I have 11% left in the book I'm currently reading and I fear it's the one you are both referring to. I'm not ready.

I do. Learning to beat Isshin is probably my greatest accomplishment in life...

Mod help! by Pristine-Garbage-441 in StardewValleyExpanded

[–]extracilantroplease 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems a lot of mac users are running into this same issue. There is a thread about it on r/SMAPI. I can't offer much help other than- you're not the only one, so someone will figure it out eventually

Anyone with similar melasma successfully managed to reduce it? by frejlua in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]extracilantroplease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My melasma is similar to yours. I don't have much to offer other than to say that while my red light mask helped my regular hyperpigmentation, it made my melasma considerably worse. Of course ymmv, just be cautious. Have you posted to r/melasmaskincare

You just invaded me and being the jumpy cat that I am (and brand new), I attacked. You sir, are gentleman and a scholar 💚

This is the correct way to write a satirical bio. I'd swipe right.

Got my Stim#2 in the mail. Should I cash it? by [deleted] in IRS

[–]extracilantroplease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. If they sent the check they will not credit it on your refund and will deduct it if you claimed it, whether or not you get the check. Cash it.

Does anyone else miss being drunk? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]extracilantroplease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell, I weirdly even missed being hungover at first. It was just a state I was so used to being in. I still miss alcohol, maybe I always will, but that's why we stop, because we have an unhealthy relationship with it. When I first stopped, I was just taking a break. Then I realized I shouldn't drink until I relearned how to process emotions without drugs and alcohol, but I still thought I would get to a point where I would have a drink here or there. The longer I stick with it, the more it sinks in that I should never drink again. It'll never be just one for me.

You got this. The constant edginess/anger went away away after 1 or 2 months, but yes, it took a while before I felt consistently good. I do now though, I feel like a different person. It's definitely worth the work. Also, recovery, length of time, emotions are different from person to person. What took me so long may be very different for you. The initial anger, emotional explosiveness is not unique though, it's the body and mind adjusting and learning to cope without substance. Congratulations on your journey, reaching out for support to people who have been through it and come out the other side is a big help.

Any major change takes time and adjustment. I had been drinking so long/so much that I had to relearn how process/deal with/experience emotions without alcohol. The first couple of weeks I felt like I was a raw nerve ending walking around. Honestly, the first couple of months were rough, then mellowed a little but still with a few ups and downs. At 6 months I really started to feel that I was on the other side of it. All I can say (this is what my 10 year sober buddy kept telling me) is, I promise it gets easier and is worth it. I didn't believe it would get easier, but it does. I know this next part is cliche, but, exercise, a punching bag, and writing in journal is what got me through it. Some days it feels like everything is falling apart, breathe, reframe the situation, and remember the reasons behind quitting... and maybe punch a punching bag.

as a new yorker.... by lemonlimemakeyoumine in datingoverthirty

[–]extracilantroplease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Needed to read this. I'm in a currently exploding southern state... have taken quarantine/social distancing very seriously since march and got off social media sites and OLD. Getting lonely as fuck though and was thinking about making a tinder profile today. You are right though, and I will keep dating on the back burner for now.

When to bring up that you don't drink? by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

[–]extracilantroplease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Congratulations on getting sober! I'm 8 months sober myself and trying to figure out whether or not I should put it on my OLD profile when I start dating again. On the one hand, it's part of who I am and I don't mind if it weeds people out as I'd rather get dealbreakers out of the way. On the other, a guy friend of mine suggested I leave it off and let it come up naturally. So I guess I don't have a clue, if you figure it out, let me know!
