This past Wednesday (the 24th), was 3 years of sobriety for me.

In 15 years of weekend binge/blackout drinking, NEVER had I gone more than 3 weeks without a drink (typically never more than 1 weekend without a drink), and now my sobriety is counted in years (though still one day at a time).

I am beyond grateful and I know that this is something I could never do on my own.
🙏 ❤️

Has anyone ever tried a running coach? Did it help your times?

Has anybody got Covid again in a month?

I just found out my new coworker has ADHD. While that doesn’t bother me, I have never worked with someone with ADHD. Anyone have any suggestions for me?

For folks who got LASIK, how much did you pay? Has anyone had to get a 2nd “enhancement surgery”? I have high myopia and was recommended LASIK or ICL. Want to do LASIK and getting quoted $5k & apparently no insurance covers it? Thanks!

Help. I have not dealt with an anti-trans employee before and I need help with approach. This employee compared a mental illness with being transgender, and referred to someone trans as "he/she/it" at least once. The comments worked their way up the chain from an in-person event last week. How would you/have you approached this type of situation?

Recently experimented with adding meds the past month (feel horrible still) and this weekend my friend group dumped me after I blacked out and did something horrible. I don’t know how to help myself and I’m starting to spiral

I am a cashier and I was under the impression that we were still required to wear masks on a federal level. Is this not true?

A patient made me a card that said: "Care for one...that's love. Care for hundreds...that's nursing."

Cant take adderal because the side effects are just too hard on me. Are there any other meds I should talk to my doctor about? I am tired of being Dory.

Going through severe health anxiety right now. I wore expired contacts and my head hurts and it hurts even more cuz I keep thinking about it thinking it’s an aneurysm. My toes and fingers are so sweat

My doc sent me the wrong prescription this month (20 mg IR, which was my old prescription, instead of 30 mg XR). I forgot how bad the IR headaches and crash were…

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?

Hpw hard is it to crack into the supplement/wellness industry? I've seen a lot of people on social media go this route, and I'm very into fitness so it's something that interests me. Does anyone have any intel?

Looking for advice/input:

I’ve dealt with ADHD my entire life, although was just diagnosed last year. Throughout my career (assurance>industry>consulting), I’ve been able to “outwork” everyone else in the office to counter the lack of focus and other associated faux pas associated with the disorder. Recently have hot a point where I can’t put in the hours (3 yo/fam), and my work has taken a major hit. Anyone in consulting/assurance have any methods for managing this when it comes to PM duties?

Im about 25% body fat in my 30s. I feel like I’ve lost muscle for all the cleanses and real low calorie intake I’ve done to lose weight. Is it ok if I try and bulk for a few month to gain some muscle back? I don’t mind if I look a little bigger. But then after I build some muscle I cut correctly.

Anyone here still alive?

Who has worked with company NDAs in the past? Not Client NDAs, but one that was put forth by the company you work for? To me, it gets real sticky with being able to show work in your book if you have signed an NDA.

Hello Fishes,

One of my coworkers has withheld information that's important to my research because of a personal conflict we had. Should I speak to management or is it his right?

Would you feel comfortable telling HR that your service line’s culture sucks and name the individuals who cause it? Or is a better approach saying it’s the leadership in general creating a negative and toxic culture? How effective are these conversations really? Trying to assess if there’s any point in bringing this up. Obviously HR works for the company and an employee sharing their thoughts on the unsupportive, cold leaders could bite me in the long run.

How do you respond when straight white men and women attorneys make comments about how you do too much "non-billable" DEI work?

For Nov 2022 I am on track to bill 170 hours after today, with an additional 100 non-billable, which includes a bunch of various DEI commitments. I am busy but I don't feel like it's too much, esp when the DEI work makes the rest feel fulfilling. I always say yes when law students reach out, even if we have to schedule a month+ in advance. I show up to other affinity

Fish fam - would appreciate everyone’s thoughts on my next purchase. I currently have an Omega Speedmaster Professional that I bought a few years ago (thanks to this bowl!) to start my watch collection and I’ve been eying Rolex Datejust 41 as my next piece. I decide on the fluted bezel + jubilee bracelet but I’m torn dial color (I put myself as interest in grey, slate, and white as my Speedy is obviously a black dial). Any thoughts on the below options?

Good morning people 🙂

Thank you.

I'm having some trouble with my manager.

He's always asking me to work late, but when I do, he doesn't give me any credit for it.

I feel like he only cares about the results, not how much effort I put in. Should I say something to him?

Can someone help me listing companies which have any sort of reimbursement policy or support (eg. Sabbatical) for employees who wish to opt for further studies? Full time or part time

How do you deal with imposter syndrome? I'm a new therapist and I work with a bunch of women who have been doing this for ages. They're all really sweet, but I can't help feeling like I'm way out of my league. I mostly see younger clients which I guess works in my favor, but I just feel like I'm totally incompetent compared to the women I work with.

At what point of your career should you start prioritizing money/ growth opportunities over the work?

I could like to cut down my coffee consumption. Can we have that discussion here?
Has anyone successfully stopped consuming completely? Any side effects? How do you tay focused?

Where to start. Sitting here contemplating life after a sixer and wondering why I keep getting to this place. I make my family scared of me and push my wife and kids farther away while I think everything is ok.I can stop drinking when I need to focus on work, but when things get out of control I just drink it away. Tired of this cycle but unsure where to turn, but I know if I continue down this path it won’t be good. I am a vet and think I have PTSD, but turn to the bottle when needed

Update: reading “Quit Like a Woman” and loving it! I’m on Chapter 6.

I’m in constant chronic pain and considering kratom but I hear it is addictive and damaging. Has anyone had experience with it?

Any recommendations for nonprofits who support sobriety? I’m 17 months sober and I’ve been looking to engage with an organization who does good community work in the space. I know there are a ton out there but I would love suggestions based on personal experiences.

how's everyone doing? I'm on day 2... I'm hoping it sticks this time. had a scaryyyyy drunken night on a work trip where I made a series of veryyy bad calls. glad I'm not dead or in jail.

I need to stop drinking but can’t seem to make it more than a few days before cave. I do it because I’m bored. During the week I don’t know what else to do after leaving the office. (Continued)

Does anyone go to AA meeting while on the road? It would make life so much better for me if I could go, but I always feel like there isn’t time or I’m at the client too late

Sober Sunday check in ... how is everyone doing?

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?

Hi. I feel such a disconnect sometimes. My team is amazing and I’ve been on the same project for about a year. However, I’m never invited to work on PowerPoints and stuff over drinks.

Starting on my journey to sobriety today from sex addiction. I’ve been clean from alcohol for several years but my therapist has pushed me to start attending AA meetings in addition to SAA meetings. I know I can’t overcome this alone.
