Overwatering

Unfortunately, being a noob and all, I overwatered two of my plants. One is worse than the other, and another drooper I have is doing so because I had to flush it at the beginning of the week.

So my question, once you diagnose overwatering, how do you fix it? I've been putting holes in the soil so oxygen can get deeper, and adding two tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide to the distilled water, so I can get some O2 to the roots.

I've recently transitioned to the lift method to determine when to water, along with a moisture meter. I've let the drooping plants go dry as a bone, allowing the soil to pull away from the pot. However, the droop remains. What should I do?
 
if you are 100% it is over watering, just make sure you have plenty of holes in the bototm of your pot for drainage and let it dry out and it should go away
 
Those look pretty decent to me, not too droopy at all. Some damage on the bottom of second pic, but I'm not sure it's overwatering. Just let it dry out like conepuller sez, stop with the peroxide, and water/feed normally. If damage continues, consider a nute problem, you say you are using distilled - possibly Cal/Mag deficiency?

For an example of what I consider drooping, look at the left plant compared to the two others, that is thirsty.

I think they look great. Ya maybe over watering a tad. Just let the soil get dry/dry bone ass dry and then water it. They look like they have been fed well.
