Okay, but she still “had to come out of her shell” to audition, right?? And she beat out her rivals — in the first Act,.? So… mission accomplished?? What else is there for her to overcome, to struggle for?? She got the leads.

I realize there can be a lot of gallows humor in the recovery process, as anyone who has attended AA meetings where people routinely confess to all the foolish things they did while drunk and the “heroic” efforts to remain in denial of their problem.? But? I, too,? failed to see what’s so funny about the dramatic situation as presented in the logline.? It seemed more pathetic than humorous.
And like mikepedley85 said, happiness is a subjective goal and loglines are about objective goals.? And there are plenty of them available to a recovering alcholoic.? Like? building a new career after wrecking the old one,? Working through the AA 8th and 9th steps with all the people she has hurt including maybe her marriage partner and her children.? IOW: work out her subjective need through her struggle to attain a specific objective goal.
