🚨 BREAKING: Last night's meeting ran 30 minutes over because of Debbie's share AGAIN! 🚨
Just For Today, Without Debbie's Endless Sharing
⏱️

Welcome to the 12-Step Meeting Survivors: Debbie Edition

Have you ever sat through a 12-step meeting where someone named Debbie monopolizes the entire share time? Where a 60-minute meeting becomes 90 minutes because Debbie has "just one more thing" to add? You're not alone. This coalition is dedicated to reclaiming our meeting time and supporting those affected by chronic over-sharing.

Disclaimer: This site is entirely satirical and not directed at any specific real person named Debbie. If your name is Debbie and you respect the meeting timer, we salute you! You're the exception that proves the rule.

Our 12 Steps to Dealing with Debbie

Founded in the aftermath of the Great Debbie Monologue of 2023 (a three-hour share about her cat's dietary preferences), our group has grown from a small support group to an international movement with thousands of recovery meeting attendees who have all had enough of Debbie's time-consuming shares.

Our mission is simple: preserve meeting time, support the traumatized, and develop healthy coping mechanisms for when Debbie inevitably says, "I'll keep it brief, but..."

Debbie's Most Common Meeting Violations

  • Prefaces every share with "I'll be brief" but speaks for 20+ minutes
  • Brings up completely unrelated trauma when it's not her turn to share
  • Says "one last thing" at least five times before actually finishing
  • Interrupts the meeting leader with "clarifying questions"
  • Tells her entire life story despite the 3-minute time limit
  • Brings coffee in a squeaky thermos that she opens during moments of silence
  • Cross-talks after every single person's share
  • Arrives 15 minutes late and still expects her full share time
  • Reads directly from her journal instead of summarizing her thoughts
  • Cries dramatically when the timekeeper shows the "one minute left" sign

Meeting Survivor Testimonials

"I was celebrating 6 months of clean time, but after Debbie's 45-minute share about her cat's anxiety medication, there were only two people left to hear my milestone announcement."
- Tom, 6 Months Clean
"I needed to pick up my kids from school, but Debbie's share about her 'spiritual awakening at the grocery store' ran so long that I missed pickup time. I had to call another parent to get them. Thanks, Debbie."
- Jessica, 3 Years in Recovery
"I only have a 30-minute lunch break, so I attend the noon meeting. Debbie knows this but still spent 25 minutes talking about how her grandmother's recipe for lasagna mirrors her recovery journey. I've been written up twice for returning late."
- Mark, Newcomer
