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

People with One Medical,

Is it really worth the $200 ? If so, why ?

With this WFH life & the pandemic I’ve barely been moving. I started walking daily since a few days ago and it kicks my butt. My legs are actually sore from walking? It’s really sad but I’m glad I’ve taken in this initiative and wanted to share 😂

What's the biggest health myth you've heard that you'd like to bust? Mine is that supplements are always a healthier option than prescription or OTC meds. A lot of the supplements on the shelf contain all types of unnatural ingredients and can still be harmful depending on the dosage.

What misconceptions do you think people have about social work? or therapy?
Mine is my family still believes that only "sick" or unhappy people need to see a therapist, so they don't understand why I go to one since I have a job and a family. It's oldschool thinking and pretty annoying tbh.

Do any retail workers out there still get severe anxiety when you see someone without a mask?

Currently working on 2 deals, just assigned a third... Good time to start my all water diet for the next month?

What's your favorite thing about being a physician? With all the stress and heavy stuff we deal with, it's nice to reflect on the positives sometimes...

I have a CKD patient who is really struggling with their diet. I tried to help but whoa, it is involved!

What is your perceived risk level for contracting COVID these days? Are you back to work? Masking? My clinic still requires testing in spite of vaccination status.

I have one month left to finish my thesis. I know, I’ve screwed up. Anxiety got the best of me. Is there still hope?

Is opening a boxing gym worth it?

HSG pain level vs. endometrial biopsy? I have an HSG this week and did biopsy last week. Biopsy was brutal! I overheard a nurse telling someone else that HSG is actually more painful but I can’t even imagine… really nervous now.

I think my parents need therapy but being Indian parents they don’t believe in therapy. Has anyone had any success in convincing their parents to go? Is it too late because of their age?

Every single patient should be asked about their advance directive or living will.

My mom won't wear her Fitbit to bed. She has a pacemaker and has had a fib. We got it for Christmas so we could find out while she's in an episode and not a month later. She read or saw somewhere that it interferes with pacers. I looked it up and it's not a legit concern, but wanted more opinions before I advise.

Just heard that my district will have classroom and live-recording learning. I’m thankful because I now can feed my family, my newborn and a recent-sponsored wife! I’m scared because I’m almost 50 and I’m afraid I might catch the virus and die leaving behind my 1 month baby and a wife who is not legal in the state yet! The USCIS or Trump’s dept. thinks she’s not good enough to be in the US!! We applied for green card and SS card since August 2019!

Anyone else feel lethargic and sleepy? I feel like I'm getting very slow and dull mentally and physically. How can I stop this? Work out? Eat more fruits?

Question for outpatient PCP’s. How is everyone handling new patients if you have switched to telemedicine due to COVID?

What is everyone doing to run their fitness business during quarantine?

This couldn’t be more timely as I’m sitting in the waiting room after just being diagnosed 😆 welcoming tips for adjusting to Adderall!

Why do private equity firms use M&A consultants?

What tools do you use to conduct vendor research and select a vendor? Any helpful tools to standardize the process and keep everything organized and make it into a nice report?

Anyone have gallstones or cholestasis during pregnancy? I was diagnosed this weekend at 28 weeks. Going through a gallbladder attack as I type this 😢

I’m white.. and a man. Shhh, don’t tell anyone.

Will Ripple reach $2 before the end of the year??? Pretty exciting to watch.

I have $700 personal ecredit on delta to use because I cancelled a flight. Can you help me with a few questions please:
1) if I use it to by a $200 flight, do I lose the other $500?
2) is it route locked or can be on any delta flight?
3) I’m assuming it’s locked to me only.

Realizing that I am way too old for nights

Anyone raising desi kids in the US? What are are some of your fears?

A close family member recently passed away and my grief is reflected in my work. I’ve started making careless mistakes, I can’t focus, and I find it impossible to put in a full day’s work. How long did grief impact your research?

Trying to get rid of this casino addiction.. every time I drink,m or I’m bored... thoughts of blackjack stream in

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

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

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.

I recently tried quitting everything last Sunday, with drew all last week and then relapsed Friday, Saturday and Sunday worst withdrawals I ever had (cold sweats, shaking, wasn’t sure I would survive). I’m through the worst of it now but any advice? Thought about rehab but can’t stop work. This is probably my 9th time trying to go sober during the pandemic. I live alone so the isolation with the pandemic has extremely escalated my usage to the point of about a bottle of a day on weekdays

My SO is an alcohol abuser but has said he knows it’s a problem and would like to cut back or quit. Any suggestions or advice in how to help and cope with this. He becomes a different person when he drinks. I want to support him but don’t know how or where to start.

Pause. Breathe. Proceed.

my sister died this morning. I posted about her in a past post. Alcohol addiction, liver failure and then it taxed the kidneys too much, she went into cardiac arrest at 9 am and they could not save her. She was 51. Sad day for sure. Feels odd that she is no longer here. I just wish she could have had a better future.

Quit the booze back in September. It mostly hasn't been that hard but I can't get a grip on my emotions this week. Feeling overwhelming sadness for no real reason. (Cont)

Hi. So grateful for this bowl! I’m 16 months sober. Fairly new to ACN just curious what types of challenges you’ve faced and how you’ve overcome them?

Went for a pre-employment drug test yesterday. They never asked me if I was on any medications. I had to ask them and was told "oh yeah, just put any you may think make a difference in this text box." I put Xanax, Flexeril, and gabapentin. All of which are prescribed and used as directed. Now I'm terrified that I should have put ALL my meds, to including my psych meds. I've been sober over 12 years and never touched drugs (just booze) but I'm having a full blown panic attack.

If you're looking for inspirational films about addiction I highly recommend The Resurrection of Jake the Snake Roberts. It's a documentary about the wrestler who had about as bad an addiction problem as you can imagine. It goes through his problems, despair, but also shows his road to recovery through platonic love, support, and he finds redemption. It's great for anyone like me that tried and failed to get sober for years. I have over a year now for the first time.

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.

Another fly day, but today is 1 year sober for me. I used to love airports because I could run to a bar as soon as I pass security on a Monday morning. Yet I didn't think I had a problem.

Any interest in doing a daily reflections thread? In the spirit of rotation one of us would be responsible for posting the link and kicking off the share for a month at a time??

I told myself I wasn’t going to do it. Re-assured myself I wasn’t going to do it. Told myself you’d know what would happen and still ended up gambling away a bunch of money I know I couldn’t blow. I don’t understand.

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