She said it’s been 50 days of not drinking.

She reminds me Clemmie Telford , using sobriety as a means of engagement and brand deals.

Everh aspect of their lives is up for sale , nothing is private.

Here we go… The next bandwagon she’s jumping on for some sort of sympathy/engagement. She might use alcohol as a crutch, to help her relax in the evening but does she drink in the morning? Spend all her time wondering where her next drink is coming from? Prioritise drinking over all else? I don’t think so. Using the hashtag ‘alcoholic’ is an insult to those of us who have lived with or supported those with genuine alcohol dependence. Last year it was ‘oh look at me walking for my mental health’, few months later it was journaling and positive affirmations, peppered with ‘look at these pills I take for my mental health’. Now it’s ‘oh look at me I’m an alcoholic’. What next? An eating disorder?!

She jumped on this bandwagon whwn I first followed her a few years ago- how it almost ruined her relationship, she couldnt relate to people unless she was drinking, how inee glass led to more blah blah then after she started some other fad she soon forgot and casually mentioned she was drinking again she no longer had demons and then did several lives where she was pissed (quite entertaining actually 🤣) she is just so fake

I’m really angry about this. My partners mum is an alcoholic and we have been through hell with it. Using that hashtag is so offensive when quite clearly she is not. Lots of people have used alcohol as a crutch during lockdown, I know I was guilty of that, or turn to alcohol to relax or to socialise. I am all for cutting out alcohol and being healthier but don’t dress it up as anything other than that. Make the changes, good for you Cat, but please don’t use this as yet again more click bait.

The only times (generally speaking) that I’ve ever not gone to a social occasion and not drunk is when pregnant or having lost a designated driver coin toss to my husband. Doesn’t make me an alcoholic in any sense of the word and I absolutely refute any suggestion it might do.

sorry, which means that by suggesting you might have a problem doing the above minimises other people with a genuine illness and need for support.
But this is classic Cat creating a mountain out of a molehill in her life.
Anyway, give it 35 days and she’ll be back on it. 🧉🍻🥂

She held me for 15 minutes so you simply MUST follow her! 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮
Blimey these insta events have changed since I used to go to them 🤣 bet all the usual ones were there. Fairly sure they’ve all claimed “alcoholism” too at some point 🙄😡

I disagree with the doubting her problem with alcohol and being cynical about her choices to stop. For me, this is the line between reasonable gossip/discussion about influencers and sometimes when we descend in to something a bit uglier. Implying that you have to look/behave/be drinking a certain way/amount to be an alcoholic is one of the reasons lots of people with alcohol (and other substances) issues don't seek help sooner and continue to hurt themselves and others around them. Addiction is an illness and illnesses manifest differently, you wouldn't say to someone "oh you've only got a bit of cancer, no chemo for you." Yes alcoholism can look like you've wrecked your whole life and you're drinking all day everyday, but it can also not. And I say this as someone who is the child of a very stereotypical drug addict and inevitably we lost him to that when I was young. I commend her for recognising the issue and seeking help, and I'm always glad another child won't have to slowly lose a parent in that way.

Yes with you on this. Yes she’s v open about it (not necessary) but don’t think you call yourself an alcoholic lightly.

I think Cat likely does have a problem with alcohol, this isn't the first time she's mentioned giving it up. She wrote a blog about how she had done something quite dangerous whilst under the influence and put her children in jeopardy, iirc, and she gave up just after. However, this was shortlived, which is also indicative of having an issue with alcohol. I think it's fairly clear that a lot of her inability to parent/work/run a house comes down to drinking too much.

With regard to @Kiki13 and your post @431, you are absolutely right.

I don’t know about her alcohol issues and I was wrong to cast doubt by implying her #alcoholic hashtag was to do with her furthering her social media career.

I do think there are aspects of personal lives that don’t need to be revealed and I wonder why they feel compelled to overshare ; this is a case in point , her child’s bed wetting issues should also be off limits , what was she thinking?

I just cannot get my head around why such intimate aspects are willingly and happily put out there , not just NSSN btw.

Never seen this account before, now gone through her account i would say it’s highly likely she has a personality disorder

A small thing I noticed with this one was when they were all at the kids sleepover in the natural history museum , they posed for a shot & she had her “dancers leg and toe point” going on.. only a well trained one if that makes sense. From that and given her connections in the industry & general “in your face” personality & over sharing i guess she’s always wanted to be a performer and probably trained to be one.

I don’t normally comment on this thread but came to have a look after her latest stories. I have to say I actually do think she has a point with this one. If drinking is a problem for you the amounts, time of day etc isn’t really relevant. There are a huge amount of functional alcoholics who work and have families but they know deep down what they’re doing is destructive. I have plenty of other issues with influencer culture but on this one I’m glad she’s talking about it openly
