We have a tankless water heater. We initially replaced the cartridge in the shower faucet (single lever) because it was becoming more and more difficult to regulate the water temperature. After replacing the cartridge, the shower dripped incessantly so the plumber replaced with a different cartridge....and then a 3rd. The drip was fixed. But now the shower turns on fully but ONLY when hot water runs from any other faucet in the condo....washer, kitchen, 2nd bath, disihwasher, kitchen sink. If I switch on the cold water so that both hot and cold are on, the shower stops running.
You did not say what brand and model - that makes it tough to answer intelligently.
I would have to guess, from the other faucet use factor (meaning only works with decreased pressure in hot lines) and stops when cold is turned on, i would guess either the cartridge is installed upside down (some can be), or the temperature control setting is set all the way to the cold setting or limit - so the cartridge limiter (sounds like this is a self-regulating type, designed to maintain constant temperature even as the incoming water cools down as the water heater starts recharging) is shutting down the flow - either because the limit screw/knob is set all the way cold, or because the hot and cold sides are swapped so you confused the heck out of its brain !
Guess it could also be the wrong model cartridge - again.
Depending on brand, I guess it is also possible that the lever itself was installed off-center, so what you think is turning on to full cold is actually off, etc. Might just need to have lever taken off and replaced correctly on the shaft - if this is a shaft that allows more than one installation setting. Some are oval to prevent more than one position, some round or splined or octagonal so have many angles of rotation they can be installed at.
I would say, after 3 - no now 4 attempts coming up, maybe you need to get a refund from the first plumber for all but the final cartridge itself (if it turns out to be the correct one - else for that too), and find a plumber who knows how to install and adjust unitized self-regulating cartridge shower control valves.
And after all is said and done,undoubtedly time for an appropriate Review on AL.

I may have failed you when I first answered - depending on the type of cartridge, it is possible you have excessive water pressure, so the pressure in the system is ramming the cartridge full off UNLESS hot water is drawn at another point to reduce the pressure at the shower. When you turn on the cold, that would introduce the cold water pressure at the cartridge also, thus pushing it closed again.
Easy thing to check - buy a thread-on pressure gage with hose thread for about $10 and put it on any hose-threaded faucet in the house EXCEPT ones on a steam or hydronic heating system - those are low pressure. Outside hose bib (be sure to rewinterize if applicable), washer connections, drain on hot water heater (watch out you do not spray and burn yourself) are likely connection points.
Household pressure should definitely not be over 70 psi and generally not over 50 - you would have to check manufacturer literature (probably in instructions for cartridges) on maximum operating pressure for the valve, but if over about 50 psi I would suspect this as a possible cause.
Another thing to check - so I actually missed on two p[ossible causes for you - it may be your control valve is working right, but if you have an adjustable spray head like a Waterpik or such, or especially if a handheld spray nozzle, the valves in them usually work in a piston mode, so the valve liming up or getting stuck can cause this sort of behavior. Carefully unscrew the head (without turning the pipe coming out of the wall) and see if the water flows correctly with the shower head off - if so, that is the problem, and usually better and cheaper to replace than try to fix.
Sorry - when I first answered must have been late at night so the old gray matter was not fully functioning.

Samson Young's Practice
Samson Young's artistic practice grew out of the strong foundations of his classical training as a musician and composer. His interest in historical and sociopolitical subjects, and his skill in breaking these into components of music consisting of beats and signs, allow him to reveal the political nature of sound and to connect it with history, place, and time in a unique way. He does not limit himself to any particular medium or format, but retains a formal, rigorous approach to sound, as a composer would – this is evident in his works.
In recent years, Samson Young has established himself as a multidisciplinary artist, with exhibitions in major art institutions around the world. Each time, he has created exciting new works, including a live sound performance in Nocturne (2015), a mixed-media installation in Mastery of Language Affords Remarkable Power (2016), and a multimedia walk with site-specific video and live performance elements in So You Are Old by the Time You Reach the Island (2016). These works offer a glimpse into Young's diverse interests, including the history and politics of Western music-writing systems, the ambiguous relationship between sound and warfare, and the history and making of bells as artefacts that define ways of uniting or separating communities and individuals. It has been interesting to see Young translate his compositional techniques and procedures in a cross-cultural context, to explore social, philosophical, and political questions within the realm of contemporary art.
In addition to its distinct sonic qualities, Young's work has always had an element of experimentation. It is underpinned by extensive research and takes various forms, such as drawings, objects, and sound and video recordings. Examining his work in detail, one can also catch a glimpse of his unique way of thinking – how his thoughts germinate and develop organically, like a spider's web that stretches outward, catching ideas along the way.

