Doing a new business "take potential new clients out for drinks" thing. Any advice on keeping my sobriety on the DL?

Has anyone interviewed or accepted a position with Teneo Strategy? Interested in hearing your experiences.

I just screamed at my dad and walked out of our home.

This morning I was trying to get feedback from him on a business idea and his response was: Maybe you should focus on your career since you didn’t get a job in finance and had to settle for consulting, and you work at Deloitte... it’s a sweatshop. They didn’t even give you a fast track promotion did they?

This is a regular thing and it’s the fucking weekend. I could use a break.

i’ve defaulted my state of mind to a fixed point of depression, unhappy with where i am in life. i feel less of myself than i know i’m worth. i feel defeated… 🥺😢

Quick PSA: one of the perks of going in-house, is that you’re no longer at an ad agency and all that that entails.

Just started a new in-house tech fl gig and it’s giving me whiplash! Somehow this dept has brought every person/toxic behavior from their old agency just to a new environment. Nowhere is perfect but good god. I honestly think companies/HR could learn a lot about their depts from freelancers.

With the new LCA wage increase or whatever, only FAANGs would remain in US? 🧐

I am interviewing for a clinical specialist position with Haemonetics. Does anyone have any experience working for them?

What does Friday casual mean for you and your office?

Is anyone else noticing a bigger bench the last few months?

Asking for a Fordham Media Studies graduate! What are the best ways of getting into the industry now? It's incredibly hard for graduates because of Covid.

I'm two thirds through the PMA Core Certification, and the info is great but the tests are a joke. They need to contract with an educator that specializes in testing and assessment to come in and develop exams that actually measure if you know the material. The bad test design devalues the certification. Not to zero, but I definitely will not be proud to have earned it. It just means I had $1300 and sat through 15 hours of video lectures.

Any tips for interviewing for a Analyst role in VISA implementation sector ?

Okay, so I have pretty bad cystic acne, clogged pores and enlarged pores. I’ve been using curology and a mild dermatologist recommended soap. I have seen some improvement, however I was curious if anyone was struggling with it and has tried the “Flo Vitamin gummy’s “ on top of my fertility struggle this really has kinda killed my confidence. I know it’s not specifically fertility related but Was hoping to get some feedback on similar situations

Chicago! What meetings near the loop should I hit?

How many meetings do you go to a weekend what's your time? I go to 2-4 and I have 15 years.

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. 😅💓

Question: Friend is starting to seek treatment, should he tell HR that he is getting treatment or keep it quiet. May want to go to inpatient at some point Trying to be supportive and give good advice.

Just interviewed for a job. Saw an old work friend in the lobby, and he shot me a message after we said hi, saying it’d be great to work in the same building again, "plus this new one has a bar.” 😣

More than halfway through a 90 in 90 and I’m so grateful for NY AA and that there are so many meetings! Also 90 in 90 is actually kinda great

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?

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

Going into my first weekend sober. Kind of nervous TBH. I know I can do because I've decided I'm going to do it, but I will definitely be feeling temptation. Wish me luck and share your coping strategies

Sometimes I let people know I'm sober. I don't talk about the 12 steps unless someone asks. I try to practice attraction rather than promotion. Also I've never done a noon meeting but sometimes I really think I should!

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

I'm struggling. people places and things. the place is work and the person is a co-worker. I had a few drinks yesterday. ill hit an AA mtg tomorrow. I'll keep trying.

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

Billing almost 70 hours a week with no end in sight and poor leadership. Struggling hard to hit meetings but still trying to check in w support. Any advice?

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

4 years today. #grateful #keepcomingback

8 years sober today! I love AA.

One year today yay!
