Yesterday I celebrated 8 years since the last time I had a sip of alcohol. Best decision I ever made. If you’re in the early days of sobriety, hang in there. It gets so much better!

Does anyone else struggle with remembering to eat lunch on busy days? I totally forget to feed myself and end up tired and cranky by the end of the day because of it.

First day of 30mg vyvanse today. Had a rush of energy and hyperfocus (too much so) about 2-4 hours in, but had a complete crash 5hrs after taking the pill (just a wave of fatigue, felt very good after a quick 15min nap actually) and not sure if it had any effect after. Is this normal? Should I stick it out for a few days or is this a big sign that I’m not on the right meds/dose? Nervous to keep trialling this during the workday since a midday crash is not ideal. Appreciate any advice!

What are people’s ADHD med schedules like? I’d love to have coverage that lasts all day, but still lets me sleep.

Taking Concerta in the AM doesn’t give me enough coverage for the whole day. I take it the moment my alarm goes off in the morning at (usually) 6am. Which is great for my morning, but by 3pm I’m starting to fray apart, bouncing around between tasks and getting progressively more distractible and demotivated.

Tips for getting deeper into meditation?

Has anyone Moved from NY (Long Island) to FL? What were some of the unexpected changes to life styles you noticed? This is the best bowl for It.

Need some advice about family problems. My brother just got another DUI (now a felony since he has had so many when he was younger). This happened only 3 months after he finally got his license back..

i CANNOT stand my coworker. He is sooo Nosy! He knows about everyones business in the company and always makes remarks about the times i come in late and is rude asking how my diet is going when ever

Any tips for starting and sticking to a meditation routine? I think about starting it everyday for awhile, but can’t get myself to start one session 🥲

Any recs for relatively affordable low-key trainers/gyms/programs around? I gained the COVID 50 (ugh) and am pretty embarrassed about my current shape so I don’t want to jump into a full group fitness class just yet. I’d like to start with some solo workouts but still have the accountability of a group fitness like Orange Theory (which I was pretty into pre-COVID). Also “affordable” meaning I can basically use the annual $1k fitness subsidy we get from Uncle D and pay minimal out of pocket.

My building has a confirmed case :( Be careful and stay healthy everyone!

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

I and my boyfriend have been dating over a year now. Our relationship in general is pretty smooth and sweet. The only problem is he has not come out to his parents yet. It was not an issue before the pandemic thing since we were just living in the city, being in our own bubble. But Covid happened and he moved back to stay with his dad. Since he is not out, he can’t pick up the phone call whenever I call him, he can’t tell his parents he is dating someone in the city. Cont.

I live in a condo w maybe 50 units currently half full. Our gym is still open. Rarely more than one person in it. My SO was pissed I went and said that’s breaking quarantine. Ridic or should not go?

Has anyone been to Costa Rica (Tamarindo) recently? Are things open with COVID? Did you feel safe? Thanks!

Has anyone had roommates who got sick with Covid and they managed to not catch it from them? If so, what precautions did you take? We have a good relationship and so far he’s been staying in his room and using a mask whenever he needs to use the restroom or grab water from the kitchen. I am the only one who touches the fridge and takes his food out so he can eat. What else can we really do?

Best recent healthcare books related to improving our broken system? Atul Gawande’s books are a bit dated now I think.

Just finished An American Sickness again. Thank you!

Does EY’s vision plan not cover eye exams?

I have not been diagnosed with ADHD. I definitely fit some of the characteristics that go unnoticed in females. The good news is if i do have ADHD, it makes me quite good at my job as I’m very flexible and can provide positive energy to my patients. Anyway, my boss has told me I have ADHD multiple times. It seems rude when she says it, and she follows it up with “I say that because I love you” which i feel is so unprofessional all around. Anyone have guidance on how to handle this?

I want to make my money work for me and investing in index funds seems to be a good first step. Anyone have any good books/research websites to recommend for investing in index funds and/or other financial instruments? Would also appreciate advice anyone has for a first time investor who is terrified of losing money to the market.

I joined EY a year ago as a senior and am very fed up with my group. I work on short-term projects with very scrutinized budgets, yet my utilization is supposed to be 100%, so my hours are scrutinized by the teams I work with and leadership. It feels like it's all they care about. Has anyone moved firms due to such reason?

What’s a reasonable percentage to give away to an investor in the early stage of your business where you have not generated revenue? How is the percentage determined?

One of my friends has been given a choice, to work with an extremely outrageous target or to leave the firm. If he chooses to stay, he will be bound to serve a total time of 6 months. And if he refuses, tomorrow will be his last day, what can I suggest to him?

It's a critical decision and he is overwhelmed by this sudden obstacle. Any leads would be helpful.

Moving to SF Bay Area after 33 years in LA. Have built a solid NA framily and fellowship. I know I need to get connected to a new area of meetings right away, but antsy about the whole process.

Ugh. I need to find a new sponsor. I don’t want to but my current one moved. Im really not into change right now! (Or let’s face it, ever). But for me no sponsor is no good. Any tips? I

Chicago! What meetings near the loop should I hit?

If u have the addictive gene, Advertising is so easy to self destruct. Supporting each other is invaluable. Keep these posts going. It DOES get better. U can be sober in advertising.

Any meetings for ad people in la? I find no one really understands how we work in normal aa meetings. They find it suspect when I’m at work till 10pm every night for 3 weeks.

Hi! I had no idea this bowl existed until an Account Director at work told me about it today!!! I always thought I was the only sober one in this industry! Im so glad that there are more of you. 😅💓

Not sober currently. But think about it.
What happened to all your mates when you stopped? Did they dump you (because you make them feel guilty for drinking)? And what if your wife drinks too?

When I first got sober, I decided to take myself out of the game because I didn't trust myself. That was almost three years ago, I've been freelance since. Today is my first day back at an agency.

AA meetings on or near campus?

4 years sober today. So much to reflect on, not least of which how important it is to “get comfortable getting uncomfortable”. In my experience, it’s truly the only way forward.

Sending strength to you all 🖤

Monday check in. How’s everyone doing?

Hey does anyone have suggestions for meetings in North Brooklyn/Williamsburg for a first timer ? Thanks so much in advance!

How did everyone handle last night / how are you continuing to manage this week? Sending strength to all of you. It hasn’t been easy.

Going into my first weekend sober. Kind of nervous TBH. I know I can do because I've decided I'm going to do it, but I will definitely be feeling temptation. Wish me luck and share your coping strategies
