I am so pissed off with her. All this bullshit about bullying making her hit the bottle.
No Jack, FFS own your tit....nobody made you hit the bottle or any other substances except YOU!
Surely that's one of the first principles of Recovery.
I have an addictive personality but at least I own it and address it ...I don't wail and gnash my teeth about my own behaviours. I deal with it, I plan, I ensure I don't put myself in situations where it can fester.

Yeah I do not have time for this
Agree on the Oreos, Jack.
What were we (Manc Bee?) saying about blue tick responses?
Twitter obviously wasn’t working so off she went to try Instagram.
The high she will be getting off this will be nauseating.
Same, babe. Nodded throughout this and it’s why I’ve started to feel down in myself whenever I discuss it irt her, I feel compelled to defend it but it doesn’t feel in the spirit of yellow card or my own/the fellowship’s anonymity (despite this being a forum full of anonymous ninnies). It just feels bleeping gross, like it’s nauseating reading this tit repeatedly with changing narratives and new holes popping up left right and center. You also explained step 4 a lot better lol thank you my love, hope you have a better night than your day x
Using SB's dad's name, ooo-er Jack, be careful.
Shes on a message frenzy again...
Didnt her friends text her?!
She should be fawning over them on whatapp or whatever?!

Eh i thought she wasnt naming names?! Crikey!
Petition for my new Tattle name to be: ‘an absolute oral riot’.
She’s giddy with attention, again. I’m not a fellow, but have close friends who are. I’ve heard of the notion of the dry high (paraphrasing here) - when you abstain, you also need to recognise what replaces the high previously sought through alcohol or drugs. Hers is definitely attention.
Good for her in recovery but must it come with such weighted blame?

An insufficient narcissistic supply from her conference appearance so she's ramped it up.
In other news Fraus, Jameela Jamil is popping up on Insta (on rather a large account) being exposed for her constant stream of exaggerations/lies.
SPOILER="Addiction"]Forgive me, i have not really got much experience with addiction, but is your addiction really Someone elses fault or your own?! [[/SPOILER]
They do indeed swing along fast at times. Back in the days of the all night chaoses, we were basically working in shifts. Tiring times for the cabal
Taking a guess here (that is I am making it up)
Jack’s low paid part time job is in a Trussel Trust shop as a retail assistant . They pay the National Livong Wage, so a massive £9.50 an hour.
Her work colleagues are the other staff and volunteers.
The job makes Jack happy, and she is surprisingly good at window displays
I suspect if you asked 100 different ppl you’d get 100 different answers to this! IMO there is a mental health condition (or array of) that underpins addiction / substance abuse (as not all addictions are to substances!) which are either through nature/nurture/a combo of. I had/have friends that drink and consumed far more than I ever did, far more often, but they didn’t have something in their brain that put them into a MH crisis like I had. It’s a v complex medical/psychological issue that even doctors can’t agree on by sounds of it, but the wide breadth of lived experiences in the rooms - to me - suggests there’s no one single cause tho? Then you’ve got the sociological factors on top of it too which shape how substance abuse is perceived [in this essay….]
In the same way real world events can trigger a adverse mental health response eg reading about food shortages can cause anxiety I suppose you could argue people can trigger you to abuse substances. But the onus is on you to realise that seeking oblivion isn’t a proportionate response to *any* stimulus and step 4/5 help with that? Like say… my dad died, if I went and got black out drunk is that his fault for dying? How could he not have died to help with this lmao? Or my fault for not sitting with the difficult emotions that brings up and doing something loving & kind for myself instead? If it could be someone’s fault we’re asking the world to always respond in a way we want it to, which just isn’t possible - you have to face adversity at some point right?!
