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?

Girlfriend has very obvious high functioning anxiety and body image issues that she admits but thinks she doesn’t need therapy or medication and that reading self-help books will help her. It’s not changing in the last several years and it’s impacting our relationship. Anyone have experience with their SO dealing with untreated anxiety? I know I can’t control her but would like to express my feelings without sending her into a spiral. For context, I’ve been in therapy for 12 months and medicated

I’m great a vision and high level planning. I hate dealing with the intricate details at the next level and monitoring progress, especially during periods of low motivation/burnout which I’ve come to associate with my ADHD. Is this something you all deal with? If so, how do you manage?

I adopted a dog 2 months ago. She used to love going outside but recently she’s been very reluctant to go (hiding underneath the couch when I say walk or grab the leash, stopping and sitting on the walk). I’m in NYC so it’s getting colder but I bought her jackets which she seems to tolerates, bring high value treats and take her to the dog park on some walks but it doesn’t seem to be helping much. I try not to force her every time but as a result she has been having more accidents. Any advice?

I understand the importance of citations. It's a wonderful way to show how your work builds on previous research. But sometimes I just want to write an article that says "I think this" without having to cite everyone who ever said that before me.

US immigration question. Green card interview date was cancelled in March 2020. It’s been a whole year of just waiting for a reschedule date, so the I-485 is transferable (e.g. to another state, another employer). Has anyone transferred their i-485 to another employer? What was that process like? Would my process start from the interview phase? How did you prove that the next job was in the same category? Please mention if you did the process before or during the pandemic. Thanks so much.

Currently an underwriter. Has anyone wanted to try something completely different in the industry or outside of, but have no clue where to begin or what your skill set can transfer too?

I need to stop drinking but can’t seem to make it more than a few days before cave. I do it because I’m bored. During the week I don’t know what else to do after leaving the office. (Continued)

Been running on self-will for the duration of this lockdown. My reserves that I built up in this program are depleted. Thankfully I was able to attend a meeting this evening, and the topic was 3rd step. Funny how that happens. Good reminder that a life run on self-will can hardly be a success.

Just wanted to post an update. 68 weeks ago I posted about my drinking problems. It was bad. It’s been 8 months now without a single drink. I still can’t believe it. I still miss drinking. I’ve sat with coworkers and watched them drink. It’s not nearly as fun, but I am so thankful each morning I can hold my head up high. Will I drink again? I only said I would quit for 60 days. Can I have a beer? Some wine? A fine bourbon? I sometimes crave it. I guess there is the answer! You can all do 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.

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?

Anyone in the Boston area that's in the program - any meeting reccomendations?

By the grace of God, the fellowships of AA, NA and my family I am celebrating 30 years being clean and sober.
Thank You 🙏🏾 😍

how's everyone doing? I'm on day 2... I'm hoping it sticks this time. had a scaryyyyy drunken night on a work trip where I made a series of veryyy bad calls. glad I'm not dead or in jail.

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

Starting on my journey to sobriety today from sex addiction. I’ve been clean from alcohol for several years but my therapist has pushed me to start attending AA meetings in addition to SAA meetings. I know I can’t overcome this alone.

I’m in AA and participate in groups like this because I’m a real alcoholic. It matters less that for 8+ years I have been sober than the fact that I am sober now, woke up sober this morning, and by the grace of God will be sober tonight. This shit is real and every day I practice my program so I can have one day of sobriety. You’re not alone. The struggle is real

Update: reading “Quit Like a Woman” and loving it! I’m on Chapter 6.

Any recommendations for nonprofits who support sobriety? I’m 17 months sober and I’ve been looking to engage with an organization who does good community work in the space. I know there are a ton out there but I would love suggestions based on personal experiences.

My husband is an alcoholic and it’s getting worse with the holidays. He’s started every day drinking high alcohol-content IPAs as early as 8am. And he drinks them all day and all night like soda. He did AA when he was younger but is now vehemently against it. He is high-functioning. Has a PhD from MIT and works for a venture capitalist firm. I wondered how he gets through the day, but he started to come home early (mid-afternoon) and immediately open a beer while working. What should I do?

Starting my sober journey today. Glad to have found this community. Honestly hopeful but also scared.

I started working for a bank and am going through the background check. They found an arrest which was dismissed and the file was sealed a few days after the check. They’re requesting the police report on top of the court order to seal. The police report is BAD. During the arrest (DUI) they wrote the report to make me seem like a complete lunatic. Embellished on several elements of the case. I am worried that giving them this report will cause me to be let go.

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

Got two job offers after a stressful three months of job searching. I really want to have a drink or eat an edible to celebrate. Faaaak