to be warm and cloudy possible rain. Felt a little better yesterday. Got my nortriptyline back which helps my fibro. I always forget how much until I am without it. Have been double dosing my Neurontin in the a.m. and saving my single dose for the p.m. It seems to help some of my foot and leg pain.
Went to the doctor which really is a useless visit. All they can do is write general scripts and give out referrals. He does absolutely nothing for me unless it is something simple that a GP would take care of. I would like to get out of a state run clinic. I want to get into a private practice. I have an appt to see my ortho I know he will give me some pain pills for my knees.
Going to get my tags for my car today and Jared's ID. He needs that for school. He has already taken one of the GED tests and did even better than he did on the practice test. He will graduate on time I believe. How wonderful for him. I know everybody has a graduation party and while I would like to do that for him it is not something I can afford. Maybe take him somewhere special.
I am ready to start putting up my fence but I have to come up with $50 for the permit which I don't have. It is mud season perfect for fence installation. I don't have it.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes may boycott The Oscars ceremonies because they haven't gotten over Oscar host Anne Hathaway's scathing parody of Katie on "Saturday Night Live."
It hard seems possible since Tom is such a fan of parody, but London's Daily Mail reports that Cruise and Holmes want to avoid any awkward red carpet confrontation with Hathaway.
"Tom and Katie don't want to have to cross paths with Anne," a Hollywood source told the newspaper.
"They used to be friends and took Anne to a Tina Turner concert in 2008 when Anne split up from her boyfriend Raffaello Follieri.
"Katie feels they were really supportive at a difficult time so she feels let down that Anne took to national TV to make fun of her," the source claims.
The Hollywood A-List couple are also supposedly miffed because Anne never warned them she was doing the skit, which aired in November.
Of course, it could be also because neither Cruise nor Holmes are likely to be nominated for any awards this year.
In any event, Anne's impersonation of Holmes as she was being interviewed by "Miley Cyrus" in the skit was perhaps, a little too on.
She had Katie's mannerisms down cold, complete with hair twisting and flipping.
The portrayal was described as "intense yet vapid."
"The whole thing has left a sour taste with Tom," adds the source.
A spokesman for Cruise told the newspaper that neither Tom nor Katie has committed too attend the Oscars yet… because of "shooting schedules."
Talk about thin skinned.

