Feeling desperate. First summer sober. 213 days. I feel trapped by my own crazy schedule. Don’t know if I should pursue an MBA or not. Went to an AA meeting today but it was not enough. Working the program with my sponsor. I have everything, I am truly fortunate yet it does not feel that way inside. I can only feel lonely, empty and lost.

What’s the opinion about teaching at community college or as adjunct professor? I have my CPA license, but not masters. I’ve contemplated going back for a masters to be able to teach at the university level, but it seems like it doesn’t pay well these days. Part of my contemplation is I always wanted to be a teacher, but I opted against it because the politics involved. Does anyone have opinions, suggestions?

If I took a part time MBA program, can I still campus recruit for a summer role at MBB, Big 4, FAANG, etc?

Anyone have recommendations for MBA application consultants, experience stories and/or good questions to ask them during the initial chat? Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, I am a St. Stephen’s graduate (2020) looking to shift from my current strategy role to a consultant role. I am also an ISB admit and my MBA starts in 2023 (YLP admit). I would require the help of my fellow fishes to guide me in pursuing such a role in a big brand. Also, does mentioning the ISB admit become a deal breaker of sorts in such job transitions? As I understand no help comes for free, I am willing to share all my Gmat prep materials as well as provide guidance in essays if req

I'm a product owner in a product based company. I am a graduate and don't have an MBA. Recently when I was looking for a switch to a product manager role, some said that it is difficult for me to get opportunities since I don't have an MBA since companies prefer MBAs mostly for their product management roles. Is this true ? How good are my chances to progress with an MBA ?

Food for thought -

I might have a spending problem. I don’t think (?) I have a full blown addiction, but I’m cleaning out my closet and finding stuff that is few years old, still with the tags on, and lots of duplicates. I get a dopamine hit when I find a good deal and I’m wondering if it’s going too far. I can pay my bills, but I’m wasting a lot of $$ on things I don’t need. I have multiple family members who are/were addicts and hoarders and my own behavior is making me nervous. Any other big shoppers out there?

Ex wife gets married tomorrow. Didn’t think it was bothering me but I dropped my kids off at her house for the rehearsal and I’m struggling to keep distracted. I know having a drink only destroys the trust I’ve rebuilt, but I don’t want to feel like this.

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

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?

It's that time...🦃

What's one thing you're grateful for in your sobriety journey at the moment?

Drop it below! 👇

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.

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.
🙏 ❤️

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.

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

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.

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)

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

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!
