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

My girlfriend’s cat, who she’s had for 15 years and who she absolutely adores, is dying of cancer. Aside from offering emotional support, what can I prepare to do that would be helpful? I was thinking about something along the lines of commissioning a drawing/painting of the kitty (during healthier days). I’ll be there when in-home euthanasia happens, but would like to think of some other supportive gesture and am drawing a blank.

Any recommendations on fixing teeth gaps? I see many online services that are alternatives to braces. Anyone have any experience with it?

My wife is a Fragile X carrier, so with this and trouble conceiving we are doing IVF and doing genetic testing on the embryos. There were 2 options Natera and Cooper. We went with Natera - and they take so long!! It sounds like it will be months before they send sample collection kits to us and close family members, then use those samples to develop a customized embryo test. Natera is fine with us beginning hormone stimulation in parallel, but our RE won’t allow it (no clear explanation why).

Hi everyone, first fishbowl post here :) I’m currently 4W4D pregnant! I’m excited but also very anxious. I had a miscarriage first time I got pregnant last June and a chemical pregnancy in Jan. I REALLY want this to work and need to obviously keep my stress and anxiety in check. I read everything there is to read on what to do/not do/eat/not eat… My previous experiences have removed any kind of “innocent excitement” I had. Does it ever come back?

For those taking flights now, what masks are you using? Can you please share any links to Amazon or other sites?

I still constantly think about my 1st serious relationship from about 14 years back. I think about her everyday and fantasize about she reaching out and us getting back. We have not had any contact for the past 7 years, post break up contact was limited to once a year birthday wishes.

I have tried therapy and they asked me to do some forgiveness work, which has helped in other aspects but not this. I genuinely think this is exactly what addiction is. Plz. help folks, how can I get over this?

Do you feel like the Corona lockdowns and working from home have helped or hurt you?

Has anyone had experience with follicle size discrepancy? I’m trying to freeze my eggs; on day 8/9 ultrasound they counted 4 follicles larger than 11mm, two of which are already mature, 16.7mm and 18.9mm. They also said I have another 5+ in each ovary that are smaller than 11mm. The phone call with the doctor was pretty grim (he basically said we might need to cancel the cycle as 4 follicles is too few for elective freezing). Can the smaller ones maybe catch up? Anyone with a similar experience?

Is anyone who switched firms this year still paying social security tax on their wages even though they are past the SS taxable wages threshold ($137,700 in 2020)? I just realized my SS tax “bonus” hasn’t yet kicked in this year even though it should have two paychecks ago, and I’m thinking it’s because my new firm’s payroll system doesn’t “realize” that I already paid a bunch of SS tax at my old job this year. Not sure how to fix this..do I just have to wait until I file my tax return for 2020?

Just cleared $300k selling my primary residence and will move back into a house we used as a rental. Looking for investment recommendations with the $300k. Should we buy a business like a bar in a college town, buy a multi family property? Or break up the principal and invest into a mix of bonds/stocks etc?

I have an offer from EY. They rejected my counter offer for a higher salary but accepted my counteroffer for a higher sign on bonus. They gave me a few more days to think about the new offer. I want to know how likely would they be willing to renegotiate if I tell them I still want something closer to my original counter offer.

What does everyone do for support while traveling? 12 Step meetings aren’t always easily available in some locales or time slots. How do you stay grounded, focused, and centered?

Walked back from the liquor store between calls in tears because I can’t control myself anymore. Am doing an intake meeting with a Intensive Out Patient care provider next week. Will be doing therapy from 5:30p-8:30p like three times a week for two weeks. How do I tell my team that I’ll have hard stops for these sessions? I don’t feel comfortable sharing my alcoholism with them

Best AA meetings in NYC??

Any DFW folks here? Need to freshen up my meeting routine.

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

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

If I want to go to an AA meeting do I just show up? What happens my first time? Do I have to quit drinking before I go to one/ be committed to quitting before going? How many people are at these? Is there a time/day of week that is best to go? How often do people in AA have to go to meetings? Does it cost anything once you join? I just can’t shake the feeling that my luck is going to run out. Not a daily drinker, but blackout when I do. Thx.

I have been alcohol free for 2 months but I use MMJ to focus. My dr prescribed MMJ because I don’t want pharma drugs like Adderall. Is there a place for me in AA or is it all (sobriety) or nothing?

Any tips for staying sober doing this job? I’m a new analyst, and I’m already feeling the pressure to drink. There’s no way that I’d have this job if I didn’t get sober and I’m just trying to cont

Any recommendations?

This time last year I knew I needed to stop drinking, but I couldn’t. This year, though, I’m putting my health first. Starting day 2 of sobriety and hope to keep it up. Thanks to this group for all the support and encouragement shown to those of us struggling with such powerful addictions.

In early recovery and have to go away for conferences but don’t want to put myself in such a triggering environment. Should I go to support my career or pull out to not put myself in that situation? Anyone deal with the same and how did you do it?

Today was day 3 without Adderall (1st work day) & I felt extremely tired and sleepy all day. Any ideas on how to make my detox go easier? My 1 cup of Starbucks cold brew was useless lol

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.

I think this whole quarantine thing has helped me... I used to drink like a fish on Thursday on the plane rides home and on the road.. it was all free booze
