Anyone else have dreams about drinking? Do the ever stop? I find them very upsetting/disturbing. (I’m 1 yr sober)

Can someone recommend affordable health insurance? I left the firm earlier and am expecting a gap of medical coverage until I find a job. Currently not actively seeking either...

Has anyone had a nurse state the assumed sex at 12 week ultrasound? The nurse is fairly sure it's a boy, and I'm wondering how accurate her guess is based on a close look of the genitals. Confirmation won't happen until 20 week appt, too far away!

Tip for anyone taking the CAIA exam, get UpperMark. Was using willey and was abt 1/2 complete and borrowed a friends test bank … night and day much harder and honestly was more like what I expected

Any good gyms in the West Village/Soho area (excluding Equinox)

Is it normal to sweat more heavily during workouts as you continue to lose weight and get healthier?

Who else is most definitely going to be hungover at the office tomorrow morning and regret that last drink?

Are gyms closed in DC?

Anyone dealt with early second trimester miscarriage with PGT normal embryos after FET? We transferred two AA normal embryos-- one was a blighted ovum and just lost the other early in second tri. If you have, what did you do differently the next time around for more success? Getting old and just crushed at losing both our normal embryos and 6-9 months.

Anybody had experience with 10mg Doxepin for sleep issues.

Anybody else in the banking sector and feel things have been so much more hectic since covid?

IFV recommendations in Boston anyone? A Reproductive Endocrinologist the most - but reccs on any and all members of a health team/other tips welcome. Wide and I are about to begin this journey =/

Does Next Gen issue a formal report for PGS testing results? I had my embryos tested and my clinic just told me which were normal and abnormal. No other info on embryos ratings, etc. they could have not even sent it in for all I know!
Also, how involved are you REs? I’ve been through 2 retrievals now, but feel kinda in the dark still on a lot of things. Some of the nurses are hit or miss and if I want to talk to my doctor I have to schedule a consultation and its typically a 2 week wait.

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide

I want to know whether the Medical Policy of 3 Lac which is given by the company by default in which along with me my immediate dependents like my spouse and children are covered or not?

I’m considering straightening my teeth. What are your experiences with Invisalign vs. Smile Direct vs. other options? Any big differentiators?

Anyway to slim down legs; just want to smooth out this massive imbalance that the body seems to favor to the downside

Facing problems with working memory and long term memory while you did good previously. Any supplements/ therapy for memory retention and increasing listening absorbing skills?

Any desi had success with any weight loss programs (e.g., Noom)? There’s a plethora of resources on food management etc. but not much that accounts for desi food habits. Any success or failure stories?

I just want to say that for the first time in my two years of public accounting, i had a manager call me just to see how my mental health was and to make sure that their stress wasnt adding to mine
And i just thought that was the nicest thing anyones done for me here and i want to encourage everyone to check in with their staff and not just their workflows

OMEGA INCREASED THEIR PRICES OH NOOOOOOOOOO

How much hike we can expect while promoting from SA to M level ?

Buy/lease now or defer to Q1-2023?

My car broke (engine seized, 10y old). I am interested in 530i ($62k price), however 3year lease is $1,000+ monthly (with $5k down). Monthly lesse payment is 50% more than bmw advertised offers (“south FL dealers are not participating in the program”)

Q to car gurus/experts- should I defer purchase/lease for 6 months? My logic, the impending recession will reduce demand and we will go back to more balanced market (lower prices with negotiation).

Feeling like I’ve been “bait-and-switched”…

I’ve been interviewing at an agency with the intention of filling a Director role. Recruitment reached out soon after my last meet-and-greet interview (about 6 to 7 people total) to tell me the team thinks I would be best suited for an Associate Director role with a fast follow of a Director promotion.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.

Will Coforge pay the variable as quoted ? If yes what’s the frequency of pay Like half yearly or annual?

Moving to the Bay Area this summer from chicago. Any recommendations for good luxury apartments in Palo Alto, Redwood City or Mountain View? Also how critical is it to have your own car? I live in downtown chicago currently where everything is walking distance

Any recommendations for where to get Botox done in the bay/SF? Looking to get it in the frown are, maybe the forehead

How does being a manager in audit compare to being a manager in deal advisory (AAS)? Nervous to make the switch of the unknown.

Hey Hey all. Can anyone help with a referral?

This might be a long shot but I'm looking for a volunteer who is trying to break into a federal career. Maybe a transitioning veteran, recent grad, or career-changer.

I'm pursuing my master career coaching cert and need to do a recorded 45-minute session. You don't have to be identified if you don't want to.

The single session is all I'm asking but could certainly turn into a longer lasting coaching relationship (at no cost), if you like.

Hey! Heading to LA later this week for work. Will be with the team most of the time but hoping to sneak out to a late night or early morning meeting. Any recs? Staying in DTLA. Thanks! ❤️

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.

Moving to SF Bay Area after 33 years in LA. Have built a solid NA framily and fellowship. I know I need to get connected to a new area of meetings right away, but antsy about the whole process.

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.

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

4 years next month

Today we had an agency talent show. Last year I MC’d it while slamming whiskeys between acts. I got great reviews for my on the fly wit. This year I was asked to do it again... (cont.)

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. 😅💓

One year today yay!

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.

If u have the addictive gene, Advertising is so easy to self destruct. Supporting each other is invaluable. Keep these posts going. It DOES get better. U can be sober in advertising.

Is there a group for people who aren’t alcoholics, but have issues drinking? Is it rude to go to AA if you aren’t totally dependent, but it is affecting you adversely?

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?

Chicago! What meetings near the loop should I hit?

Hope everyone is having a good sober holiday season. I survived my company holiday party. I have to say, the drinking looked fun. I mean, it is fun if you’re not a drunk like me.

Secretly glad October is coming to a close. I have two friends doing "Sober October" and I love them but it's insufferable. They keep saying things like "Ugh this is so hard, I don't know how you ...

Where are your favorite vacation spots? Getting used to this not drinking thing..

I'm moving to NYC in three weeks. Meeting suggestions in SoHo and midtown?

At an in-office happy hour I once had a coworker shout out loud that she doesn’t trust people who do not drink upon discovering I had OJ in my champagne glass. #rude #IdidntGiveAfuck
