Is restructuring actually that hard to break into?

I can see tentative date of joining on TCS ibegin portal. Is this my date of joining or Did tcs send separate joining date/mail? And Is tcs delaying joining for experienced?

I’m looking to get out of direct patient care, and would love to find a job where I can work from home (even if that’s something in the future.) I would like some advice with switching careers into healthcare data, healthcare informatics, etc. I’m currently a nuclear medicine technologist with 2 years experience, and a BS.

Moving to Chicago from Boston at the end of the month! Signed a lease in River North at WPE. Any tips for getting acclimated, dos and don’ts? This is my first move and although I’m excited, I’m a little nervous to be in a brand new city. For context 29 F.

Do any other women (or men) constantly experience people assuming you’re an assistant ? It seems like being a young female people assume you must be the advisor's assistant. How to do handle this?

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.

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

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.

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.
🙏 ❤️

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

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!

I’ve managed well during all of this and am approaching my first full year of sobriety. But the thoughts of “I want to get slammed at a bar when this is over” are starting.

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?

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)

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?

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

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

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

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

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.

Does anyone have experience going to AA while still using Plant assisted therapy such as Kratom and medical cannabis. I don’t wanna lie but I want to be accepted as there are only a few meetings here.

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.

After 3 years, the therapist disclosed that she’s in the program. I had wondered often about the source of her knowledge of the steps. Still I would’ve preferred her to remain anonymous in this regard. Now I keep wondering about whether I’ll see her at a meeting and what her story is. So odd. So self centered of me.
