Suzanne details the characteristics and tactics used by cults to dominate, retain and segregate members from society and how this impacted her recovery during step work especially with the formation of her higher power. Suzanne closes with how her own first bad experiences with AA profoundly impacted her and impressed upon her how imperative it is “to send the newcomer home with the best piece of yourself”.
