I find her incredibly frustrating as a person someone like Daniella is exactly why fellowships like AA/CA don’t like celebrities talking about it publicly and explicitly because she lies, fucks up and people think it won’t work. I have previously been part of it, not my thing these days but it was helpful at the start and especially to be part of something.
Addiction took me to some dark places, I have behaved in ways that can fill me with shame even today if I think about it too much, I am no better than anyone HOWEVER, I made a choice.
Addiction is hard to explain and it’s hard for someone to understand if they don’t suffer as it is completely insane and makes no sense, I know if I made a choice to start again today, it wouldn’t be as simple as just being able to stop tomorrow, substances and behaviour seem to effect me differently from the majority of people. All this being said, I have a choice today.
Daniella has had countless chances, rehabs, money, support etc. i think her fundamental problem is that she is incapable of being honest, with herself or anyone else. Until you get the self honesty and admit that YOU are the problem here and need to sort it out, still this will continue. Daniella is the only one who can sort it but I suspect this is sadly only going to go one way here because I don’t think there is a rock bottom
Here and fundamentally, she is comfortable with her life even if it is awful.
