This made me cry tonight on the show. Jill came so far. I have a lifestyle close to Jill's in regard to the money but I have a career that brought it. I fell due to addiction some years back and it put me in a horrible place not financially but it's a hard truth that money does not fix a damaged inner you. It took me awhile to realize I needed that fall, it really is the journey. I've loved Jill's journey especially when they did the 'fat' storyline (I know Jaime was pregnant) and getting thin but then relapsing to drinking. I have a fall back addiction to exercise. Work and the pandemic and the world has actually limited my exercise so I've let it and not found work arounds. I'm happy the show let Jill laugh and enjoy life and realize it wasn't a waste. I'm grateful the writers gave Jill a heart. I never went to a rehab as nice as the rehab she did.
To notice 1s own flaws is 1st to any recovery as that is what usually makes us turn to any type of an addictive behavior! Stay strong my fellow recovering friend ! Glad u made Yourself a Successful woman! & I never had $to say I would make someone happier but enough love & support is True inner wealth that's most important along w inner growth & Sounds as you may have both ❣️
@@chrishouston3566 no. I came to say that it doesn't matter money or not, addiction destroys. It destroyed my life and everything I built. Professional and personal relationships. I made my career. Jill comes from money. The whole point to Mom was that it was real. I still struggle every day. I think about something as simple as a cold beer on a couple of recent really warm days we had. I added an extra mile to my run for each of those beers. And I had a raging drug addiction and recently watched a couple of movies where my drug was the drug of choice for everyone and I had to turn it off. Jill and I have an addictive personality, like Christy and I. I follow the shopping addiction, I have closets full of sheets and duvets, and towels, I have an exercise addiction in which I will run til I puke and I'm constantly doing ab exercises. I also have Christy's addiction to gambling. Poker is my game. I don't drink or do drugs when I play but I can play for shifts so long the pit boss will check on me for my health. I would switch from addiction to addiction and I never thought no one could be like this. The unfortunate part was I had the money to support it and I was a highly functional addict. When Christy said she never thought she could be so broken when she went into GA, I cried not necessarily for me but for everyone else that was like me because I know the pain, chasing such an elusive high. I still watch Mom reruns and I'm not using drugs and alcohol or shopping or gambling but I do run and follow a strict diet (like Jill a lick of frosting is too much hot yoga) because I use it as a control of my life. Everything else can be a mess but I have healthy ways to deal with it, I'll eat carrot sticks. The thing about money and recovery; you're just a rich addict in recovery, no passes. The whole picture and I see what I did and what a waste. I'll always be repentant and I'll never forgive myself. If it's any business of yours, I do pour my money into charity anonymously so no thank you or credit comes my way. I've done this all my life as I believe you should ease the suffering of those that can't help themselves.
This was the most beautiful moment...had me crying...have always loved Jill & Andy together, just a tender & sweet moment between two lovely people...Jamie and Will are just great performers, love them...I really think its a mistake to cancel the show, even without Christy, there are so many great stories to tell about all the others - the show would just 'shift' focus, just the way our lives do (with even our loved ones moving in and out of our lives, and one day maybe (with Christy) coming back in....)
I know that this is just a television program, but I totally agree with Tammy, lying is definitely wrong! Once you lie you eventually have to tell another one to cover the first one...🤔
