Anyone addicted to smoking hookah here? I’ve relapsed recently and had been sober for about 3 years. Looking to hear anyone else’s path to sobriety.

Got the second moderna shot yesterday around 5pm est. All day, my body is in such pain, I am crying as I can’t get comfortable, and i have a fever. Took Tylenol but only helps moderately. Feels like the flu with the body pains. Grateful to get it but this feels awful rn. 37 female 🐠

What happens if a employee discloses his performance has suffered because corona virus got him depressed and he’s been drinking?

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

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.

F*****-up story…please be constructive (but also open & direct)
With my wife for 14 years, 2 kids under 8y - both under a lot of pressure bc Covid/work/private life/… and have been (unconsciously) running away from our couple not working “since a long time” (dixit my wife). We want to try and fix it, but I also met someone new (not sure if she would even want me) and wondering if it’s worth fixing it (since we are trying/running/avoiding it for years) - just worried about the kids…any advice

ADHD medication with high Blood Pressure?

I found ADHD meds helpful when I worked in consulting in my 20s. I stopped the meds when I went back to school. Also have had High BP since late 20s. 15 years away, I am back in consulting and loving it, however my difficulties juggling so many projects/tasks is holding me back. I know I would benifit from some ADHD medication but my Dr won’t prescribe any with my history of BP (controlled with BP meds). Anyone else gone through this? Any tips?

We can’t have classroom management without taking care of ourselves first. Rest. Even if it’s for 2 minutes. We close our eyes and reset.

Thinking of switching employers.

Civility thread!

Don't mention/hint at who you're voting for. Let's try to find some common ground.

How's your day going fellow politically-minded 🐠?

Biggest winner last night, Green Party.

If you miss the ‘Golden Age’ of television, I highly recommend tuning into Sean, Laura, and Tucker on FOX. An argument can be made that they are the Sopranos, The Wire, and Breaking Bad of their format. Unlike those works of fiction however, these shows and their respective hosts provide insight into our real world in a way no screenwriter ever could.

Too much noise out there - can someone confirm or deny whether the US Government funded gain of function research related to Covid?

Is anyone really on the fence about who they are going to vote for? Honestly why waste money on campaigning at this point, there is a very clear divide that won’t be persuaded by adds/debates/rallies

Trump wants to limit protests around the White House: where they can happen, what equipment they can use, and how quickly they can be permitted. Another conservative crybaby looking for a safe space.

Not having to think or talk about Trump alone is worth voting for Biden. Remember there used to be a time where the entire world wasn't focused on a single human being? It was nice. I liked it

How do we bring back civil society when community engagement is so low and division so high?

Who else is loving the boring Biden administration? No tweets, no lies, not divisive and more actions from President Biden. Looks like 2016 - 2020 were lost years.

Is America great yet or will be before 2020? Wondering if MAGA will change to KAG? And that implies, all things under current administration made this country greater. If not, then CMAGA? (Continue)

Where is Joe Biden going to go and read a teleprompter to 8 people standing in circles, today?

It's funny how Democrats are getting absolutely rocked in this election but still want to make jokes. Must be in that numb phase
