You don't get to know AA without knowing the Big Book. The host will guide listeners through the Big Book's preface and four updated forewords, and delve into how the program is misleading and nefarious starting on page one. She will also define slogans and seven-dollar words that you might not be familiar with but are implanted in each member's stream of consciousness.

On the premier episode of In Recovery from Alcoholics Anonymous, we're exposing the dirty truth about 12-step meetings. Ever felt put in unnecessary shame cycles, guilt-tripped about your imperfect program, told your trauma was your fault, or been assigned a personality that doesn't fit? You're not crazy; we've experienced it too. For non-members who couldn't get past the God-stuff, or non addicts who want to know more about what happens in these rooms, we won't mince words. Welcome to In Recovery From Alcoholics Anonymous, where cross-talk is welcome.
