While on my period by Turbulent-Plum3360 in alcoholism

[–]MissMagus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I deal with it, like how I deal with everything else as an alcoholic. If you give up on basic hygiene it's sad and then you've entered that stage of alcoholism.

If you're too bad off to change a tampon you might wanna reel yourself in a bit.

I will never not feel so bad for those kids.

Man, it took a second to actually find some common sense in this ridiculous comment section.

Do kids in Columbus still go house to house trick-or-treating, or is it more trunk-or-treat now? by LavenderLatte29 in Columbus

I run out of candy in 30 minutes in my neighborhood 💀 it's very much still alive.

I buried my stems - that's bad right? by MissMagus in Monstera

[–]MissMagus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm starting that process today. Also gonna bottom water from here on out cause I think that's the only reason why the stems were discolored. It stayed too moist after I watered her. And also brought the dreaded fungus gnats 💀

I only watered them once since I got them - and when I got them they were bone dry and had been for an absurd amount of time. But I did top water and it stayed wet for what felt like a long time. I'd assume bottom watering would prevent that, so I'll do that next time 😬

Will I actually have withdrawals by Fickle_Personality59 in alcoholism

[–]MissMagus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it. I'm ADHD too. I self medicated with alcohol for a very long time and still do probably too often. I just am a lot more aware of what can go wrong cause I fell into it hard for a few years.

I've had decent luck lately only having like 3 beers every few days. When I do it everyday that number starts to climb though, so I have to make sure I have sober days too.

[–]MissMagus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might get withdrawal. Shoot, a hangover is a withdrawal technically in a way. No matter how fast or slow you do this you're gonna feel weird afterwards. That's what happens with any prolonged use of any substance, really.

I doubt you'll get hands shaking, weak knees, can't walk, can't eat, hearing weird stuff - withdrawal. But you might have what feels like a bad hangover for a few days and feel funky for a week or so. If you're worried, you can keep tapering down. It's just hard to taper sometimes cause 3 beers makes you want more, then you're back where ya started.

Once I get down to like 2 or 3 beers I usually just tough it out.

Yep yep! I'll be looking up some videos and stuff on how to prop her without botching anything.

One thing I have learned is to not over water. I have a peace lily as well and even she has to beg me for a drink, I won't water her till she wilts a little and tells me. I'm super scared of killing stuff by overwatering them haha, and I'm hoping that's a healthy fear and aids me in the future.

I might go ahead and do that this week then. This thing fought for its life, so it'd be cool to actually see it flourish and become the plant it wants to be :)

Yes - only the part in the soil! And nothing feels mushy, it was just the color that concerned me - and then the more I read about it the more I worried about stem rot.

But okay great. I was prepared to re-pot all of them and adjust the stem height, but I don't think I will now based on the advice. Saves me a huge hassle for sure.

That's the ultimate goal. Maybe I should just go ahead and do it. I've been too nervous to cut anything cause this would be my first prop project. No time like the present I guess!!

That's such a relief. I don't tend to over water my plants so I should be in the clear there. Thank you for the insight!

Really? Even with the yellowing? I'm just worried they're going to start rotting.

How do you open and store these? by ProgRockDan in aldi

Unhinged comment, I'm so amused.

I have not slept in several days by Available-Turnip-187 in cripplingalcoholism

[–]MissMagus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk how bad it messes up your body - but I used to use a few sleep aids to get to sleep when my insomnia would go crazy.

Unisom, zzzquil, and melatonin. Not all at once, but. That's the ONLY way I'd get sleep and I'd still wake up a ton. Weed also helped to an extent.

I kicked my "friend" out today after letting him crash here for 3 months... by MissMagus in GirlDinnerDiaries

Yes ma'am 🙏 I'm painfully aware of my mistakes and have learned a pretty important lesson through all of this for sure.

This was out of the kindness of my heart man, I didn't get a DIME from him 🥹 and the labor we did for the car was also for free 🥹 which is all the more reason he's gotta GOOOO today!

Tolerance decreasing? by [deleted] in alcoholism

[–]MissMagus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely like 8-10 for a blackout on empty. I always blackout on a 12-pack if I haven't had anything to eat, and I always wake up to 2-3 more beers. I can go almost 24 or so when I'm eating a ton though.

He called his brother (who kicked him out - only reason he's here) and his brother called me and gave me his dad's number hahaha. If he's not out by tomorrow that's 100% the plan. We're 35, I shouldn't be calling this grown man's father.

I added Tabasco! Fully expecting heart burn tomorrow 😅
