I’m taking Antabuse. It’s the only thing keeping me from drinking right now while I’m home for the holidays

I've struggled with excess for as long as alcohol has been a part of my life. I'm at a low point after having too much on Sunday, being unproductive on Monday, and barely sleeping. It's this moment that makes me want to finally change. But I know when I'm feeling better, I'll think I can do this all again and next time it'll be fine. I've read tips here for being better and will try my hardest. Tia for listening.

Anyone took Bain Sova Test? Could you please tell me how hard it was? And what specific part was the hardest?

I’m so sad. Just found out at 13 weeks pregnant that fetus likely won’t make it. But I won’t know for sure for weeks. So sad. How do people deal with this? I’m already blessed to be a mom and love my kids, but this is really hitting hard.

I work out every day, typically between 30-70 minutes (sometimes even 2-a-days) mixing in cardio/weight training/hybrid and have been doing so for the past 3 years consistently. Additionally, I eat minimal/no gluten (sensitivity) and absolutely no dairy (allergy) yet can’t seem to lose weight. Granted, with my clothes on, I feel like I look fine, but feel as if something is missing. Any advice or am I being too hard on myself ?

I'm considering seeing a functional nutritionist. Does anyone have experience with a functional nutritionist, and if so how did the suggested form of treatment help you?

Hello. Would like to know what all is tested in pre employment health checkup.

Hello: I've had cats and just took my 12 year old cat for his 6 month check up. We have been watching his thyroid levels which are a little elevated but this time his calcium is elevated. Everything else is normal and vet wants abdominal ultrasound to see for cancer. Has anyone had this? Left message for vet to discuss... obviously upset. Cat looked good on clinical exam...... thoughts or input please?

Has anyone been on a wellness retreat before? Lots of anxiety and my therapist suggested going to one to help, but they're pretty pricey. Wondering if they're worth it/anyone have reviews or recs for some affordable options?

My ex cheated on me. We dated for 2 years . I been suffering from bad panic attacks since the break up . Any suggestions on healing ? (No I will not hook up with randos )

If y’all know, I’ve had ongoing issues with my boss about communication. Mainly that I communicate, he doesn’t, then when I stop he gets pissed I stopped. Well, I’ve been battling a cold over the king weekend and today woke up to Pink eye. Didn’t want to spread it so I texted in our office text chat I would be staying home until I was better. No response. Just got an email he is filing as a memo about my pattern of no communication to management about my office presence. What the hell?

Been really fighting sleep lately. I recall reading that’s an ADHD symptom but I can’t find it now in my half asleep but wide awake state.

What gym do you go to? I’ve been thinking of signing up for GoodLife but I’m allured by the nice gyms with the “social wellness” aspects like Cambridge, Altea, Equinox etc. They are quite expensive though so I’m not sure if it’s worth the cost

Does anyone know of any good gyms near the Heights area of Jersey City? Looking for a 4-5 month term because I’m going to business school after that

Joining my husbands health insurance but there’s still money left in my HSA- can I use still use this account after I switch insurance? Do I need to roll this over?

Do you feel depressed stuck at home for too long?

Serious question. How do you know when you have an eating disorder or if it’s just stress eating? Or is that considered a disorder regardless?

I have a dear friend whose mother just passed from diabetes. She was on government assistance. Didn’t own a home. Had upwards of 60k in medical bills. Yesterday alone he received 7k in new bills

After eating relatively healthy and cutting out alcohol the scale wouldn’t budge. Recently started tracking my calories and I’ve already lost 5 pounds! Huge thanks to this bowl for giving me the push I needed

45k / 26 / M / Miami

Droga junior salary? 60k?

Have your companies been discussing cost of living raises? Seems particularly pertinent this year

Need some advice as I already have an offer from EY but my other interviews are not over yet. I have ongoing interviews with Microsoft, Twilio and Revolut. They are trying to fasten up the process but I believe it might take another 7-10 days time.

On the other hand, HR in EY is asking to make a decision urgently, which is understandable as they have already waited for 3 days now.

Any suggestions?

For the past one month and a half I have been looking for entry level roles in Governance risk and Compliance but I seem not to be landing interviews . Can someone give me pointers or if anyone can recommend me to their company for that role. I have a degree in Information science, Associate degree in IT and understand PCI-DSS framework.

