This is exactly how I feel.I think I’ve mentioned before on these threads, that I have a difficult relationship with alcohol. I find her “soberness” triggering and quite frankly, patronising.
I don’t think you’re he only one. It’s the preachy virtue signalling approach to it all. When in reality, she’s a bloody mess and shouldn’t be advising anyone on anything!This is exactly how I feel.
I’ve been thinking about it a lot over the last couple of days as to what it is about Clemmie’s story that doesn’t help me. I think it’s because she says she didn’t drink much in the years preceding her ‘soberness’ due to having young kids. Makes me feel rubbish because I have a complicated relationship with alcohol AND I have young kids, I drink more since becoming a mother if anything!
So I feel rubbish about that and also I feel well if you didn’t drink much then it can’t have been hard to give up. Try being a regular heavy drinker and trying to give that up, makes me feel like it will never be possible for me to cut down or quit because I’m ‘too far gone’...it feels too hard.
I know I shouldn’t lay my issues at Clemmies door and I don’t really but it does just make me feel rubbish.
Me too. I stopped drinking 4 years ago because it made me feel like shit, even a couple of glasses of wine made me feel gross. I don't tell people I'm sober and my family don't give me cards. I'm just a person who doesn't like drinking alcohol.Okay, but do we think she actually did have a drinking problem and that’s why she gave up drinking? I absolutely can’t see why her kids would give her cards for giving up drinking otherwise. I don’t drink. At all. It made me anxious and I didn’t like who I was. So I stopped. I don’t have an app, or a countdown or several blogs and/or a podcast I just got on with it. Quietly. (I see the irony here!) I also would never call myself sober.
To be fair she might not be paid to post the competition! If she was she’d have to declare it as an AD or a paid partnership.I find it really irritating when they say “competition for no reason”. Well you got paid to post about the competition so that’s the reason. And since you have no USP and you accept any partnership that comes your way it looks very random but the reason is money, please don’t pretend otherwise it’s insulting.
Since when does that stop them?To be fair she might not be paid to post the competition! If she was she’d have to declare it as an AD or a paid partnership.
Having followed her for a while she tends to declare. That’s all I meantSince when does that stop them?
Oh that’s really sad if it the caseI don’t know. Perhaps I’m being slow on the uptake but I’m reading it as she shared a story of some scammer message, but one of her followers thought it was real and DM’d her and now she’s laughing at them for thinking it was real?
