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.

You don’t need to prove yourself or your explain your job to people in AA. What people think of us is none of our business.

I got sober in 2006 in NYC before I moved out here and faced the same thing back then. I’ll tell you what my sponsor told me then...take what you need and leave the rest.

What other people think of you is none of your business including the people in the program.
Go to meetings as much as you need to and when you get a year under your belt ... give back. You’re gonna be great!

Knowing what a treacherous industry we work in (before you protest, I know that’s not everyone, but you get my drift) would you want to be in a meeting surrounded by your peers, past, present and possibly future?
Tend to relate OP, but curious what others think.

I know in NY the lunchtime midtown meetings have lots of ad ppl just based on location, maybe there's an area in LA near a ton of agencies? Also, I second that it's no one's business to judge you. I hear you on the comradery tho, but definitely a nice to have to me.

Hey Fishes,

Joined LTI recently in P3 band. However not allocated any project. Got a call from the resource management team to relocate, which I rejected upfront as I was promised a role in the location I am posted. It has been over 2 weeks since I am in bench. What shall be the next steps, shall I wait for some days or start looking for other jobs as getting a project looks difficult as there are minimalist responses.

Just got a job offer but they are only giving me until Monday afternoon to decide. I'm currently in process at several other firms and the recruiter said they can't/won't give extensions. How bad is it for me to accept and then decline if I get another offer? The other companies would be paying 15-30k more and I feel like that's way too much to give up especially right out of school. I emailed the other companies I'm interviewing with to see if the process could be expedited and (1/2)

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?
