I've never smoked or drank in my life and I joined this bowl out of curiosity... Definitely a different crowd than what I was expecting.

OP I’m curious to know what you were expecting, and what you see in this crowd? If you’ve never had a drink or drug that’s very, very different than someone who has let it run their life and finally said enough. There’s a difference between abstinence and sobriety. And sober and dry.

Same. And every day I meet another person battling for control, I'm so happy I made the choice along time ago.

Not sure how drinking really helps anyone in the long run although it does kill the pain along the way.

I am in the process of finding administrative assistant interns from our local universities. In an effort to make my job opportunity appealing, I am asking everyone in this bowl about an appropriate job title. Is "Administrative Assistant" outdated or unappealing? I certainly don't want to mislead anyone on the job responsibilities, but I do want to avoid any potential negative stereotypes attached to that job title. Are there alternative titles that you find more appropriate for 2022?

Sometimes I let people know I'm sober. I don't talk about the 12 steps unless someone asks. I try to practice attraction rather than promotion. Also I've never done a noon meeting but sometimes I really think I should!

4 years sober today. So much to reflect on, not least of which how important it is to “get comfortable getting uncomfortable”. In my experience, it’s truly the only way forward.

Sending strength to you all 🖤
