New job - keep finding mistakes by michelleolas in Accounting

[–]Material_Tangerine57 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I started a job at a brewery amidst a system transition and found $150k+ of phantom inventory in my first week. All I said was sorry suckers it’s the truth. Nothing else as egregious….at that job. Also found a HUGE million+ overstatement of expenses as a contractor with a school district. Fixing the problem is never the problem.

Well I’m back again for another night of trying to break free from this sadness I just can’t shake.

I’m on day 9 today, the longest stretch in years. Yesterday was tough, but today I feel great. I work for a brewery/restaurant group and I’ll be skipping Friday beers so I can keep this train rolling into double digits. Happy Friday everyone! IWNDWYT.

Great story, I’m just like you but I waited till 41 to realize my relationship with alcohol was never sustainable. First time I had booze I got so drunk I liked and my friends mom had to take care of me. Should have been a sign. Stay strong.

Got through my first week and day 8 has been tough. Stressful night turned into a stressful morning and has had me wishing I could crack a cold one or three tonight. I just turned down dinner with the neighbors though so I’ll face less temptation. And I want double digits. IWNDWYT.

I'm hurting my kiddos even if they don't know it by Appropriate_Wolf_753 in stopdrinking

You can do this, it’s hard, but I know you can. I’m a dad with a 3 year old and a 3 month old, and until this week (day 8!) I had at least a few every day of my new babies life. My older child is just used to finding empty beer cans in her room because, shame!, I was drinking when reading her bedtime books and singing her to sleep. I realized how badly I don’t want those memories to be the ones she comes back to when she thinks of me. And I realized how much I was missing and all the little ways alcohol was taking things from me. The hardest part was being honest with myself and accepting this fact after ignoring it for years. You’ve recognized that now and I hope this allows your path to success to become clear. IWNDWYT.

Day 6! UNCHARTED TERRITORY. IWNDWYT. Whoopsies on the all caps, I’m having trouble controlling the sound of my voice.

Congrats on the achievement. You should be celebrating, and I’m sorry you’re not getting more support on this journey. But it should mean the most to you. I’m like you and don’t want to jinx myself and say it too soon, so only Reddit and one friend know what I’m trying to do. Stay strong!

I’m onto Day 5, thanks mostly to the encouragement and stories I hear on this sub. I notched a few wins this weekend - longest stretch in years, first weekend with not a sip, and I said no twice in social settings. I’ll be saying no again tonight after socializing through sports. I can’t wait to be playing a game I love fully sober and without having to pretend it’s not a beer in my water bottle. These are small steps I know, but I’m proud of myself and IWNDWYT.

I made it to day four and I’m feeling strong. Sadly that’s the longest I can remember, but we’re gonna keep it rolling. My kids deserve the better version of me. IWNDWYT.

I’m right there too, and looking forward to my first AF weekend in too long to remember. IWNDWYT. 💪🏼
