My name is Brook, i’m an alcoholic, drug addict and sex addict. I have 3 years of sobriety so have been on the app for a while now.
It’s come to my attention that some of the ads when using talking sober are for an app called Bigo Live. I’ve just had a provocafive ad come up where some girl talks about chatting to girls on the app if you are lonely. Not exactly something I am stoked about seeing as an addict.
Admins…can anyone let me know how this is happening and who signed off on this?
The ads are not controlled by Robin. I’ve actually asked this before. I think he can try and limit them but I’m not sure he’s able to. A few years ago I was upset that a really bad for profit rehab was advertising here.
Myself I don’t even pay attention to the ads all that much so I’m not sure what they are.
Thanks for your response. Yeah i mean i’d love to say i could just pass them off, but clearly for a sex addict its a trigger i’d rather not deal with. Next i’m gonna be seeing ads for Jameson and Dry come up
Telling an addict that the reason they are being triggered is their problem and they should do more work on themselves is nasty mate. This is meant to be a supportive place and you clearly are just on here to throw your weight around.
