Now I'm not part of AA and I'm not familiar with 12 steps but her "advice" to the woman who hopefully doesn't exist because wow, is screaming Jack doesn't engage with therapy.

My jaw hit the floor at her inserting and centering herself in her own damn advice but on top of that, it's crappy advice. To blame it on your brain is to absolve yourself of all blame and accountability (speaking generally, obviously it is difficult to control intrusive thoughts and we should not blame the person experiencing them for having them). However, there is benefit in acknowledging they are YOUR thoughts. It isn't something that is "happening" to you outside of your control. It is something you are experiencing and unfortunately it is a part of you. Acknowledging that is crucial for addressing it.

But that's Jack all through. Always with the external. Nothing is ever her fault and she will never take accountability for that. Instead she's going to throw a useless "funny" metaphor at this woman rather than offer any actual support.

The fact she's inserted herself into it to enable that crappy attitude shouldn't be surprising any more but it is profoundly crappy. Isn't taking responsibility the whole point of AA? I really hope she isn't offering advice to others because she is not suitable for this.
 
Sharing that message is vile, as is violating that woman's confidence and privacy. She had to do so to provide context for her disgusting reply. Did this person consent to having the fact that her head's being a head spewed on twitter?

tit advice and wtf is funny here? Selfish narc bleep

She blatantly never read The Body Keeps the Score if this is her level of "advice". She's a danger to others.
 
Am a little late for my take on this (am I Jack?) But I think the hoover chewing by Content is my aneurism. Of course being cross breeds they can have traits that are stronger from either parent but in general they are known to be a 'breed' that isn't destructive. The golden retriever side means they are typically v gentle with their mouths, and the intelligence of the poodle means they should be v easy to train bad behaviour out of. Mine is too intelligent for her own good at times (for example we keep having to move where we store her treats as she will hunt them down and try and break into the drawer/cupboard) so they do require commitment to training. The fact that Content is chewing through wires (if true and not just a 'witty' anecdote for twitter) means she must be incredibly bored and no effort is going into her training. Shouldn't be surprised tbh. They are big boisterous dogs, if she doesn't get the training in Content is going to be a nightmare with hyperactivity, jumping up etc which just isn't fair on others who come into contact with her - or fair on the dog!

This means she's either:
A) taken a private message she sent to someone from AA, which the recipient hasn't even seen yet and splashed it all over the internet within 2 minutes of sending it
B) been texting herself on her two phones pretending to have friends.

I'll let you decide which of the equally depressing options you want to go with.

As it took less than a minute for her to type that reply I’d go with option B….
(Apologies if it’s already been said)
 
If I were involved in Alcoholics Anonymous I would serve her a cease and desist. She does the organisation reputational damage in my opinion.

Do we think she is on the Trussel Trust payroll in some way? We know she does nothing unless there is something in it for herself and I know that she uses them as a deflection shield -a cloak of respectability so to speak, but could she also be paid by them as a “consultant”?

Either way - both organisations can get in the bin for me. Like other people that give her coin, they lose credibility the minute their name is in her mouth.

Jack Monroe #388 Even @3ssex Police are laughing at her

So did my dad. My mum and him both went through whatever we needed to make sure we got whatever education/ suupport we needed to get where we wanted to be. Really highlights how many bridges Jack has burnt with family, doesn't it? Dunno much about her mum's side so won't comment but Big Dave's...

Nah, she'd be bragging and shoving the word consultant in her bio.

Regarding gofundme, I was under the impression that donations for fundraisers where the recipient is listed as an actual charity sit in the gofundme pot so wouldn't be sat in Jack's accounts. That said I think she has to do something on her end to close the fundraiser and send the money (and she should give an update). She could send it in increments so it's possible some went. Her lack of transparency is appalling to be honest. She should be rectifying it immediately before she gets in actual legal trouble. With teemill I genuinely believe she can't evidence the donations because they didn't happen and the money is long gone or mixed into her own bank account. But shutting down the gofundmes with evidence should be easy as that should be separate.

Sometimes at work, if you don't do an important task within a crucial timescale, it becomes harder to bring yourself to do it, especially if nobody noticed it addressed the fact if wasn't done. To rectify it you have to a) address the fact you fucked up and b) explain yourself. I think this is how she's let these things and the patreon slide. It probably is constantly gnawing in the back of her mind. She needs intervention to right her wrongs because she doesn't have the integrity to do it herself.

There is literally no reason for her to have shared what should have been a private message. I've supported a number of women in recovery and I've never felt the need to share a message publicly. The only time I have shared a message is once, with my own sponsor only, because I had no clue how to respond.

I think this might be my aneurysm. Or AAneurysm if you will. I was grunking thread #31 when she posted that egregious breach of confidentiality on Twatter last night. Took this snip from thread #31. Jack has clearly learned NOTHING in the Rooms.

‘One of the women i’m supporting‘ belongs in the folder with behind the scenes work with prisons, the tour of the UK’s 20 most deprived regions and rural Scottish communities. It’s bollocks. She’s not supporting multiple women, she can’t even support her own kid.

I live in a deprived region of the UK, there's a lot of generational unemployment, and poor health in my area, though not for myself fortunately. ( for context, I live in a council property for the last 4 years and am working full time, and reasonably paid as well - housed by the council due to home repossession due to my poor money management at that time - debts all paid off but unable to get a mortgage) Not once, in any of the shops, flyers, local council/ community websites etc, have I ever seen anything to do with Jack Monroe helping out. Nothing about her had been mentioned. It's all bullshit...as is most of the stuff she says she does.
 
That driving analogy is so poor , if I were seeking support for poor mental health and addiction issues that would make me feel isolated and misunderstood.
Especially if I were vulnerable and this came from a celebrity fellow addict with a responsible position within our aa group and probably seen as an expert to some due to her fat gob and the power imbalance.
People in these scenarios make poor decisions, sometimes dangerous decisions, risk to self is huge.
Imagine if something serious happened and the last cry for help resulted in that trite pointless nonsensical over egged analogy?
jack has really abused her position here and hugely disrespected that woman , her fellow aa-ers plus anyone who's ever come to her for help.

She doesn't even drive so why is she using driving as an illustration for something she likely doesnt understand?
Didn't she say backalong she does the twelve steps due to eating disorder?
I dont know how serious her ed is/ was but i worry she is not experienced enough to support people who have complex addiction issues.
I believe a big part of the reason she goes to so many meetings is for the attention and company and to exercise her larynx.

Another day, another 🧵

Well on Twitter she snipped and she sniped and her followers went downView attachment 1574364 q

As usual, a (delete as appropriate) Jaccident/ convenient sudden illness happened right before her work events
View attachment 1574365 q

But she powered through with one of her disgusting concoctions taking the credit. Recipe incoming, she threatens!

One squig recommended a litre of hot slimy onion juice and we all heaved and hooted.

Before bed she's had herself a little nighttweet

it is like Jack wrote something she thought was so awesome that she had to think of an excuse to share it.

maybe she is hoping it will go viral like spoonies,.

A or B notwithstanding, and both are bleeping awful, but looking at the ‘advice’ generally this easily could be the result of asking the question: Siri, show me a narcissist assuming the role of therapist…

Just imagine that poor person, struggling and attending AA meetings, and having the added ball-ache of receiving this self-indulgent shite from a chancer like Monroe.

Fingers crossed then that it’s A, and that it’s all just part of Monroe’s fantasy world, rather than her actually inflicting her nonsense on a vulnerable person.
