It's really not. A drug addict, in recovery or not, knows the dangers of drug addiction by virtue of being a drug addict and would at least be speaking from a place of knowledge and honesty and would have something useful to pass on.
Helen Woods, on the other hand, sees herself as a 'concerned mother', and not a prime example of the type of social media behaviour she's warning others about and against.
Unless of course she's offering herself up to the kids as an example of how not to behave on social media? Yeah, that'll happen.
