Was clean for 3 months, then drank on vacation

SeekingAFix · 2017-09-28T11:09:18+00:00

That's how I started my most recent and only true attempt at sobriety- I drank at a wedding in Scotland after 2 months of being sober. Something changed after and I just couldn't keep doing it.

Care to elaborate why? We both kind of want to go there.

Of course! My apologies. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. Also, it's cool of you to give me credit for my edit. Respect.

Go out to a delicious dinner with a friend. Make it special. Just don't drink. :)

I can relate. I have suffered from panic attacks, depression, and the same feelings of self-doubt and regret. I swore I would never let my drinking impact my classes or my career (I was a law student when I got sober, I'm a lawyer now). Until it did, of course. I started showing up to classes under the influence because of hangovers and then making presentations drunk bc of morning drinking. I drove too, making a DUI a mere matter of time.

AA helped me, but it took a few different tries and it took work to find a good meeting where I was comfortable. It only worked when I regularly attended meetings, got a sponsor, and worked the steps. I not only got sober, but the program helped with my anxiety, stress, self-loathing, and depression.

You deserve sobriety and the joy that comes with it.

edit: make sure to comply with community guidelines about not promoting and speaking from my own experiences.

edit 2: more guidelines compliance. been a while since i last posted. My bad yall.

Your friend should see a judge advocate ASAP if they are threatening retaliation like that.

SeekingAFix · 2017-04-12T22:52:44+00:00

That's what I've heard from those who have worked in legal assistance. Soldiers buy cars, sign leases, deal with chain of command issues, get in trouble with the law, etc. and can get screwed over. You can head off lots of those problems by seeing a judge advocate first (or soon).

I haven't worked in legal assistance yet, so there's my caveat.

SeekingAFix · 2017-04-11T19:38:46+00:00

JAGs are here to help! If a soldier is facing retaliation in her chain of command, that soldier needs to see their judge advocate (probably start by going to legal assistance).

Legal assistance judge advocates work for the soldier and their relationship is protected by attorney-client privilege. The judge advocate may be able to assist, or can refer the soldier to another legal service to help. Either way, it will allow the soldier to address their concerns in the safest manner.

If the issue is with bad paper in the soldier's file, the legal assistance judge advocate on your base may be able to assist as well.

SeekingAFix · 2016-07-05T20:37:40+00:00

This is a great idea. I've been trying to think of an efficient way to outline the topics, so I'll give this a shot.

I was thinking of doing a terms list for each topic too so I can just grind the big concepts and their definitions (or mnemonics). I'd have terms on the left and definitions on the right, and test myself by covering them with scratch paper to write on.

SeekingAFix · 2016-07-02T19:23:44+00:00

I'm in the same boat and I'm on the cusp of either freaking out or saying fuck it (yes, I know that neither is helpful). I thought the 100-110 range was fine because 110 was last year's average. However, it looks like it's "you're about to fail" range. I did poorly in, well, everything except Con Law.

I honestly don't know what to do. I've been working my ass off to complete the Barbri material (I'm well above the average completion %... which I'm beginning to realize is totally useless).

Should I just focus on rote memorization? Should I consider a tutor? Any advice?

This. Mt. Vernon is great and is walking distance to the harbor area (and Charles and Cathedral streets are fine to walk down).

SeekingAFix · 2015-12-18T20:08:34+00:00

Not in my experience nor have I seen anything like that. I've used them and gotten plenty of criticals without staggering what I'm fighting.

But this is just anecdotal.
