3.5 years sober. Just wrapped my third freelance gig in a row where unprompted nice things were said “you’re a righteous dude” “the voice of reason” “I love how you bring a sense of calm to the set” I used to be the one who showed up disappointed and nothing was good enough. Now I have a chance to bring stability and support. Match calamity with serenity. Lots of gratitude for the 12-steps and just want to say they work. For me, at least.

Hey Fishes,

Have anyone opted for extension in Wfh? How to apply for it? Did you get extension?

Oh nooo, one of my childhood friends is a Karen 🤦‍♀️

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭

How do you guys get your perm experience letters signed? My firm requires some specific experience on the letters. How have you navigated it? Specially with EY/Deloitte?

We flew back from Ireland today on Delta. Our connecting flight from JFK at 6:10 was cancelled while we were flying over the Atlantic Ocean, and we were rebooked on a 3:40 instead (2.5 hours earlier) but not notified. I received no email, text or app notification of the flight cancellation or the new flight we were placed on, so we missed it. They now cannot get us home tonight and won’t even guarantee they can get us home tomorrow, impacting my work, (cont)…

I am a proposal manager for federal consulting company. My base is low (112000) but I make up upto 50-70% of my base income with win bonuses. But I get the bonus only after the completion of one year of the base period of the contract. My question is -is this arrangement good or should I negotiate for higher base instead ?

Just interviewed for a job. Saw an old work friend in the lobby, and he shot me a message after we said hi, saying it’d be great to work in the same building again, "plus this new one has a bar.” 😣

8 years sober today! I love AA.

When I first got sober, I decided to take myself out of the game because I didn't trust myself. That was almost three years ago, I've been freelance since. Today is my first day back at an agency.

Merry Christmas! You made it. Keep your lips dry and your chin up.

Anyone read Quit Like a Women, by Holly Whitaker? Reading now and it’s making me consider extending dry January to 6 months, maybe a yr, or ever again...curious to hear if anyone else has read.

I’m beefing up my LinkedIn profile and was like, “Ugh. It’s SO NOT FAIR that I can’t add my time doing service and working w sponsees in AA under Volunteers Experience!”#nohumility #willkeepcomingbac

I have 4 years on Saturday and will be in LA! Any meeting reccos near Korea town?

Going into my first weekend sober. Kind of nervous TBH. I know I can do because I've decided I'm going to do it, but I will definitely be feeling temptation. Wish me luck and share your coping strategies

Any meetings for ad people in la? I find no one really understands how we work in normal aa meetings. They find it suspect when I’m at work till 10pm every night for 3 weeks.

Hi! I had no idea this bowl existed until an Account Director at work told me about it today!!! I always thought I was the only sober one in this industry! Im so glad that there are more of you. 😅💓

Hey does anyone have suggestions for meetings in North Brooklyn/Williamsburg for a first timer ? Thanks so much in advance!

4 years today. #grateful #keepcomingback

Doing a new business "take potential new clients out for drinks" thing. Any advice on keeping my sobriety on the DL?

Chicago! What meetings near the loop should I hit?

How many meetings do you go to a weekend what's your time? I go to 2-4 and I have 15 years.

Sober and Vegan a year and 4 months now. Feeling great and more creative than ever

I’ve slowly started drinking less and less. And the less I’m drinking the more I realize just how much of my time revolved around alcohol. From going to get it, to drinking it to fighting hangovers. Now I realize I need something to fill all that time with. Especially now that I’m not spending all day saturday and sunday deathly hungover. I go for walks and run errands…but in a shock to me…there’s still a lot of time left. How did you start spending your time once you stopped drinking?

I can’t handle the networking thing sober.... I’ve been sober 4 years and I still find it incredibly difficult... also a young professional

Billing almost 70 hours a week with no end in sight and poor leadership. Struggling hard to hit meetings but still trying to check in w support. Any advice?
