment. You’ll discover how recovery spaces sometimes reward power plays over genuine healing, and why rethinking these narratives could save lives, especially for those who feel trapped by all-or-nothing beliefs.This episode breaks down the pervasive influence of 12 step culture, revealing how a global consensus on dogma fosters groupthink and silences critical voices.

Escaping 12 Step Recovery From Indoctrination to Empowerment: Ashley's Path
I can’t find her page to link but I will insert it in when it’s back up/I find it. Most people don’t realize how deeply ingrained the 12-step recovery model is and how it might be doing more harm than good. Ashley’s journey from full endorsement to radical deprogramming reveals the hidden truths about substance use, recovery and the cult-like ecosystem that keeps so many trapped. What if everything you've been told about sobriety is based on myths like the infamous allergy theory that's been disproven for decades? In this eye-opening conversation, Ashley shares her raw story: from her early drug use as a raver, her 7-year sober streak and the devastating realization that she was living inside a cultural echo chamber that conditioned her to believe her worth was tied to time in the program.Ashley is a recovery advocate and former 12 step participant who now promotes harm reduction and evidence-based approaches to addiction. Her journey from indoctrination to liberation is a powerful testament to the possibility of authentic healing outside mainstream systems.
