article: Before you quit using, meet with your Primary Care Doctor (PCP) to see if you can stop using without medical help. Your body is used to functioning with the alcohol or drugs and stopping on your own can cause severe complications. Ask your doctor how long it will take for you to get the alcohol or drugs out of your system. Typically it takes several days. If your doctor says it's OK to taper on your own, ask a friend to help you during this process. Your friend can watch out for you and help you get to the doctor if tapering on your own doesn't go well. Make sure this person is someone you trust and supportive of your decision to stop using. Stopping cold turkey or all at once can bring on severe withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal may be less severe if you taper down slowly each day. Talk to your doctor about which plan is safe for you. Withdrawal is more than just a bad hangover. Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, shaking, headaches, heart palpitations, insomnia, paranoia, and delusions. Withdrawal can be life-threatening. An example of a slow taper from alcohol is decreasing one beer a day (from twelve to eleven, then eleven to ten). An example of a slow taper for hydrocodone is going from the usual 80 mg a day down to 70 mg the next week, and so on. Cold turkey is going from your usual amount of alcohol or drug to 0. If you're stopping cold turkey, rid your house of all alcohol or drugs. Clear your schedule so you can just focus on tapering. You may not feel well enough to go to work or handle any responsibilities the first few days of your taper. Drink a lot of water during your taper to help rid your body of toxins and reduce headaches. Ginger ale and sparkling water are easier on the digestive system. They are good alternatives to water if you're feeling nauseous. Drink often throughout your taper. Pain relievers, like ibuprofen or acetaminophen, and ice packs applied to your head can also help with headaches. You'll probably feel nauseous during your taper. Simple carbohydrates like crackers, rice and toast are gentle on your stomach. Applesauce and bananas will also keep you nourished and help to calm your stomach. Drinking ginger tea and taking antacids also help with nausea. You might be up for going for a walk, or maybe taking a bath or hot shower makes you feel better. Even if it's watching TV or old movies, take care of yourself during your taper. Tapering on your own is hard. Be kind to yourself if it doesn't go well or you go back to using sometimes this happens, and it means you need a different plan. Talk to your doctor about medically supervised tapering, also known as detox.

article: When you're wearing short shorts, you're showing off your legs to the world. Make sure yours look how you want them to. If you want skinny or muscular thighs, you may need to do some aerobics or strength training to tone them. While it's perfectly fine to want to change how you look, do your best to love yourself as you are. Legs of all shapes and sizes are beautiful. While the choice between hairy and smooth legs is yours to make, keep in mind that hairless legs tend to look longer and more toned. Depending on your body hair pattern, it may also be prudent to wax your inner thighs and/or bikini area. Visible pubic hair can be an embarrassing problem when wearing short shorts. Although winter may be the most famous season for dry skin, many people deal with this issue well into the summer. When accentuating your legs, remember to spend as much time on them as you do your face. Moisturize daily and after each shave to avoid embarrassing flaky skin. Remember that highly-chlorinated pool water can dry out your skin. If you find yourself having this problem, be sure to rinse your skin with normal tap water and a mild soap after every swim.

article:
There are many different ways to do the tutorial and many different philosophies about the best way to go about it. You can hide the tutorial within a story about the player character getting training (aka Fable), or you can simply display instructions (aka Mass Effect). You can even try to hide the tutorial altogether blending it seamlessly into the game or display all of the tutorial all at once. No matter what you do, make sure that it feels natural within your game. The world is the environments in which your player will play the game. How expansive will your world be? How challenging? How will you indicate that an area should be explored? That it shouldn't? These are things you'll need to consider. These are the internal rules of the game. You'll want to decide on a rule system and make sure that it's balanced and consistent. The best way to do this is to look at what other games do right or wrong in this area. The levels are the individual chunks of the game, the "episodes" that the player has to get through to make it to the end of the game. The levels should be engaging and just the right amount of challenging. They should also be physically laid out in a way that makes sense. You'll need to design all the content, like the items that can be interacted with, the characters themselves, the environmental items, etc. This can be extremely time consuming so plan ahead! Try to find clever ways to recycle things without making them seem repetitive. The interface includes things like the menus and UI. You want these to be easy to navigate and natural to use. Take cues from your favorite games but remember that generally the simpler the better. If an 8-year-old can figure it out, you're set. Having controls which feel natural are key to players really enjoying and getting the most out of your game. Remember to keep things simple and streamlined. When in doubt, conform to standardized control systems.
