Is it a sign to not leave yet if I’m hesitant to leave big law despite receiving offers at good companies? I am a junior associate that’s really burned out and yet I fear making the leap because of “missing” people I’ve worked with (who probably won’t remember me much) and all the hopes I had for myself when I first summered. But I also know this job has been extremely tough on my health and my family and I regretted it the first time I turned down an offer.

At what time, pregnancy should be disclosed to manager. Is there going to be any issue from management and manager side?

Hi all - I see myself starting to go down a path that I want to avoid. My issue is less frequency of drinking, more that if I’m out 3 drinks turns to 20. I’m not religious and would prefer a moderation program so I don’t lose the occasional glass of wine at dinner. Any recommendations?

Anyone else currently dealing with the fact that their job/project is exacerbating the deterioration of their mental health?

Does anyone knows if ROKU fire sticks work with a regular smart TV? I have a hisense UHD 4K so wanted to check..

Can’t find the post for best under desk treadmill. :( pls share your favorite one.

Has anyone heard of protheragen? Is it legit?

Wish apps like BetterHelp were free. I can’t afford healthcare or therapy (I’m unemployed, and yes, I’ve tried seeking pro bono therapy options — no place anywhere nearby offers it.) I really need a therapist I can talk to on at least a weekly basis to just unpack so much that’s bogging me down to the point of being unable to function some days, but it’s just so cost prohibitive! What sucks is everyone assumes this career hands you median wages on a platter but I’m worse off than I’ve ever been.

How do you look after your sore feet after standing all day? I think my age is starting to catch up with me.

I think I need to see a therapist because I actually miss the Firm now.

Just starting third trimester and my nausea has come back (vomiting multiple times in recent days) - has that happened to anyone else around this time? Normal for 3rd tri?

So glad that I have a job and have something to do.

Read a quote that messed me up today after a week of on-site client and all hands work; “better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.”

It’s a mixture of existentialism and identity crisis juggled almost weekly. It hasn’t stopped since I left 7 years ago, though it pops up less; shows when I’m telling some CFO how much money he has to spend.

Just dropping this to say that you’ve got this, and you’re better as a warrior at peace than someone whose never known a fight. RLTW

Growth Marketing or Program Management? Which career path would be the most diverse, fulfilling, and creative?

Downloaded the “Days” app. No frills, no extras. Just a number staring you in the face. I’ve made it almost habitual to open and check... even multiple times a day when I know the day counter hasn’t changed, but it’s helping and encouraging. Each day is a sense of accomplishment and a win over the pull of my own thoughts. Forcing my willpower into further restraint. 10 days strong so far.

Push for partner or take a few months off and push for sobriety and risk it all?

Any tips on staying centered and productive in our industry while in program? I’m finding the emotional rawness required from program (especially as I work through steps 4 and 5) is making me very self conscious of my impacts on others and I feel like it’s affecting my ability to be a good leader because I’m so in my own head

Problem gambler here having to deal with multiple payday loans. Does anyone have any advice on how to handle? Been in a situation with pay day loans in the past? Any guidance would be great.

I’ve been sober about 14 months, and now with things opening up more I’ve been going out to dinner, concerts etc with friends. I’ve been finding it hard to have fun, or not get restless while out. I think a large part of this is maybe I find the company around me boring? and they’re also all drinking. Maybe I just needed to write that out and vent to say, I’m bored! Maybe saying that out loud will help me get out of my comfort zone to find new activities that change my outlook.

Hi everyone! I’m new here. 217 days sober. I quit on September 11, 2021. I never thought I had an issue until I started lying to my friends and family about my consumption. I would take off work to drink all day and go home drunk, thinking I could play it cool and no one would notice. This has been very hard and very rewarding. If anyone is sober curious or even having a hard time with sobriety, something that really helped me is the reframe app. Be kind to yourselves!

I’m studying addiction psychology and I’m curious what treatments you all have personally found to be most effective (eg types of therapies, 12 step programs, rehabs, detoxes, spiritual practices etc)

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but reach out to your sponsor. They’ll appreciate it. :)

I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who shares in this group. It truly helps me stay sober. I am approaching 12 months sober but have been struggling lately. While I have not relapsed, I’ve been close. Normally, before I get out of bed, I write down my reason to stat sober for the day, but lately the reasons have been lousy at best. But reading about everyone’s struggles and successes has helped get me through this past month. So thank you all for the inspiration to keep going strong!

Amazing feeling waking up the Monday after Super Bowl and not being hungover like past years. Thank you all for the support in this bowl!

I’ve already had cervical cancer (last year) and have been cancer free. Now have a hormone replacement specialist I have to see annually. Yesterday was the visit and she randomly decided to do a breast exam and found a lump. Couldn’t get me in for a diagnostic mammogram until next week. Came home and relapsed - it was not a full-on bender but I drank. How do I not beat myself up and just get up and keep going? Alcohol is the WORST thing for any cancer esp breast cancer. WTF is wrong with me!?

Has anyone had success reducing or getting off stimulants? I been on vyvanse for 10 years and now at a pretty high dose (60mg). I feel fine when I take 60mg but my concern is if I don’t take that much I feel barely functional and I don’t want to go any higher in future years. Not taking on weekends basically requires me to just lay in bed all weekend.

I've struggled with excess for as long as alcohol has been a part of my life. I'm at a low point after having too much on Sunday, being unproductive on Monday, and barely sleeping. It's this moment that makes me want to finally change. But I know when I'm feeling better, I'll think I can do this all again and next time it'll be fine. I've read tips here for being better and will try my hardest. Tia for listening.

13 years, 3months and 21 days! Its not been easy, but definately can be accomplished! Hard work, GOD a a desire to change, and not in that order!

not alcohol/drugs related but more so to do with p*rn addiction. i have struggled for years with this and I am currently making a lot of progress. I started to make real progress once I started telling people (fiance, counsellor, pastor, etc).

I really don't think it should just be considered a religious thing since it effects the brain a lot and can obviously hurt your relationship. Wanted to see if others also struggle with this and are open to sharing.

I’m in constant chronic pain and considering kratom but I hear it is addictive and damaging. Has anyone had experience with it?
