Oh my God I really want to eavesdrop There's no way to do it subtly in this case. The snippet of a conversation I just heard was
I don't drink no more water I mean maybe (then she does the sign with your hand that you do when you're talking about how someone drinks too much alcohol but you're trying to be kind of cagey about it) I mean maybe I still drink a little bit sometimes, (she indicates the rite aid that she's walking past, like they were her supplier.) but I used to drink a big ass thing of water (she gestures with her hands to indicate a large nalgene bottle size) because they told me I had to but now no more water no mas now I just... now I can...
and then I couldn't hear anymore oh boy I want to know.
Seems like she thought people had been lying to her about water. She figured out it was a conspiracy from big water. Her life is so much better now that she's not addicted anymore... To water. Now she can just enjoy it socially, it doesn't control her life anymore.
I'll bet you the story was how she'd be having fun with friends but then have to have a big glass of water with her meal to feel like "herself." And she'd miss out on important life events because she was always in the bathroom.
