ALT "They’re asking me to do all this stuff because I’m sober, but I’m actually not sober; I’ve been relapsing, so I’m just like cosplaying sobriety. I was living this crazy, hellish life where I was like social media sober. Meanwhile, people are still writing to me about Drunk Mom, saying it helped them get sober. And I was so happy for them, but I also had incredible shame over being a hypocrite." askasoberlady.substack.com
