Program Tripping refers to a toxic dynamic within Alcoholics Anonymous, where there is a coercive culture that pressures members to conform to rigid interpretations of the program. This phenomenon often manifests in the following ways:
Coercive Conformity: Members may feel obligated to strictly adhere to the 12 steps and the group's expectations, with little room for personal interpretation or individual journey. Those who deviate from these norms may face social ostracism.
Harassment and Intimidation: Individuals expressing doubts or differing views may experience aggressive questioning or criticism, creating an environment of fear that discourages open sharing and vulnerability.
Escalation of Conflict: In extreme cases, members may resort to threatening behavior, including calling law enforcement on others in attempts to have them arrested or removed from the group. This escalation is deeply concerning and can create a hostile atmosphere that undermines the principles of support and compassion.
Social Consequences: Members who do not conform may face negative repercussions, such as isolation, bullying, or being targeted for public confrontation, which can severely impact their willingness to engage with the recovery process.
Impact on Recovery: Rather than fostering a safe and supportive environment, Program Tripping can lead to increased anxiety, reluctance to seek help, and ultimately, a detrimental effect on a member’s recovery journey.

Get the Kira Stephanie Cummings And Zunilda Virginia Junco's Program Advance Called Bath Room Stallmug. A male in their 30's (or older) who lives with their parents and has never lived independently. They are content with having a job that has little to no responsibility and doesn't require a background check or drug tests. They are not sure how to attract a female, save money for the future to buy or rent their own place, nor save for their retirement. Often referred to as Peter Pan Syndrome. Ambitions tend to focus on becoming a social media influencer without any plan for how to do that. They have entered the Delayed Entry Program for adults.

Get the Kerbal Space Programmug. The art of creating applications for mobile devices, which can seem straightforward but often leads to confusion and frustration—especially for those who score an F, like I did, when faced with the intricacies of different platforms and coding languages.
Mobile Programming sounded fun until I got an F in the course; it turns out that juggling APIs, frameworks, and debugging is a lot harder than it seems!

Get the Mobile Programmingmug. A program that your hard earned money pays for whether you like it or not that was intentionally used to help people get out of debt, but instead just encourages them to stay poor, or continue to do what made them poor.
