Normal to feel guilty about reaching out to sponsor when struggling emotionally and feeling cravings to drink, with no real risk of picking up a bottle? Having a hard week and the pangs of drinking keep hitting, but I’m not at any real risk. Felt dumb calling my sponsor.

Anyone know if a booster shot is required with Delta to Amsterdam (connecting flight)?

Help! I could use some ideas. I have 15 students, 1 with IEP’s , 3 on 504’s, 1 GT, 2 others at higher levels, 1 emotional basket case, 1 ADD on steroids (even though he Tries to be good) and 6 ordinary kiddos.

Hey need some advice. I got diagnosed bipolar and can’t take stimulants. The diagnosis is being challenged and I got a second opinion it’s ADHD. Makes sense, all my family has it. Doctor won’t give me stimulants that work better. What do i do? Seeing other doctors is a 6 month long wait.

If you are feeling anxious and depressed these days, just know that you are not alone.

Please put a note and I would love to pray for you. God bless you all!

Had my second retrieval yesterday. They got three eggs and two fertilized. So far, this is the exact same thing that happened my last retrieval in January. Three total eggs, two fertilized. They weren't growing super well so we did a fresh transfer for both (and neither stuck).

Feeling a bit discouraged that the same pattern is repeating itself again. Probably will end up doing a fresh transfer for both of these embryos (again). I'm 33 with unexplained low ovarian reserve. Just sucks.

Assuming most telugites eat rice, how are you folks staying fit and avoiding belly fat? Any tips?

One positive of the COVID 19 (please don’t rip me a new one for saying that) is I needed monitors for my new house’s home office and now Deloitte gave me a buy one get one basically.

I feel like the fertility process is pulling my hubs and I apart. We’re both not great at communication, but I feel like this stressful process just is not bringing us together at all. I can’t vocalize what I need (because I don’t actually know what I need) and hubs is stressed and I feel like he’s drinking more and just not talking about his feelings. Anyone else navigating this? I don’t even know how to broach this topic. I am all about therapy, has anyone benefitted from couples therapy?

I’ve found that when I’m feeling down it helps to think about moments where I felt like I was on top of the world (first successful MTD, etc).

What is your favorite memory from practicing?

Can anyone recommend a good book/materials to prep for the CIPP/CIPM? 🙏🏽

Hi Ladies, I’m 31 yrs old I‘m in birth control right now and will be starting Stims from 08/29 as part of IVF treatment. This is my first time IVF, all my results are normal but due to male factor had to go with IVF, and my insurance is not covering for my drug:Follistim-900 unit Pen/Gonal-F, my doctor prescribed Follistim. So I was doing price match for both in Freedom fertility and Village Pharmacy. I see Follistim is costing $2741 and Gonal-F is $847(due to some discount), which is best one?

Looking for a recommendation for a new doctor/PA/whatever for ADD medicine. I have been on medicine for 15 years and think it’s crazy to come in 4 times a year and pay $300 for a 3 minute appointment.

Has anyone ever transferred abnormal embryos?

Has anyone successfully navigated the sobriety process without taking off work? I have a handful of dependencies I’ve been trying to break (but struggling immensely with). Got prescribed a bunch of drugs during early covid for mental health and have since found myself addicted to most of them.

Why are accountants and government officials saying health care workers should be mandated to get vaccines? A large percentage of health care workers do not want the vaccine and unfortunately once the vaccine is mandated this data will be gone, but as of today NY Healthcare workers are only about 30 percent vaccinated. The vaccine has been out for a year, they could've gotten it by now. So are we saying the nurses who were heroes last year are no longer heroes? Do we really think we know more?🤦

Vaccination cards, is it just me or is the system faulty. I feel like there is no real way to tell I have been vaccinated. Yes I went to a clinic, yes i got vaxxer, yes I have my card, but I cant seem to find myself on any database.. so what's the deal

Hi all,

Got a bit of an odd request.

I'm a Project Manager at Sainsbury's based in Holborn and was wondering if anyone would be able to give me a tour of their London Big4 office?? I've never been in their office and I would like to visualise what I'm striving for. Willing to meet up for a coffee before hand or have an initial call. Coffee's on me!

TIA

What does it mean when a recruiter tells you that you wouldn’t be competitive for the New York City market and that your best chance is to stay in your current city? I’m born and raised NY and was looking to move back 🫤

Either some recruiters straight up have no filters or I’m just the worst of the worst lol

New to recovery and had an intake call with an IOP program. They said all sessions will be on Zoom and I’m really nervous that I won’t connect to the program virtually. Anyone start rehab virtually?

13 years, 3months and 21 days! Its not been easy, but definately can be accomplished! Hard work, GOD a a desire to change, and not in that order!

SEEKING OPINIONS & FEEDBACK: I love the honest & practical discussions here, where people can freely identify things that are going on & seek guidance.

Wondering whether anybody’d be interested in some kind of more purposeful community- i.e., gathering w/fellow lawyers to pursue some specific mental health & well-being goals? We’d provide some counseling/coaching type content, in bite sized chunks, but have regular discussions to connect & encourage one another on applying the content IRL.

1st of all: I’m super inspired by this bowl. I’m now mid-30s and recently went 50+ days without drinking and felt good/productive. (Longest streak since before turning 21) But how do you stick with it? I’m conflicted bc I haven’t hit a “rock bottom” and part of me loves a glass of wine to unwind and mark the end of the workday, but I also have a hard time stopping once I start (no such thing as 1 glass). Feel boarder-line between these 2 worlds and unsure where to go. Anyone feel similar?

My husband was sober for 8 days then relapsed. This is the longest stretch he's gone in probably 8 months. I can't describe the heartache. I can't describe the hopelessness. This disease is the devil

I’ve managed well during all of this and am approaching my first full year of sobriety. But the thoughts of “I want to get slammed at a bar when this is over” are starting.

I started working for a bank and am going through the background check. They found an arrest which was dismissed and the file was sealed a few days after the check. They’re requesting the police report on top of the court order to seal. The police report is BAD. During the arrest (DUI) they wrote the report to make me seem like a complete lunatic. Embellished on several elements of the case. I am worried that giving them this report will cause me to be let go.

Been running on self-will for the duration of this lockdown. My reserves that I built up in this program are depleted. Thankfully I was able to attend a meeting this evening, and the topic was 3rd step. Funny how that happens. Good reminder that a life run on self-will can hardly be a success.

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

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

I left my last job because I didn't appreciate the culture (B4). However, it was probably because I was a terrible employee. However, I do find that my clients love me 10x more than my consulting colleagues. I joined a smaller firm to cover up the problem.

I drink during the day. I know it's the main reason for my ability to be a productive employee. Anyone else deal with this? I'm trying to control it through moderation management, Dharma meetings, therapy, and white knuckling.

Is Al Anon really helpful for spouses/children affected by alcoholism or other addictions? Does anyone have insight on this

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

Does anyone have any advice for supporting and coping with someone going through withdrawal? My husband is trying to quit his weed addiction and he has been irritable and mean since he quit. His mood is erratic and he is constantly annoyed w me. I don't even know how to bring this up without setting him off. Just feel like I'm walking on eggshells and I'm emotionally exhausted at this point. Is there anything I can do to help him? Is there anything I can do to help myself cope?

Trying to get my relationship with ADHD meds back under control.. the fear of going a day without is always alwayss worse than the day itself but the fear is nonetheless consuming :/

Relapsed, damaged my car pretty badly. No one got hurt fortunately but I feel down and broken, again. Why can’t I stick with sobriety it’s killing me

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.