Functional analysis is a branch of mathematical analysis, the core of which is formed by the study of vector spaces endowed with some kind of limit-related structure (e.g. inner product, norm, topology, etc.) and the linear operators acting upon these spaces and respecting these structures in a suitable sense. The historical roots of functional analysis lie in the study of spaces of functions and the formulation of properties of transformations of functions such as the Fourier transform as transformations defining continuous, unitary etc. operators between function spaces. This point of view turned out to be particularly useful for the study of differential and integral equations.
The usage of the word functional goes back to the calculus of variations, implying a function whose argument is a function and the name was first used in Hadamard's 1910 book on that subject. However, the general concept of a functional had previously been introduced in 1887 by the Italian mathematician and physicist Vito Volterra. The theory of nonlinear functionals was continued by students of Hadamard, in particular Fréchet and Lévy. Hadamard also founded the modern school of linear functional analysis further developed by Riesz and the group of Polish mathematicians around Stefan Banach.
In modern introductory texts to functional analysis, the subject is seen as the study of vector spaces endowed with a topology, in particular infinite-dimensional spaces. In contrast, linear algebra deals mostly with finite-dimensional spaces, and does not use topology. An important part of functional analysis is the extension of the theory of measure, integration, and probability to infinite dimensional spaces, also known as infinite dimensional analysis.
The basic and historically first class of spaces studied in functional analysis are complete normed vector spaces over the real or complex numbers. Such spaces are called Banach spaces. An important example is a Hilbert space, where the norm arises from an inner product. These spaces are of fundamental importance in many areas, including the mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics.
More generally, functional analysis includes the study of Fréchet spaces and other topological vector spaces not endowed with a norm.
An important object of study in functional analysis are the continuous linear operators defined on Banach and Hilbert spaces. These lead naturally to the definition of C*-algebras and other operator algebras.
Hilbert spaces can be completely classified: there is a unique Hilbert space up to isomorphism for every cardinality of the orthonormal basis. Finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces are fully understood in linear algebra, and infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert spaces are isomorphic to \ell^{\,2}(\aleph_0)\,. Separability being important for applications, functional analysis of Hilbert spaces consequently mostly deals with this space. One of the open problems in functional analysis is to prove that every bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space has a proper invariant subspace. Many special cases of this invariant subspace problem have already been proven.
General Banach spaces are more complicated than Hilbert spaces, and cannot be classified in such a simple manner as those. In particular, many Banach spaces lack a notion analogous to an orthonormal basis.
Examples of Banach spaces are L^{\,p}-spaces for any real number p\geq1 . Given also a measure \mu on set X, then L^{\,p}(X), sometimes also denoted L^{\,p}(X,\mu) or L^{\,p}(\mu), has as its vectors equivalence classes [\,f\,] of measurable functions whose absolute value's p-th power has finite integral, that is, functions f\, for which one has
If \mu is the counting measure, then the integral may be replaced by a sum. That is, we require
Then it is not necessary to deal with equivalence classes, and the space is denoted \ell^{\ p}(X), written more simply \,\ell^{\,p\ } in the case when X is the set of non-negative integers.
In Banach spaces, a large part of the study involves the dual space: the space of all continuous linear maps from the space into its underlying field, so-called functionals. A Banach space can be canonically identified with a subspace of its bidual, which is the dual of its dual space. The corresponding map is an isometry but in general not onto. A general Banach space and its bidual need not even be isometrically isomorphic in any way, contrary to the finite-dimensional situation. This is explained in the dual space article.
Also, the notion of derivative can be extended to arbitrary functions between Banach spaces. See, for instance, the Fréchet derivative article.
Important results of functional analysis include:
The uniform boundedness principle or Banach–Steinhaus theorem is one of the fundamental results in functional analysis. Together with the Hahn–Banach theorem and the open mapping theorem, it is considered one of the cornerstones of the field. In its basic form, it asserts that for a family of continuous linear operators (and thus bounded operators) whose domain is a Banach space, pointwise boundedness is equivalent to uniform boundedness in operator norm.
The theorem was first published in 1927 by Stefan Banach and Hugo Steinhaus but it was also proven independently by Hans Hahn.
Theorem (Uniform Boundedness Principle). Let X be a Banach space and Y be a normed vector space. Suppose that F is a collection of continuous linear operators from X to Y. If for all x in X one has
\sup\nolimits_{T \in F} \|T(x)\|_Y < \infty,
\sup\nolimits_{T \in F} \|T\|_{B(X,Y)} < \infty.
There are many theorems known as the spectral theorem, but one in particular has many applications in functional analysis. Let A be the operator of multiplication by t on L2[0, 1], that is
Theorem:[1] Let A be a bounded self-adjoint operator on a Hilbert space H. Then there is a measure space (X, Σ, μ) and a real-valued essentially bounded measurable function f on X and a unitary operator U:H → L2μ(X) such that
where T is the multiplication operator:
and \|T\| = \|f\|_\infty
This is the beginning of the vast research area of functional analysis called operator theory; see also the spectral measure.
There is also an analogous spectral theorem for bounded normal operators on Hilbert spaces. The only difference in the conclusion is that now f may be complex-valued.
The Hahn–Banach theorem is a central tool in functional analysis. It allows the extension of bounded linear functionals defined on a subspace of some vector space to the whole space, and it also shows that there are "enough" continuous linear functionals defined on every normed vector space to make the study of the dual space "interesting".
Hahn–Banach theorem:[2] If p : V → R is a sublinear function, and φ : U → R is a linear functional on a linear subspace U ⊆ V which is dominated by p on U, i.e.
then there exists a linear extension ψ : V → R of φ to the whole space V, i.e., there exists a linear functional ψ such that
The open mapping theorem, also known as the Banach–Schauder theorem (named after Stefan Banach and Juliusz Schauder), is a fundamental result which states that if a continuous linear operator between Banach spaces is surjective then it is an open map. More precisely,:[2]
The proof uses the Baire category theorem, and completeness of both X and Y is essential to the theorem. The statement of the theorem is no longer true if either space is just assumed to be a normed space, but is true if X and Y are taken to be Fréchet spaces.
The closed graph theorem states the following: If X is a topological space and Y is a compact Hausdorff space, then the graph of a linear map T from X to Y is closed if and only if T is continuous.[3]
List of functional analysis topics.
Most spaces considered in functional analysis have infinite dimension. To show the existence of a vector space basis for such spaces may require Zorn's lemma. However, a somewhat different concept, Schauder basis, is usually more relevant in functional analysis. Many very important theorems require the Hahn–Banach theorem, usually proved using axiom of choice, although the strictly weaker Boolean prime ideal theorem suffices. The Baire category theorem, needed to prove many important theorems, also requires a form of axiom of choice.