What does "diversity" in DEI (in the legal profession) mean to you? I would appreciate insightful feedback. Thanks.

Hello I have a phone interview today for UI position, I am somewhat prepared do you think I should worry about any deep questions the recruiter may ask?

Does it still make sense to purchase rental properties in HCOL markets like LA? I was passively looking before the pandemic, but it seems like things have gotten pretty insane. Lot of properties just won’t cash flow.

How long does it normally take to get an on-site interview scheduled? I sent over my availability on 5/25 and I still haven’t received a response.

Hello Fishes, I’m interviewing for a senior program manager role at Amazon and HR asked me my total comp expectations. Being new to tech I really don’t know where to start. I don’t want to short change myself or reach too high. I’m a Consulting SC at D with 10 YoE (experienced hire from government) making $130k now. What I’ve seen online is a massive range from 150s into the 300s. This is a non-tech role. Any insight as to what’s appropriate is appreciated!

Alcohol + SO. I stopped drinking about 3months ago. Was trying to eliminate triggers for a new skin condition (alc/ bad food/airplane air / stress appeared to be triggers). And skin IS better! My BF

I want to go to something like AA but I am an atheist who calls myself agnostic because atheism is illogical. I hear AA and AA-like support groups are religionish-oriented. Is there anything else?

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

What do you do when you’re already on the precipice of a mental breakdown, doing as much as you can 11/day with 9 accounts because we’re down staff and your supervisor says: your permanence is lacking

“Like” this post if this has been a tough week for you too...help me feel not so alone.

Hi everyone! I’m new here. 217 days sober. I quit on September 11, 2021. I never thought I had an issue until I started lying to my friends and family about my consumption. I would take off work to drink all day and go home drunk, thinking I could play it cool and no one would notice. This has been very hard and very rewarding. If anyone is sober curious or even having a hard time with sobriety, something that really helped me is the reframe app. Be kind to yourselves!

Problem gambler here having to deal with multiple payday loans. Does anyone have any advice on how to handle? Been in a situation with pay day loans in the past? Any guidance would be great.

Curious to hear others’ stories about the positive changes they experienced (mentally and physically) after they quit drinking....I am thinking about quitting again - mainly to improve my mental and physical state.

Hi, just joined this bowl! I have an AH and things have gotten pretty serious this year. He started on and off with recovery always asking my help to try 30 days sober which I do to support but he consistently fail and avoids AA. I have been doing Al-Anon and it’s very helpful. I relate in most stories, but sometimes I feel so different from the people there (mid class religious housewife vs me an LGBT atheist consulting from CA). Does anyone have a meeting to recommend or has been in my shoes?

After 3 years, the therapist disclosed that she’s in the program. I had wondered often about the source of her knowledge of the steps. Still I would’ve preferred her to remain anonymous in this regard. Now I keep wondering about whether I’ll see her at a meeting and what her story is. So odd. So self centered of me.

Friendly reminder that benzos aren’t substitutes for a night cap.

Another week down I have to say this week was harder I find myself thinking about things I haven’t thought about in the long time all the old wounds re-opening but I’m doing OK one day at a time 1 foot Forward

Starting a new year next as year three clean and sober and now since then I have gotten an apartment, a car, and a job I love, a hobby I enjoy and have grown exponentially! My parents were raging alcoholics and I suffered in silence until college when I was already drinking at sixteen and overseas I started drugs in college! There is a light in the tunnel and self love vs. self loathing is how I treat myself!

Has anyone had success reducing or getting off stimulants? I been on vyvanse for 10 years and now at a pretty high dose (60mg). I feel fine when I take 60mg but my concern is if I don’t take that much I feel barely functional and I don’t want to go any higher in future years. Not taking on weekends basically requires me to just lay in bed all weekend.

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to seek help but I need it desperately. I'm a sex addict and I can't stop. I have been with my wife for almost a decade and I have lost count of the number of women I have cheated on her with. I have been "lucky" that she has never found out but I literally can't stop. I feel ill lose everything if she discovers this and I truly and deeply do love her. I just don't know how to fix myself. Please help!

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