I quit drinking… and then I quit Alcoholics Anonymous. Kirsten's Sober Story.

Key Takeaways From This Video

Quitting alcohol and leaving AA are two separate journeys — and one can be harder than the other.

Alcoholism isn’t always the real problem — 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 — 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 — your path is valid even if it doesn't look traditional.
