Can't find a way to say this nicely but thick people like Jodie are the reason why people shouldn't be able to buy medication online

She should just stop talking about mounjaro. The more she speaks the bigger the hole she digs for herself and more of her followers are calling her out on it. She’s thick and shouldn’t be giving any information or advice about medication

It’s not a reach at all. There ARE addicts who’d go cold turkey and risk dying before turning to hurting other people to get their fix. I knew an alcoholic when did just that. I’m not sure what you mean by gambling addicts using to get clean? I totally get that they’d feel urges to gamble when trying to quit but seeing as they have no physical withdrawal symptoms at all from quitting, stealing from others to fund their habit is inexcusable.
Because gambling addicts often gamble ‘for the last time’ in false delusional hope that they will win back money they have lost to repay debts, fines, put money back etc then never have to do it again - it’s a vicious cycle. When I am using heroin, I’m not cooking up at hit to sort my life out.
You know 1 alcoholic, good for you and for them. That’s not the truth for the majority of us. Because that’s addiction and it’s shameful, painful and strips us and our families of everything. 😊

I mean, Jodie is an example of this not always being the case. She’s not gambling hoping it’s the last time and it’ll solve all her worries, she’s doing it because she enjoys it then hides behind it being an addiction to absolve herself of any personal responsibility.

Addiction in any case doesn’t excuse stealing off others but I think it’s more understandable when it’s a spur of the moment to feed a chemical addiction than continuously, systematically stealing and scamming people (including vulnerable pensioners) over a period of time to feed a habit that you get no physical withdrawals from. No one needs to agree with me though 🤷🏽‍♀️

I also never stated I only know 1 alcoholic so let’s not make things up 😊 I’ve spent plenty of time amongst people in AA and spent years as a child attending Alanon meetings and while you may think you can speak for the majority of people with an addiction, I don’t.

She's going to not have it prescribed to her anymore because she's been a tit online. They probably want nothing to do with her now.

You can effectively call any addiction a chemical addiction, proven by neuroscience. Why many of us relapse, as you have spent so much time in the rooms with so much lived experience, you will know it’s an illness and withdrawal aside - the illness is still there.
There is no excuse for doing those things, you are correct and we deserve our consequences. But there are reasons behind these behaviours. It’s not a blame game. Just because an addict hasn’t done those crimes doesn’t mean they will not. I always say to people when they say well I’m not that bad I’ve not done this that etc, ‘I will never = I haven’t yet’ all addiction is progressive, whether we are using or not, whether we have a physical dependency or not. Or there would be absolutely no need for anonymous programs.
 
That video where she’s waffling on about dreaming PLouise messaged her and told her how amazing she is? It’s not even desperation at this point it's embarrassing 😂 considering PLouise is the Poundland of influencer makeup

Wasn't she was just bragging about how much money she’s raking in thru the creator fund but can't bring herself to spend it on a cheap eyeshadow pallet, make it make sense

I agree that gambling can create a dopamine rush, and yes, dopamine can be addictive. I’m not denying that. But to try and put it on the same playing field as the chemical dependencies created by drugs or alcohol just doesn’t seem fair or accurate

Substances like alcohol and drugs physically alter brain chemistry. They change how a person’s brain functions long term. Gambling doesn’t do that, to my knowledge?

I’ve just found out that someone I knew growing up has died, more than likely as a result of their on/off addiction with alcohol and drugs. So when people say all addiction is the same, I cant just sit back and agree. That might feel like a unifying statement in recovery circles, but it flattens the reality of what substances do to people, physically, mentally and emotionally. Not all addictions operate on the same level. And trying to treat them as if they do just isn’t fair

I’m not here to invalidate anyones struggle. But right now in the middle of processing the loss of an old friend that came directly from alcohol and drug addiction, I’m not going to pretend a gambling addiction is chemically or biologically equal, because it's not
You are actually replying to somebody that has 20 years worth of heroin, crack and benzodiazepine addiction.
I am categorically telling you, that when I have relapsed (meaning I am abstinent from all chemicals and physical dependencies prior) the urge to use again is stronger than when I NEED to use when I am in physical dependency.
So with my own lived experience I can promise you, somebody relapsing with gambling will be akin to the feeling I have when I relapse.
There is a massive difference between physical dependency and the mental obsession. The two aren’t the same.
Jodie, is not willing to take responsibility for her illness. She does have the disease of addiction, which although is not her fault, it is her responsibility to become well and stay well. She claims she will not go to GA as there are only men there and I believe this to be an excuse. As when I went back to the rooms, it was all men, but my disease was killing me and I could not stop using and it was all down to me to put the action to stop.
I am very sorry about your friend’s loss, I send my condolences. We are all losing a lot of people at the moment as drugs are changing, the rooms are changing, it’s a difficult time for addicts and everyone that loves them.

I agree that all addictions are addictions regardless of what type. And I truly sympathise and support those who are going through it. The problem I have with Jodie, is 1. She went to jail for a crime she thoroughly thought out, not spur of the moment. And 2. Has used it to monetise her tiktok. If she was that remorseful of her crimes. She would be giving back (I know she says she is but I’m doubtful). Also she wouldn’t be so cocky when people say something she doesn’t like. Own your mistakes, properly own it, we may actually like you for it, Jodie

Oh please don't think I was having a go, as that wasn't my intention - I think my response came more from a place of raw emotion after only hearing about their death a few hours prior.

I guess when it's down to personal lived experience of addiction, rather than someone like me who has been able to take it or leave it when it comes to substances I'll never truly know the true extent of it all.

But you are right about Jodie using the excuse of GA being "full of men", its absolute balls. I find it ludicrous she is actually going and doing a podcast on gambling addiction, when she's still berating her partner on a weekly basis to give her money to gamble with
Jodie could also go to meetings online, I bet I could find some that are female only.
I just looked and I’ve found 3 ‘women preferred’ online meetings. I will add the link below as we know Jodie does read and if any other suffering gambler reading here needs support and would like to change too.

A lot of my crimes were throughly thought out, a big habit requires big money. She has been to prison, so theoretically has paid the price, like most of us. However, she has not recovered from her disease. So even if she is not gambling, she’s still insane, essentially unwell and WILL gamble again. I don’t mind people sharing their journey once recovered, or even the journey of recovery, going to meetings, going to therapy this and that. But it seems TikTok has become another habit, it’s not benefitting her or anyone else that has her problem. The same with these drug addiction recovery accounts. So, so dangerous and misinformed.
