Get the fun-tripping mug.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 Guilt Tripping mug.The abuse of administrative or moderation authority to dominate, punish, or humiliate others. Power tripping often involves selectively enforcing rules, banning users for minor or invented infractions, and demanding deference from community members. It is driven by the intoxicating effect of authority without accountability. Power tripping is a major driver of clique mentality: mods often build cliques around themselves, using bans to eliminate critics and reward loyalists. When a server or subreddit feels like a dictatorship, power tripping is likely the cause.
Example: “The mod banned anyone who disagreed with his favorite streamer, then posted in the staff channel about ‘keeping the community safe.’ Power tripping: authority as ego fuel.”
