After decades in Alcoholics Anonymous, I left to make the documentary The 13th Step, exposing sexual misconduct and systemic problems within AA. Since then, I’ve continued investigating the addiction treatment industry, including my unfinished 2019 project Rehab Riot, whose interviews are now being released here. 
Deprogramming from  AA  or any 12 step group has been my passion. 
Critical  thinking,  asking  questions, uplifting  new pathways. Uncrack the  code  of   1935 nonsense AA propaganda. 
This channel will challenge the cultural narrative that AA is the only answer. 
This is a space for open discussion, accountability, and real reform. This is  my voice, this is my channel . I look forward to hearing your  voice in the comments  below.   2026   represent s  a new chapter  in my investigations  and uplifting of other  people  who have  fought  and left   what we consider the Cult of  AA.
