When corona started, I was way more lenient with drinking on weekdays, since life was boring now and it was a way to chill out and have fun even if I was just hanging in my apartment. Now it’s been months and I still feel like I use drinking to mark the transition from working to chilling almost every day. Is this a bad thing? I never expected to be WFH this long. I used to be pretty much a social drinker. Wondering if anyone else has had the same experience.

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!

Any of you manage WFH / telecommute more than 50% of the time? When I was an associate, you hardly saw the principal/owner. Now that I’m 7 months into partnership, I just started a set up for WFH myself. It’s basic right now, but once fully set up, I don’t see a need to go to the office other than client meetings. But in this area of law, even in a pandemic, people love to just stop by. So that’s one of my concerns if I transition to WFH.

If not, how can I make sure this doesn’t happen again?

The rest of the team puts up with it, though I know some other people are unhappy too. It’s a global business and market leader, so the experience looks good on my resume, but I’m burnout already. Should I look elsewhere, and quit before the year?
