What an honest post. Your strength is really admirable. Makes John look even more of a joke. I hope you have a lovely Christmas. You’ve no doubt earned it. Recovering addicts are the strongest people.
John is absolutely still drinking. Reviews from the past few months talk about receiving drunken abuse and emails etc
Thank you. Yours and someone else’s post made me cry lol. There is a massive difference between not drinking and sobriety and frankly, it’s
bleeping hard but not drinking is just the very start of it.
Where can I find these emails etc that he’s sent people? Doesn’t shock me at all, there are many times where I’ve thought he was drinking and I’d do that - try and blah when it’s fairly obvious. Nothing more manipulative than a drinking alcoholic.
I was thinking - we saw the suitcases which gave the impression that she was staying with him but it was never explicitly stated. Maybe she was going elsewhere? It’s a classic JC move of suggestion rather than fact.
Aside from all the other red flags, it’s a MASSIVE one for me when someone continues to just randomly slag off their ex, particularly for no real reason and for petty things like failing a 75 hard, eyebrows etc. He is so bitter she finally life, narcissists cannot stand to be left. He’s raging.
He came up on my tiktok live yesterday and it was really sad. Limited numbers and engagement and he just came across as being on there because he has no one else to talk to. My sympathy went quickly once he started talking - classic JC flip flop of slagging off drug takers then going back on it, someone pointing alcohol kills more than anything, him suggesting people just stop which as someone has pointed out further along, is incredibly dangerous.
He reminds me of me when I was drinking - self righteous, arrogant, giving it the big one and finding ways of thinking I’m better than people. I’m not arsed how he wants to live his life but stop giving
tit and abusive “advice”‘and rants to people when you are fucked.
As for the 75 hard - it’s meant to really be a challenge and a reset. It’s based on extreme discipline and responsibility, two things he struggles with in moderation let alone anything else, not to be used as a tool where you sit on your arse all day and then try and hammer it all in one.
The rules are
1. Daily pictures - we have seen no evidence of this
2. 10 pages daily - we have only really seen repeated reads of Atomic Habits - suspiciously around the time he was designing his own habit changing app
or whatever the
duck he’s decided the app is today
3. A gallon of water. Just water, not copious energy drinks
4. Following any diet but strictly including no takeaways - we know he’s failed this one
5. 2 x 45 minute workouts daily, one must be outside - as far as I can see, it’s mostly dog walks of an evening and the occasional gym visit
By any stretch, he has failed this. It’s a hard thing to do and I’d be less bothered about pointing it out if he wasn’t using it as a stick to beat Charlotte with and go on about how much better he is than his followers.
He seems to actively despise his followers which is like a reflection of how he really feels about himself.
I would have more respect if he came out and said look, I’m fucked/been drinking but that would require a level of self honesty I don’t think he possesses.
I can only assume that someone was right in their assertion that he was left money by Frank because I don’t see how he is making a living off what he does. Those “sold out” Tupperware/books/app don’t appear to be shifting from the garage do they.
