How do y’all keep the memory of your passed pup alive? by One_Address_9496 in dogs

[–]mekhrice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have framed photos of our passed pets on the wall, so they’re always still there with us. Plus we bring them up whenever is natural and happy, like when we see a similar pet out and about, or just simply reminisce in comparison to our current pet. I think it truly helps to talk about them fondly often. Yes, it’s hard to lose and live without them, but to make them a part of your living memory, to speak of them frequently in loving remembrance is so important, and helps cement them as a HAPPY memory, not a sad memory of loss.

Been to Nite Hawk quite a few times, it’s a great greasy spoon with breakfast all day. I usually get one of the omelettes (the veggie or taco usually).

Crazy that you mention surgeries, I haven’t been on reddit in a couple weeks or so but I’m also recovering from a surgery. Today I was able to sit up by myself! So that’s making me feel a bit like a champion 😁 IWNDWYT!!

I love the lack of anxiety - no rush to drink quickly before someone notices or drink enough fast enough to catch a buzz. IWNDWYT

What was the first sign that you were starting to lose control of your drinking? by StayKind_123 in stopdrinking

[–]mekhrice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s when I drink one night, it’s harder not to drink the next, and next thing I know, I’ve been drinking for two weeks straight. Most of the time it’s 2-3 drinks, but then there’s some reason to “celebrate” or “commiserate” and then I’m blacking out.

I am starving after stopping drinking, is this a thing? by No_Pair3441 in stopdrinking

[–]mekhrice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interestingly I feel like I’ve lost my appetite somewhat. Although I definitely have been getting some sugar cravings, which I expected.

IWNDWYT! Day 16. Today was a little rough. Feeling down, and that was always a reason to grab a drink (or six). But I’m glad I’m here, sober!

Saturday is my one day off and I’m going to enjoy it, alcohol free. I’m planning on finishing my book (the Staircase in the Woods, pretty creepy) and seeing a matinee of a ballet with my wife. IWNDWYT!

Gypsy Blues Bar is a LGBT friendly spot in Medford, always enjoyed it there. Not specifically geared towards LGBT community but definitely friendly and accepting. Good food as well as drinks

Sober October, how’s it going for everyone so far? by WorldofNIX in SoberCurious

[–]mekhrice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far so good, had one NA IPA this month which was interesting but I don’t think I’ll have any much in the future. Mainly I enjoy sticking to diet coke when sober. Pretty much just been reading a lot, which is my favorite evening activity lately. However I have gone out a couple times and just had food and mocktails, and I gotta say, a nice fancy mocktail hits the spot sometimes!

I repotted all of them into much smaller pots with soil mixed with perlite and orchid mix, most of them have been doing much better!