What Is Financial Planning
Financial planning simply put is the process that you use to help you make sensible decisions about your money to help you achieve your goals. A financial plan will consist of several different components including expenses, and projections. It also involves putting measures in place to ensure that your financial well being is taking care of.
The Six Steps of Financial Planning
A Financial Plan will consist of 6 steps:
Step 1: Think about the goals that you want to achieve in life. Consider all of the necessary expenses that will derive from these goals.
Step 2: Figure Out Your Current Situation. Write out what assets and liabilities you have. Write down anybody that you owe and any investments you have.
Step 3: Look Closely At Your Current Financial Position. This means looking at how close you are to achieving your goals that you have set.
Step 4: Develop your plan. This can be done on your own or with a financial adviser. Work out a road map for achieving SMART goals. Discuss with your adviser to determine if your goals are attainable or not given your current situation.
Step 5: Put your plan to the test. Implement it. Make the changes that you outlined in your plan and make a difference. A plan is nothing without action behind it.
Step 6: Monitor the plan and review the results at least once a year. If something is not working, then take some time and make adjustments where needed. Remember this is your plan, and as such it should be tailored to what works best for you. There is no need to stick with a plan that works for someone else but is ruining you.
Do You Need A Financial Advisor
A financial plan can be created and monitored by you alone. There is no mandate that you get a financial advisor to help you get your finances in order. There is huge benefit to working with a financial planner though. A financial planner understands the nuances needed to help you get where you want to go. As with all experts, it helps to consult with them to avoid pitfalls that a novice wouldn't consider or be prepared for.
So What is The Difference Between a Financial Planner and A Financial Adviser
A financial adviser is a professional that helps or advises a person or company to create a program to meet long-term financial goals. A financial planner is a type of financial adviser that specializes in a specific part of the financial suite. Financial planners are the individuals that help you come up with specific plans to help you achieve your goals. Further, the financial planner may hold various licenses or designations.

Duterte tells Obama 'you can go to hell,' warns of breakup
U.S. Marines Brig. Gen. John Jansen, on the stage at left, of the 3rd Marine Expeditionary Brigade and Maj. Gen. Andre Costales, center, Commandant of the Philippine Marines Corps, watch the colors at the opening ceremony for the 33rd joint U.S.-Philippines amphibious landing exercises dubbed PHIBLEX at the marines corps in suburban Taguig city, east of Manila, Philippines Tuesday Oct. 4, 2016. President Rodrigo Duterte said he was giving notice to the United States, his country's long-standing ally, that joint exercises between Filipino and American troops this week will be the last such drills. He told the Filipino community in Hanoi, Vietnam's capital, last week that he will maintain the military alliance with the U.S. because of the countries' 1951 defense treaty. But he said this week's exercises will proceed only because he did not want to embarrass his defense secretary. (AP Photo/Bullit Marquez)

Today in the mail, I received my "Mixed Media Inspiration Deck" by Kiala Givehand. These cards are to be used to prompt you if you are stuck - which I always am! So, I drew four cards from the deck - and here's what they said!
I had just gotten some new stencils from Stencil Girl - and I was wanting to use them, so here they are! The worst part for me was writing with paint and a paintbrush. I have such difficulty, that I don't like to do it. But, in the spirit of the cards, I did - but I had to go over the letters later with a black pen. Still don't like it, but, Oh Well - it is what it is! I certainly will do it again - there are 52 prompts, so what could go wrong? Ha!

