I am developing an unusually close relationship with my sponsor.

Grateful for him everyday.

We should do CLT Consultants happy hour! Comment if interested and we can plan it out after the holidays.

What is the base salary for Senior 1 in Gds tax currently? Anybody please?

Have an offer to start at Deloitte in July in Org Transformation consulting. If it doesn’t get pushed out because of the virus, is it a good time to switch firms in July? Concerned that layoffs may be imminent if I am so new to the firm. I will be coming in at the Consultant level if that matters.

I have a phone screen with American Express. Does anyone know how many days of PTO is allotted?

Anyone from Huron on the group? I see booming Oracle Cloud things on there, want to know more - Risk and Controls guy from PwC.

I am moving to Bangalore the next weekend, by 17th July. Seems there is a slight increase in covid cases, would it be better to come now or should I ask my manager to come to office after some weeks once everything seems fine?

Small life sciences company. Seeking reccos for internal IP Docketing Service/Platform. Anyone have any reccos.

Tips to avoid coronavirus while traveling?

Anyone else scroll through LinkedIn and constantly feel behind in their career? Everyone I know is exiting from MBB to VC/PE and I’m still making peanuts at Big 4. How do you deal with knowing you’re mediocre/less sharp?

What’s everyone’s side hustles? Or if you don’t have one, what is your passion?

I’m currently signed on a contract for my first house for new construction that has gas heating. I have not lived in a house with this before and this entire time have been battling the anxiety of it even with detector. The house, location, and price is all everything I could dream of. Any advice on what to do in this situation?

Hi Fishes,

Progress position- Product Specialist

I know everyone will have different answers for this but how did you know it was time to get sober? I think it might be time for me to find a new job and pursue sobriety, but I don't feel like I'm a rock bottom which is the only time I've ever seen people really commit to it (my father). Apathy isn't the right word but I just kind of feel numb about everything and I think being sober would maybe help.

Pause. Breathe. Proceed.

Social media! I find myself mindless scrolling through LinkedIn and responding to random shit. I put the phone down and pick it up again without thinking.

First in-person retreat in a while coming up and first for me at this particular firm. Several people have mentioned that much of the bonding etc happens while drinking. I am newly sober and now worried about being in this environment, any tips for making it through the weekend? Similar experiences?

I am sex addict. I have to continue to remind myself that I am always in recovery. Had a major acting out a month ago, lost my fiancé and just taking one day at a time. That’s all I can do. Just remind myself so I don’t stop working

Wrapping up 2021...

Do you have any reflections on this year? Biggest takeaways? How will you close it out?

Drop below to share 👇

I buy things I don’t need and don’t know how to fix it. I always blamed it on “drunk buying” but I’ve been sober for 355 days and it persists. I know I buy things in an effort to fill a void and try to feel something so I buy “things” but it doesn’t help and I know it. Any thoughts or suggestions?

How do you know when dependence turns into addiction? Where’s the line?

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

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

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.

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

Any meditation stories on recovery anyone willing to share? Did you have break through moments during meditation?

Curious to hear the story of anyone that has overcome or going through cocaine addiction. Given that people in this bowl make enough money to support such an expensive habit. Take me through your story - how bad did it get in terms of daily consumption and total money spent? Please share if comfortable.

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

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.

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

Hello to all,
If you need someone to save from addiction we can try.
