New to the group. Husband’s drinking got out of hand and he’s currently seeking in-patient help while I’m in outpatient. It’s going well so far. But curious what tricks and tips y’all use in social situations like happy hours and birthdays? Covid has made this a little easier but not looking forward to when things open back up.

Anyone feel like self-control is more difficult on stimulants in general? Like reflecting back on things, thinking before speaking, holding out on pleasure activities

Curious how people manage health/exercise schedules if you are working pretty much the whole day?

I know EY early promotes had their comp discussions and was curious what other big 4’s are seeing in terms of raises this year due to covid

New to Dallas - recs for a GP/physician? I’m in UP so downtown to Addison, tollway to 75’ish preferred.

Thinking of getting a lovely boob job to complete my aesthetic.

Ladies with a boob job - is it worth it?

I workout a lot I don't want it to hinder me

Also heard scary stories of women getting sicknesses from boob job.

Have had a couple of patients that have positive covid antibodies but their spouses don't. Please explain

Has anyone been to the UK lately from the US? What are the Covid requirements / restrictions? Thank you!

Please tell us, since COVID started:

-weirdest thing you've eaten
-weirdest thing you've watched
-weidest thought you've had.

obligatory post: how will COVID impact human capital? The types of work we do, factors in making a healthy organization, etc.

Struggling with separating what's for real and what my anxiety is making me believe. Like when I am stressing about something, I don't know if things are going south and I should be doing something...

Anyone here well-versed in condo/HOA insurance (HOA master policy vs HO-6)? I’m trying to see if there’s a way I can find out the states that requires the association to be primary insurance. Thank you in advance 😊

Question: Friend is starting to seek treatment, should he tell HR that he is getting treatment or keep it quiet. May want to go to inpatient at some point Trying to be supportive and give good advice.

I know everyone will have different answers for this but how did you know it was time to get sober? I think it might be time for me to find a new job and pursue sobriety, but I don't feel like I'm a rock bottom which is the only time I've ever seen people really commit to it (my father). Apathy isn't the right word but I just kind of feel numb about everything and I think being sober would maybe help.

How do you deal with anxiety before a big presentation? I really struggle with this and want to get better.

How many therapists (and social workers too!) see a therapist themselves? Do you find it helpful?
I think there's this myth that therapists have all their own sh*t figured out, and for me at least I know that's far from true (hopefully it isn't just me). On the contrary, I think we should be leading by example!

Last week, I mentioned that I needed to take an appointment (my therapy appointment) this Wednesday at noon. I also mentioned that this is a medical appointment, and I don’t feel comfortable moving the appointment. I just received an email that I need to be available. How can I stick to my boundary?

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

If anyone can refer me in ZS Associates or Deloitte ?

I am looking for a switch having 3.5 YOE.

Got an offer for SE III at a large tech company. Product I'd be working on interests me and I think I could grow more than in my current role.

Currently I make 180k base and have ISO/RSUs @ startup (60k/yr worth on paper, but won't be worth anything for a few years, if at all).

The offer is:
Base: $166,500
Target Bonus: 10% ($16,650)
RSU: 120k total (30k/yr)

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?

Additionally there's a yearly target RSU bonus about equal to the cash bonus. Thoughts? 4.5 YOE

How do you detach your self worth from your job? I have a lot of good things in my life and generally like myself as a person, but if I feel like I’m under performing, everything else feels bad

Added to the bucket list - one night with a woman. I am 32F.

My Uber lady was so nice!!! It makes my day. I wish great things happen to her!!

Wipro UBS vs HSBC project ? Which to join for development?

Hi folks, I am currently working in a product based Tata organisation. However, I want to switch to service based work and have been selected at Tech Mahindra as a Business consultant at U4 level. They are giving me 35% hike on my current salary. Not sure if this would be the right deal! Can someone throw some light on the consultancy wing of TechM and the work culture in here?!

Biden doesn't even remember who he is running against?! He called Trump by "George" yesterday. This is just unbelievable, man. The guy cannot become President....

Have you ever not eaten for a really long time but just can’t? I’m tired and hungry but there’s some sort of...wall. I can’t get myself to do it. Not anorexic, I’m chubby, but...anxiety.

Anyone else have bipolar disorder? I really have a hard time when my boss says I didn’t do something entirely correctly I can just completely spiral out of control if I’m in the wrong mood cont.

Has anyone here worked on SAP BTP yet?

Anyone familiar with what Director of Sales (Digital Media) in NYC salary range is?

What’s the salary band for a Director level for Big4 in New York? I am moving there and need to negotiate salaries

Feeling very frustrated right now…company talks a big game about DEI internally, while requiring new hires to move to Texas/Arizona, while the company’s PAC donates to politicians pushing extremist, regressive, anti-woman and anti-LGBT laws

They want to encourage us to “bring our whole self to work” while putting us in situations where we can’t be our whole self.

Anyone else in a similar place, feeling discouraged? Any tips?

Question: Friend is starting to seek treatment, should he tell HR that he is getting treatment or keep it quiet. May want to go to inpatient at some point Trying to be supportive and give good advice.

When I first got sober, I decided to take myself out of the game because I didn't trust myself. That was almost three years ago, I've been freelance since. Today is my first day back at an agency.

I can’t handle the networking thing sober.... I’ve been sober 4 years and I still find it incredibly difficult... also a young professional

4 years next month

Hi! I had no idea this bowl existed until an Account Director at work told me about it today!!! I always thought I was the only sober one in this industry! Im so glad that there are more of you. 😅💓

Just interviewed for a job. Saw an old work friend in the lobby, and he shot me a message after we said hi, saying it’d be great to work in the same building again, "plus this new one has a bar.” 😣

4 years today. #grateful #keepcomingback

Merry Christmas! You made it. Keep your lips dry and your chin up.

One year this week. Grateful for lots, including this bowl.

Billing almost 70 hours a week with no end in sight and poor leadership. Struggling hard to hit meetings but still trying to check in w support. Any advice?

Any meetings for ad people in la? I find no one really understands how we work in normal aa meetings. They find it suspect when I’m at work till 10pm every night for 3 weeks.

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!

Dry January. Anyone have it turn into the kick off for a longer term plan? Considering this.

Any body have to take a month off work to go to rehab then return? With a threat that most likely your current account will be handled by someone else and suffering lack of confidence maybe even fired

How many meetings do you go to a weekend what's your time? I go to 2-4 and I have 15 years.

Is there a group for people who aren’t alcoholics, but have issues drinking? Is it rude to go to AA if you aren’t totally dependent, but it is affecting you adversely?

Going into my first weekend sober. Kind of nervous TBH. I know I can do because I've decided I'm going to do it, but I will definitely be feeling temptation. Wish me luck and share your coping strategies

More than halfway through a 90 in 90 and I’m so grateful for NY AA and that there are so many meetings! Also 90 in 90 is actually kinda great

AA meetings on or near campus?
