Daily Reflection for January 19 "ROUND-THE-CLOCK FAITH
Faith has to work twenty-four hours a day in and through us, or we perish.
The essence of my spirituality, and my sobriety, rests on a round-the-clock faith in a Higher Power. I need to remember and rely on the higher power of my understanding as I pursue all of my daily activities. How comforting for me is the concept that my higher power works in and through people... Cont.

Anybody do Getaround or Turo on the side? If so, what has your experience been?

Do we have salary advance policies in the big 4s either in Indian or global offices?

Friend (no consulting experience) is considering an offer from Guidehouse (senior consultant as he has experience in federal health care): what’s the culture like? What about salary trajectory, is that standardized by level? Any pointer/red flags on culture and wlb? Exit opportunities? Anything would help, TIA!

ANY REVIEWS FOR HOMESTARS?

Thought on Empire Life? Interviewing for a process improvement leader position and seeing mixed reviews on low salary, career progression, and company culture. Hoping someone can give me some insight. Thanks!!

Hi fishes i received offer from legato but cognizant now revised notice period to 90 days will it be possible to get the change in joining date from legato side?

Every walkthrough that lasts longer than 2 hours makes me want to quit

Is making 10 times your initial salary in 25 years at the same company good progression? Started at 20k and making 210k.

Any in-house antitrust counsel willing to offer up some advice? I just started in a firm's well-regarded antitrust group. What do I do over the next few years to make myself most marketable to move in-house? And when is that move actually feasible/ideal for antitrust specialists?

Seems like I can pull work from the whole discipline (merger clearance, civil lit, criminal) — should I spread myself across all of it to maximize my skillset/marketability?

All thoughts and advice welcome. TYSM :)

Hi! I’m new to consulting & new to luxury fashion.
Would some of you share your favorite places for inspiration and ideas on new and vintage style?
And feel free to sprinkle in some favorite places you shop, entry level pieces for women, or advice in general!

Not legal-related but: thoughts on A Jazzman’s Blues? I loved it. Been a while since a movie has stayed on my mind long after it ended, like this one has. Shocking Tyler Perry wrote it. “Paper Airplanes” is a hauntingly beautiful song.

Going to visiting Vancouver to take a break from Toronto. Recos welcome for Vancouver area/Vancouver Island, or if anyone is down to meet up. Also if there are any meetup groups for hiking! Thanks

Hi Folks. I am a single and planning to move to Seattle. Need some recommendation if 130k is good enough to live comfortably in Seattle.

Does someone have a good punch list of things to do before giving notice at a firm?

Really like an apartment 5 min walking of Times Square. Any pros / cons of living in that area?

Iqvia was famous to give single digit (4-5%) increment. Is it still the same case? Or things have improved to 12-14%? Based on performance and other factors for sure.

Hi everyone.
I had 15 years experience in AP and AR. Refer me some good company jobs in Noida only. In salary range 20 to 25 lakh

Hi. So grateful for this bowl! I’m 16 months sober. Fairly new to ACN just curious what types of challenges you’ve faced and how you’ve overcome them?

Pause. Breathe. Proceed.

Has anyone ever messed up at a company party because of alcohol?

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.

I started working for a bank and am going through the background check. They found an arrest which was dismissed and the file was sealed a few days after the check. They’re requesting the police report on top of the court order to seal. The police report is BAD. During the arrest (DUI) they wrote the report to make me seem like a complete lunatic. Embellished on several elements of the case. I am worried that giving them this report will cause me to be let go.

For everyone in recovery, please reach out and stay in touch with your people. Isolation is a killer.

Anyone have a friend or family member suffer from liver damage / failure? Not sure how or what to do to help someone with the problem.

I went to the lease this last weekend. Not one drop of alcohol was had. That was the closest I’ve come to caving. 4 wheelers, killing dinner with big guns, doing manly things in God’s country. Beer is an absolute necessity during these events. Anyhow, I didn’t drink. Proud of myself. Monumental moment for me.

Any recommendations for group therapists in NYC??

About to go on in person retreat and have struggled with my sobriety a lot. It’s better but not perfect and part of the reason I stay sober is the support of my partner. Would it be viewed as unacceptable if I brought my family with me?

I messed ups no need help. Idk where to turn.

Had a really bad day 😞 I don’t know why I keep doing this to myself. Things will be going well and then out of nowhere I get blackout drunk. I am tired of feeling sick and anxious from drinking. I don’t really even want to drink sometimes but do it anyway. Blacked out last night, and still feel sick now. I’ve never shared with anyone that I have this problem, until I found this message board. I have so much anxiety that I won’t be able to get this under control. I feel isolated and sad.

I told myself I wasn’t going to do it. Re-assured myself I wasn’t going to do it. Told myself you’d know what would happen and still ended up gambling away a bunch of money I know I couldn’t blow. I don’t understand.

Have any of you found it worthwhile to think about why you are an addict? Care to share?

Went for a pre-employment drug test yesterday. They never asked me if I was on any medications. I had to ask them and was told "oh yeah, just put any you may think make a difference in this text box." I put Xanax, Flexeril, and gabapentin. All of which are prescribed and used as directed. Now I'm terrified that I should have put ALL my meds, to including my psych meds. I've been sober over 12 years and never touched drugs (just booze) but I'm having a full blown panic attack.

Has anyone tried using Kratom to help with an addiction to opiates? Does Kratom itself get addictive if you start using it for a while?

Hey all, just claiming my seat on a Saturday night. Was just struggling and another comment helped me get back to a healthy space. If anyone is struggling tonight, know there’s one fellow here thinking of you

Some good advice from my sponsor as I go into this stressful week:

- Invite your Higher Power into the meetings with you
- Be your authentic self
- Be there to help others

Covid has been hard. March 2029- December 2020 I drank a lot to cope without realizing it. January- March I didn't realize I was depressed. March I came to terms with increase and ongoing suicidal ideation and needed help.

I went into a intensive outpatient program (IOP) which has been super helpful.

During the beginning of covid I drank every day and in a great deal. January it was a "dry" month which was hard the first week but overall great.

March 2021 realized I'm clinically depressed.
