Overview of The Sober Truth

The Sober Truth exposes AA's shocking 5-10% success rate, challenging America's addiction treatment dogma. Dr. Gabor Mate calls this controversial expose "essential" - what if everything we've been told about recovery is scientifically bankrupt? Harvard professors agree: it's time to question the rehab industry.

When the Cure Becomes the Disease

Over five million Americans gather weekly in church basements and community centers, seeking salvation from addiction through a program created nearly a century ago by two men with no medical training. Courts mandate it. Celebrities swear by it. An entire $15 billion industry has been built on its foundation. Yet peer-reviewed research reveals a startling truth: Alcoholics Anonymous succeeds for only 5-10% of participants-barely better than doing nothing at all. How did a religious program with such dismal outcomes become America's default response to addiction? And more importantly, what does this tell us about our willingness to question what everyone assumes works?
