Now that you said that, I think I might agree... I mean looking at it now it's obvious she's exaggerating the quantities of alcohol and pills. The way she talks about it seems like she's bragging about it, trying to impress you with how horribly severely she was addicted, so please gawk at her tragic life. And the more severe her addiction, the more awesome strong warrior she is for having overcome it, of course.
And obviously there is no way she has overcome any addiction, just based on her mentioned flagrant personality disorder and complete lack of any self-awareness.
Addicts tend to instinctively minimize/hide the extent of their usage or at least exhibit some appropriate amount of shame about it, rather than flaunting it for attention like that. So it doesn't make sense to me for her to be talking about her drug and alcohol use like she does. Her shopping habits, though, she does seem to try to minimize, so that probably is her central problem.
And I mean either
a) she is minimizing her usage and has been taking care of a small child while drinking far more than 122 units per week, which is more than 17 units of alcohol daily or
b) is willing to lie for attention about having taken care of a small child while drinking 17 units of alcohol daily, not feeling an ounce of the crushing shame that any other person would experience if other people thought they had done that.
Which are both incredibly terrible and also make her my new favorite cow. I think she may have a brand new personality disorder that no one's discovered yet.
