"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." -Confucius | What other quotes have inspired you along your recovery journey?

I forgot to wear a mask in my apartment building common area. Ran back upstairs to get it but nervous and paranoid that I’ve been exposed. Is there anything I can do but quarantine and wait a few days to get tested? So mad at myself right now

I'm constantly stressed and demotivated for no apparent reason. Anyone else feel the same? What should I do? It's taking a toll of my health and my family life...

Any advice with anxiety before calls/door pulling? Never happened before but it’s crippling now.

Is CSR still worth it? I already used the complimentary Lyft membership? It just expired. and I already used the DoorDash benefit. Their fees are going up to $550

How do I pick a personal trainer?

Just started and have to select insurance for family. I’m torn between Blue Cross Blue Shield Basic & Standard. Any feedback on picking a good family insurance? No terminal issues here and we are finished having kids!

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.

I have to keep so much systematized and scheduled for my job and organizationally I'm a mess. Does anyone have a fool-proof, ADHD-proof system for office and online organization? My life feels like a browser with 20 tabs open right now and I am losing it.

Good recommendations for physical therapists in the area?

New to the bowl but looking for an accountability community.

This morning I did 30 minutes of cardio and 50 minutes of upper body strength training.

Curious what other opportunities are out there for licensed insurance agent in P&C, Health/Life/Medicare. No sales.

Has anyone here successfully re-negotiated rent since the height of the COVID crisis? Live in NYC and can’t go back because I have to regularly take care of a family member with an immunodeficiency.

My husband and I are thinking about taking a 6 month career break to travel. Career suicide or worth the risk? For context, I’m a 4th year big law associate (30 years old and no kids).

I need to take the booster but what would be an ideal.time? How did you guys schedule booster around treatments/twe/trying all that

Want to start keto diet again; but I’m not motivated, how do I overcome this?

Hi! Have any here gone the natural cycle IVF route? What was your experience like? Did you have success in growing your family this way? Would you recommend it to others?

I have a game I love to play at the airport. I find someone who has the most vague resemblance to someone famous and then insist they are that person.

Like "Oh my God, you're Tom Hanks! I love so many of your movies and I think you are great and so funny in interviews. How are you feeling? I heard you had covid?"

Guy who very very vaguely resembles Tom Hanks insists he isn't. Then I keep insisting he is.

This is a fun way to pass time during layovers.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.

Has anyone found groups in FDD that have better hours than others? If so, what group, how did you do it, and how do you stay? I’ve heard that there are groups that do IPOs in FDD that work less, although I’ve never seen an IPO group.

What is a reasonable monthly budget for single folks living in Manhattan? I eat out rarely - maybe 2x / week and have the usual high 1BR rent + Wi-Fi + electricity and am netting monthly expenses at around 4K. Any other ideas on managing your money better?

Interested in pivoting to Venture Capital from Fintech Sales. Anyone willing to offer advice and insight?

I got offer from Axis Bank for Circle Head in AVP grade with 40% hike. Kindly guide me if its a good deal? I have a 9.5 years experience in other bank. How is work culture comparing with HDFC Bank?

At what point does the value of a degree fall off? I'm in my early 30s, and have five years of experience, and work on a very theoretically interesting project. I believe I'm on track to promotion in the next year. So, I could put in a year of full time school to check the box off, but I'd be sacrificing hobbies and social life (not to mention cost). Is this FOMO or is there real opportunity here?

Hey fishes,

With around 8 years experience in cybersecurity, and nearly 18 as the current package, what should be a fair demand for a Senior Manager Role in morgan stanley for mumbai location, 4 round of technical interviews went well. Will asking for something like 32 too much?

Hi all,

My joining is on 20th December in TCS. I have yet not received the onboarding Welcome mail. By when is the onboarding mail usually shared? Can anyone who has joined recently confirm? TIA.

Sir / Friends 🙏🏻
Does TCS accepts buyout in place of serving NP?

Can anyone help me understand what c9 grade means in NatWest job grade? what are next two grades after c9?

I know everyone will have different answers for this but how did you know it was time to get sober?

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.

I went to the lease this last weekend. Not one drop of alcohol was had. That was the closest I’ve come to caving. 4 wheelers, killing dinner with big guns, doing manly things in God’s country. Beer is an absolute necessity during these events. Anyhow, I didn’t drink. Proud of myself. Monumental moment for me.

Anyone have a friend or family member suffer from liver damage / failure? Not sure how or what to do to help someone with the problem.

Covid has been hard. March 2029- December 2020 I drank a lot to cope without realizing it. January- March I didn't realize I was depressed. March I came to terms with increase and ongoing suicidal ideation and needed help.

I went into a intensive outpatient program (IOP) which has been super helpful.

During the beginning of covid I drank every day and in a great deal. January it was a "dry" month which was hard the first week but overall great.

March 2021 realized I'm clinically depressed.

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.

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

I’m sober curious. I’m also about to help a new non-alcoholic spirit company with their launch.
I have a question for people in recovery. If a brand were to contend that sobriety is a spectrum, or allow for that to a least be part of the conversation, how does that make you feel? Are other brands doing a good job of being inclusive of people who are truly sober?
(I get that NA drinks / spirits can be triggering for people in recovery)
Thank you.

Any recommendations for group therapists in NYC??

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

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?

Have any of you found it worthwhile to think about why you are an addict? Care to share?

I am sex addict. I have to continue to remind myself that I am always in recovery. Had a major acting out a month ago, lost my fiancé and just taking one day at a time. That’s all I can do. Just remind myself so I don’t stop working

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

Pause. Breathe. Proceed.

I buy things I don’t need and don’t know how to fix it. I always blamed it on “drunk buying” but I’ve been sober for 355 days and it persists. I know I buy things in an effort to fill a void and try to feel something so I buy “things” but it doesn’t help and I know it. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Has anyone tried using Kratom to help with an addiction to opiates? Does Kratom itself get addictive if you start using it for a while?

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.
