I’m currently rewatching game of thrones and even it has more nuance than Jack on sobriety!

I have worked the steps and every now and then still check in with a meeting. I failed many times.
Lasting a week, sometimes a month, occasionally a couple of months. But I'd always end up finding an excuse to 'fall off the wagon'.
Then one of the 'old timers' at a meeting I was making a show of attending said to me, "Do you know why this is not working for you? You haven't hit rock bottom. It may be waking up in a gutter or next to someone you don't know. We all have our own rock bottom."
I smiled, nodded and moved on.
Got back drinking and carried on.
Then one morning, after a 'great' night out I woke up next to my wife who looked like she had been in a car accident.
She was purple.
When I asked her what in the name of Christ had happened she said, "You happened. You happened to me. You did this."
My father was a spiteful, violent, alcoholic and I despised that about him.
To this day I have no recollection of laying hands on her but I feel sick every time I think about the state I had made of her.
That was my rock bottom.
I went to a meeting that day and did it properly because I never wanted to see in my wife's eyes that same contempt I had felt for my Father.
This is why I rarely involve myself with the "AA Jack" chat.

The minimum she would get from patreon now is £854 pm. For doing absolute nothing.
Thank you for sharing this. How hard you have worked; how hard we continue to work.
Does Jack follow trifle defender?
Alice in The Archers is more convincing but tbf the bar is fairly low
Ditto James and Lala off of Vanderpump Rules
So I think we actually missed the subtle burn by Trifely D which in Game of thrones parlance is actually wildfire….
Oh how lovely, I love the book too. he does have a boyish charm and is more relatable, especially when seen from the eyes of a young person feeling helpless, I'm sure we could all identify with his imaginery Ambrosia .@Shawads
I've been waiting for a Billy Liar reference since I joined the Cabal.Love the book and the film
Jack, however completely lacks the charm of Billy Fisher.x
there was a follow up book , not sur if rher was a film, I enjoyed it but not as charming as a fully blown adult with real responsibilities
I love old movies, especially sixties kitchen sink drama but old noir too, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford would eat jack for breakfast
Trifle defender blocked Jack after the 2 day long-covid thing. And the trifles of course.
Don’t have the receipts but I think the Queen blocked her
Agreed, I like them for a non-alcoholic option, even if they're usually a bit more expensive than some alternatives.
I also like them with vodka, but that's defeating the object of this discussion.
BE STILL MY HEART.
Blocking her was such a good move, it means Jack will have no idea what's going on on her timeline and who is liking her tweets. Because the only other way she would know is if she reads here which she obviously doesn't
Lol, I remember when Alice first started showing the signs of a drink problem.Alice in The Archers is more convincing but tbf the bar is fairly low
Wonder if jack would take UMBRAGE at this comparison to Alice from AMBRIDGE ?
The best fiction descent into alcoholism has to be Phil Mitchell, one day completely non problematic drinking, the next day careening around the streets with a bottle of non identifiable spirit wrapped in a brown paper bag.
She's going to end up as Honorary Frau of the Year 2022 as well at this rate!
Jack will be able to see it all if she logs out of her own account and either logs in on another account or just stays logged out.Blocking her was such a good move, it means Jack will have no idea what's going on on her timeline and who is liking her tweets.

As someone suggested upthread, I bet there are separate Whatsapp groups for the journalists and foodies who collectively roll their eyes at Jack.
The shade on POBP was beautiful
Yes but why would she bother unless she gets a heads up that there's burnage going on over there (which presumably she would only find out about by reading here except if one of her many helpful 'fwends' tipped her off about it. Which again, they'd probably only do if reading here).
In the full update we assume everyone is on the £3.50 tier and max platform fees of 12%, which is a VERY conservative estimate but means the bare minimum she’d have received today is £751.52
She last updated it with content on November 2020.
