I know I bang on about this every thread but she INFURIATES ME.
1. If you are an alcoholic Jack, why the FUCKING FUCK are you saying the one thing that you just don’t say “just don’t drink” fucking hell, as if no one has heard that before.
Craving waves last longer than that and telling someone to just “sit with It” is dangerous, it just loops, you actively need to call someone and do something else. Or you stay in the craving loop and it can go on for hours.
“allow yourself to be fully human” oh fuck off you complete cunt. That sort of bullshit platitude kept me drinking for years
she is DANGEROUS
essing with this Stuff kills people.
In terms of AA, firstly she is no where near clean enough to be giving it the big one with advice - shut up, listen, get solid recovery and then start suggesting which is what my excellent sponsor told me early days .
More importantly, the traditions of AA talk of “attraction rather than promotion.” This basically means live such a good life so that people want it as well. There is nothing worse than banging on most people with a problem will just run a mile.
MOST important. In terms of media, AA frowns on this unless worked with closely as basically, if someone public talks about how wonderful AA is and then relapses, it puts people off. People can also chat shit and spread false information based on their interpretation and ego.
Jack won’t get any of this because there is fuck all recovery there, she just doesn’t drink (allegedly) Recovery is completely different to sobriety.
Again; apologies for always banging on but she could legitimately kill someone. Such as, advising someone to “just not drink” is at best, counterproductive. At worst, kill them. Those who are alcohol dependent cannot just stop, they can have seizures and die. But yeah Jack, carry on with your suggestions and bollocks.
