Today’s Daily Reflection (a wee bit late):

THE BEST FOR TODAY

July 01
The principles we have set down are guides to progress.

ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 60

I have been having weird horrible dreams lately and the feelings/emotions continue in my mind even after I wake up in the morning. Gives me terrible anxiety and dread most mornings. What can I do?

Whatas the most outdated piece of business advice your parents have given you?

Trying to prioritize home improvement projects for my condo. Is exposed brick really a draw/differentiator? I kind of hate the way it looks (exposed brick on one wall in interior staircase with no windows/natural light). Should I cover it up, or will that hurt resale value?

I left TCS week before . Have heard TCS does not give letters easily,have to followup even after FNF settlement. Have anyone faced such issues,how to get it done ASAP ? My all clearance is completed

I’m attracted to my personal trainer. As in so attracted that I think it’s starting to show through my clothes..

DSA matters a lot to fetch good salary offer?

Hi all, I ‘m trying to decide if I should get a travel focused new credit card. When booking travel via the Chase or Capital One sites can you book packages like you can on an Orbitz type site?

Analyst at a boutique, A&D-focused, strategy firm, interested in moving to a tier 2 firm once i have a little more experience and they are hiring again. I have the option to purely do CDD for M&A transactions, will that experience look better than growth strategy projects for an industry I am hoping to branch away from?

Hi,

Is anybody here wanting to get paid for helping job seekers get referrals? Kindly reach out to me. Thanks!

How many files do you have in your caseload?

How nicely and politely the asks with dates are set for Tuesday and Wednesday on Friday. Don't you F*^%#•~! know what comes between Friday and Monday?

Welcome everyone! Where is everyone from and what field are you in? Feel free to share hobbies as well.

How much does a physical therapist assistant coordinator make it Keiser University this week Health Care got bigger bowl

Hello, so i got selected as a visual designer in Deloitte in contract, is it good to join as a contract in Deloitte?

How much year on year hike we can expect in NC for a BA ? Yoe 10+

Any signs of KPMG starting wfo?

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

Problem gambler here having to deal with multiple payday loans. Does anyone have any advice on how to handle? Been in a situation with pay day loans in the past? Any guidance would be great.

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?

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

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but reach out to your sponsor. They’ll appreciate it. :)

Trying to break my "It is 5 p.m." nightly drink habit. Got ideas?

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.
🙏 ❤️

I might have a spending problem. I don’t think (?) I have a full blown addiction, but I’m cleaning out my closet and finding stuff that is few years old, still with the tags on, and lots of duplicates. I get a dopamine hit when I find a good deal and I’m wondering if it’s going too far. I can pay my bills, but I’m wasting a lot of $$ on things I don’t need. I have multiple family members who are/were addicts and hoarders and my own behavior is making me nervous. Any other big shoppers out there?

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

Recently had a friend tell me about Kill The Can. Says he posts there every day to help keep the addiction out in the open. He is now over 1000 days clean.
Is there anything like this out there for SA/PA? My highest stint of days was 237 and haven’t gotten close since. Mostly making it 1 month and then falling again…
Thoughts?

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.

Sibling is 52 days sober from heroin/cocaine, but I just found a syringe and alcohol wipes under their pillow.

They have been passing observed urine tests, how is it possible that they’re using? Any ideas?

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

I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who shares in this group. It truly helps me stay sober. I am approaching 12 months sober but have been struggling lately. While I have not relapsed, I’ve been close. Normally, before I get out of bed, I write down my reason to stat sober for the day, but lately the reasons have been lousy at best. But reading about everyone’s struggles and successes has helped get me through this past month. So thank you all for the inspiration to keep going strong!

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.

After 3 years, the therapist disclosed that she’s in the program. I had wondered often about the source of her knowledge of the steps. Still I would’ve preferred her to remain anonymous in this regard. Now I keep wondering about whether I’ll see her at a meeting and what her story is. So odd. So self centered of me.

I’ve been sober for a few months and there are a few cocktail parties coming up at work. It’s “encouraged” to attend. Any advice? I have been to a couple backyard parties over the summer where I was around alcohol but I was mostly among friends. This is going to be different. Anyone else ever have a situation like this? Any advice is appreciated.

It's that time...🦃
