After nearly 4 years of struggling with addiction, I stay clean for one day, everyday, for 9 years. I remember the wreck I used to be and I need to be a good example for my daughter.

I just started meds yesterday and the change in my focus and attention to detail is mind blowing. My only concern is, just yesterday I had a tough feedback session with my manager around how I’m taking too long to complete my work, giving them anxiety around close deadlines. I’m new in the job (3 months in). Should I explain anything about my adhd to my manager or just wait for them to notice the change in me?

Anyone know of dance classes (any style) in DC? Looking to learn a little bit of dancing and mainly get a good workout :)

How many of you are actually looking for a relationship or have accepted being single forever?

I feel so guilty for not always modeling good health. Anybody else feel that way?

My firm does a firm wide attorney retreat/meeting this summer. I’ll be about 25 weeks pregnant and I have to fly there with my local team/office. I’m very, very nervous about getting COVID while pregnant and I work with people who are generally lax around Covid to begin with. What would you do? Context: pretty much 100% attendance at the meeting. I’m nervous about flying AND the meeting itself.

Would be nice if the Government legalized marijuana (including for Feds) during this lockdown. Allegedly it is quite effective at making boring things interesting.

My wife's an artist and I'm an engineer, so I guess opposites really do attract sometimes

Just got diagnosed at 24. I’m always a little weary of taking new medicines as I have dealt with increased anxiety the past two years. How do low doses of vyvanse make you feel? Does your heart race by a lot?

Tell me about your wellness/glow-up routine. I need fun ideas to be inspired to live healthier.

I might have a spending problem. I don’t think (?) I have a full blown addiction, but I’m cleaning out my closet and finding stuff that is few years old, still with the tags on, and lots of duplicates. I get a dopamine hit when I find a good deal and I’m wondering if it’s going too far. I can pay my bills, but I’m wasting a lot of $$ on things I don’t need. I have multiple family members who are/were addicts and hoarders and my own behavior is making me nervous. Any other big shoppers out there?

SO wants to leave a job <1yr in and go back to old firm (left on very good terms after being there for 4 yrs) Is this a bad idea?

I know I'm only a first year and I'll understand things in time, but it bothers me when I can complete an entire return correctly EXCEPT for the M-3. I always struggle with it on every return I do.

Does anyone use a tablet? I am looking for recommendations.

How is your relationship with resident physicians?

A&M folks, how good (or not) are your health / dental/ vision benefits ? How much are out-of-pocket expenses for families? Also how is the 401(k) match?

Serious question—when you are asked to stay at the office to wait for an email from opposing counsel (that never arrived), what is the time entry narrative? I completed no other work during this time because it was the middle of the night and I was tired

Maybe a noob Q - When does it make sense to take a pay cut when changing companies? I'm a Producer/PM trying to decide if I should jump to a smaller, lesser-known company (COLOR) for more money but fewer benefits than my current job, or with TeamOne for a slight pay cut but more benefits than my current job or COLOR. In reading through forums, the pattern seems to be getting pay raises in jumping between companies >.< What do you consider?

Any insight or advice is beyond appreciated!!

You message someone on Okcupid and they like you back but never reply to your initial message. Hasn’t been the first time it’s happened either. I know conversation-less matches on tinder are a thing..

Ugh was doing so well. Hit 30 days no booze then went out of town for thanksgiving and it’s like I never stopped at all. Back slid immediately right back to pouring the drinks into my yeti by 10am. Yay family. Hoping I can refocus and slide back into sobriety when im back home.

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!

I got a dui under the influence of alcohol a few months ago and fighting the case with my attorney. However, I am in the job market and afraid if I get an offer this will show up in my background check. How do I explain this to my potential employer if asked?

Trying to break my "It is 5 p.m." nightly drink habit. Got ideas?

1st of all: I’m super inspired by this bowl. I’m now mid-30s and recently went 50+ days without drinking and felt good/productive. (Longest streak since before turning 21) But how do you stick with it? I’m conflicted bc I haven’t hit a “rock bottom” and part of me loves a glass of wine to unwind and mark the end of the workday, but I also have a hard time stopping once I start (no such thing as 1 glass). Feel boarder-line between these 2 worlds and unsure where to go. Anyone feel similar?

It's that time...🦃

What's one thing you're grateful for in your sobriety journey at the moment?

Drop it below! 👇

This past Wednesday (the 24th), was 3 years of sobriety for me.

In 15 years of weekend binge/blackout drinking, NEVER had I gone more than 3 weeks without a drink (typically never more than 1 weekend without a drink), and now my sobriety is counted in years (though still one day at a time).

I am beyond grateful and I know that this is something I could never do on my own.
🙏 ❤️

I’ve been sober for a few months and there are a few cocktail parties coming up at work. It’s “encouraged” to attend. Any advice? I have been to a couple backyard parties over the summer where I was around alcohol but I was mostly among friends. This is going to be different. Anyone else ever have a situation like this? Any advice is appreciated.

Looking for motivation to get me to my first Alcohol rehab appointment.

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.

Is Al Anon really helpful for spouses/children affected by alcoholism or other addictions? Does anyone have insight on this

Sober Sunday check in ... how is everyone doing?

Hi all. First time posting and I could really use some guidance and help. I’m at a point that I need/want to stop drinking permanently. (Continued below)

Today was day 3 without Adderall (1st work day) & I felt extremely tired and sleepy all day. Any ideas on how to make my detox go easier? My 1 cup of Starbucks cold brew was useless lol

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!

Sibling is 52 days sober from heroin/cocaine, but I just found a syringe and alcohol wipes under their pillow.

They have been passing observed urine tests, how is it possible that they’re using? Any ideas?

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

I left my last job because I didn't appreciate the culture (B4). However, it was probably because I was a terrible employee. However, I do find that my clients love me 10x more than my consulting colleagues. I joined a smaller firm to cover up the problem.

I drink during the day. I know it's the main reason for my ability to be a productive employee. Anyone else deal with this? I'm trying to control it through moderation management, Dharma meetings, therapy, and white knuckling.
