I really appreciate Katya’s openness at the end. Speaking to what she was talking about, it’s an important reminder that just because people may see someone as an inspiration, doesn’t mean they ever asked for the responsibility of being a role model. I wish everyone could be a fan without crossing boundaries just because they relate to the person they look up to. People live their lives for themselves, I hope everyone can respect that ❤️

[@theoriginal1971]

“Just because people may see someone as an insipiration, doesn’t mean they ever asked for responsibility of being a role model” PREACH THANK YOU!!!! Let’s not impose respnsibilities on people that they didn’t promise! They could be struggling to make themselves keep going.

OH my lord feeling the depression Katya spoke on about people not respecting boundaries around substances and alcohol. My partner was an alcoholic ( 4 years sober so far) and the WORST people for us to deal with were his wine and beer loving family. It was always " Oh its just a sip" or "Oh its just one glass". It's not a joke, a phase, or just a fun choice for a month...this is LIFE OR DEATH PEOPLE.

[@AVspectre]

I agree - it’s like they somehow can’t enjoy themselves if everyone’s not participating. It’s like - that’s a you-problem. Let people abstain from things. If you card for them, respect their choices - especially when the stakes can be so high.

[@Satanhadapoint]

Hope your brother sticks with it. Recovery is hard but it can come with unimaginable successes

[@heavenwaits]

recovery is lifelong - i’ve seen family members i thought would never be stable again pull themselves together and end up doing even better than they were before! wishing your brother all the best and i hope you and your family are taking care of yourselves, it’s hard work to support someone dealing with a disease like this and easy to neglect yourself. you are so kind and i hope your brother knows how fortunate he is to have someone so supportive cheering him on!

[@Genderanarchy]

@@coffeeonzeeteleSimone Biles…. METH!

[@anne57256]

From NPR, last year: "A separate study published by the CDC and the National Institute on Drug Abuse in 2020 found 3 out of 4 people who experience addiction eventually recover. ... Life after addiction isn't just possible. It's the norm." 75%. We do recover.

[@AVspectre]

This is a great stat. I didn’t know it. Bonus points for citation!

[@xVibra]

Inverse that statistic, and it explains why Katya said it's quite bleak. 1 out of 4 addicts do not recover. You have 4 drug addicted pairs of parents, and now there's 1 pair that never recovers for their kids. Now those people don't become grandparents because of it, and that's if they're lucky enough to keep their kids, let alone have a good relationship with them. It's why it's important to take it seriously, and not complacently believe "it gets better," or that "you could quit at anytime," or "this is the last time." When you break an arm you don't just put off going to the doctor, because it's not going to kill you to just put up with it. You have to take it seriously for other addicts, because sometimes they're incapable of seeing it for themselves. It _can_ get better, but it's not going to happen until you take action to change things for yourself or for those you care about. It's certainly not easy, but it doesn't help to not think you could be that 1 in 4.

[@AVspectre]

@@xVibra Excellent addition - thanks!

[@alexNcompany]

I really appreciate Katya’s point about wishing to have remained anonymous - it just hit home. Not in AA, but there is truth to when you share your struggles with others especially in a public space it easily becomes apart of the public discourse and who would want anything so close to them to be that? Even if it’s helpful to some, it can be helpful in the longer run to yourself. If you watch reality tv stars who have branch out a lot of them share similar regrets. It’s something I think more and more of us will have to think about as the internet and broadcasting oneself becomes more and more common place. It’s not all negative but there is unfortunately no “taking back it.”

[@DaniL731]

I actually decided I wouldn’t film at concerts anymore a couple years ago. Best decision ever. Just be in the moment. A couple pictures, yes. But videos? No. So much better to be in the moment.

[@millie2090]

Thanks for talking about and being faithful to the traditions Katya! Always appreciate hearing about 12 step groups in a positive light ❤️

[@lauram5905]

I feel really bad that the idea of responsibility and role modelling made Katya regret talking about her recovery journey publicly. I know what she means, but all the times she shared her experiences over the years really helped me find context with my own issues, and understand others better. I really hope she finds peace with that again, because that's really what it's about, not burdening someone with expectations of perfection, but comisserating with them over the experience and process and gradually breaking the cycle of setbacks and progress. All anybody really wants is a little understanding and humanity, and I think that's what she brings to the table.

[@lauram5905]

Also if Katya does happen to read this somehow, I suggest listening to the Russian/Japanese artist ORIGA (RIP), who sang a lot of Russian songs for famous anime, the song inner universe is really nice for making Russian sound like a very juicy language to sing in

[@miekkavalas-5382e]

If it helped you, that's great. But she really shouldn't have to do things she doesn't want to. There's always things you could do to help others. You could donate most of your income to different charities and live off as little as you can. But you really shouldn't have to. It's not your fault you live in a capitalist system, and it's not her fault people have issues with drugs. So it's not her responsibility and shouldn't be.

[@werewolf1301]

​@@miekkavalas-5382eI don't think that's what OP is saying though. I think they're trying to provide a different spin on her burden of responsibility and show how expectations don't have to be there at all, even after her disclosure.
