Why did Emily rant about Spooky being some wild-child, free-spirit weirdo, just to admit that she just liked hot people. Basically, his personality was completely irrelevant and you wanted to fuck him because he looks hot. Spooky could have had any personality and the undertone of your description is that you want to fuck him. So why even bring up his personality if your motive is objectification?

Mad props for opening up like that Andrea, it's tough as heck to let yourself be that vulnerable but it helps others who feel the same way to know they aren't alone, which means you are a literal superhero when you really think about it.

Andrea and Emily are both such awesome people! Hot Mess has helped me realise I'm not alone in my messedness (some of which I'm ashamed about, others which I've always foind funny but it's nice knowing I'm not the only one doing it). I'm sure you've helped loads of others too, so you have something to be proud of. Keep doing what you think is best for yourself and ignore other people who don't "get" it. And keep being open about it too ��

Maybe they can't afford it.

Or maybe they didn’t bother to see if they can go for free cause they don’t really want to go.

Or maybe the therapy building burned down. Or maybe they’re on a work assignment in the Middle East. Or maybe the therapist in their town IS the rapist. Or maybe...

This month I had my 2 year anniversary in CoDA! Got another GOLDEN COIN and felt pretty darn good. Our meeting has been steadily getting bigger with more regulars so maybe the word is getting out somehow (maybe via this podcast?!?).

I've been to one ACA meeting I really liked but my work schedule/being fucking exhausted hasn't let me go back to it since. I do plan on going back tho.

I get the fear around becoming "That 12 Step" person, who only talks about recovery and the next meeting (neither Chemda or Andrea are like this at all. btw). I wanted to hang out with some people from my meeting in a regular setting without needing to have gone to a meeting beforehand. Everyone got so anxious and caught up in the details (that is to say they were acting fucking goofy) that we ended up just going to 2 meetings and getting food in one day. I dunno if they're addicted to it but they seemed a bit too desperate for it

hooray for selfhelp

Thank you, Andrea, for sharing so much of your life with us!!! The strength it must take for you to be so open is unfathomable to me (you're right, that pussy is strong). I have my own share of shit and have a voice in my head telling me I'm overreacting and am weak and that anyone else in my shoes would have been okay. It's comforting for me to hear you speak of similar experiences. I've been a supporter for a while but this episode guaranteed an Andrea Allan fan for life.

Great Show

I'm not a big forums person and I stopped using twitter. Incredible time today. Very moving. Take care of yourself.

Everyone ranted about Spooky being some wild-child, free-spirit weirdo you goofy fuck - Keith and Chemda most of all - why you singling out The Lubinator?

Sounds to me like someone has a little crush and got a little jealous hearing Emily talk about Spooky being a dimepiece.