Days Gone secured the seventh biggest Sony-published debut in US history, but still couldn't stop the Mortal Kombat 11 juggernaut, which topped the respective sales charts for all four formats it released on. According to NPD data, the brutal brawler is already the second best-selling title of 2019 in America, despite only being available for a handful of the tracked period's days.
There's plenty for Bend Studio to be proud of, however, as Deacon St John's inaugural adventure is already the developer's best-selling game of all-time in terms of revenue. The platform holder can be equally proud of MLB The Show 19, which finished third in the April 2019 sales chart, and continues to be the best-selling entry in the franchise on a time-aligned basis.
As anticipated, the Nintendo Switch once again dominated hardware sales, with no indication of how the PlayStation 4 fared in comparison. Unless there are any price adjustments, we really can't see Sony's console winning back its crown this year, so the Japanese giant may have to settle for second place temporarily. Of course, it'll be eager to take back the throne when the PS5 drops.

A December 30th press release from We Ask America:
Consensus: Romney
Our last presidential tracking poll in Iowa mirrors what most others are showing in their polling: Mitt Romney may be finally breaking through the clutter. And while Romney's detractors will undoubtedly snort in derision about his lackluster numbers in the head-to-head category, it gets more interesting when we asked them: "No matter who you support, which candidate do you think will ultimately be the GOP candidate for president?"
First , here are the top-line results from our December 29, 2011 poll of 889 Iowa Republicans who confirmed they plan to participate in a caucus. The first column is the normal head-to-head results, while the second column shows who the poll participants think will ultimately prevail:
While many in the media seem to be focusing on the move up the food chain by former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum and the falling numbers for the last flavor-of-the-day Ron Paul, Romney seems finally to be breaking through as Iowa Republicans get closer to Caucus Day. Perhaps more important is the fact that 39 percent of all poll participants believe that Romney will ultimately be the flag carrier for the GOP in the fall.
Let's see how each candidate's supporters responded to the "who will ultimately win" question in the crosstab below. (It can be a little confusing reading this…here's an example: reading left to right, the first row indicates that 51% of the people who say they will support Michelle Bachmann in a caucus believe that she will indeed be the ultimate winner, while 5 percent of those will vote for her believe that Newt Gingrich will ultimately win, and 2 percent think Huntsman will win…and so on.) Here's the table:
Of course, the madcap Iowa caucus system offers lots of chances for rapid ascent and descent–and bad weather can improve the prospects of those candidates with good corn-fed organizations…like Ron Paul. Plus, time will certainly tell whether the newly found popularity of Santorum will be lasting or not.
But maybe–just maybe–Mitt Romney will finally begin to fulfill the destiny so many others have predicted for him.
Remember that rounding each entry to the nearest whole number leads to some columns or rows not adding up exactly to 100%.
NOTE: This poll was paid for by We Ask America. The information has not been shared with any public official, candidate, cause or campaign.

A great win for the All Blacks last night in the Rugby World Cup semi final.
Very well planned.
Very well executed.
Very well done All Blacks – players, coaches and support staff.
And good on the Wallabies, they did well to get as far as the semi and kept trying gallantly but this was one game and one RWC they just weren't good enough.


text: Rotweiler 501 #121 Posted March 19, 2016 I do think that many of the posters into this thread have missed the point. The white Temple" is not a temple in the usual Thai Buddhist sense. It was established by a man who decided he could do something with an almost dead property. He created a tourist attraction. People should stop referring to it as the temple, and rather simply call it the white tourist attraction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Kean faces sack if Blackburn Rovers lose three in a row
Last updated on .From the section Football
Blackburn Rovers manager Steve Kean has been warned he will be sacked if he loses three games in a row early on in the new Championship season.
He faced criticism from some Blackburn fans, who have staged regular protests against him and the club's owners.
Director of football Shebby Singh said: "If, after three games, we have dropped nine points, then we'll only have a 50% chance of getting promoted."
Blackburn begin their Championship campaign away to Ipswich before home games against Hull and Leicester.
Kean has signed seven players since being relegated from the top flight, including Leon Best for £3m,Danny Murphy on a free transfer and Dickson Etuhu for an undisclosed fee.
Singh, a former Malaysian international player who was brought to Ewood Park by the club's owners Venky's in June, added: "I was possibly one of the worst critics [of Kean] last season.
"I'm sure the manager didn't like me much, but I say it as it is.
"I am working with the infrastructure that is already there and people need to prove to me that they can do their jobs."
In May, Singh wrote a column for the New Paper in Singapore in which he said Kean should be sacked, but he said he will not judge the manager on what has happened in the past.
Asked if he has the power to sack Kean, Singh said: "Yes. If the results are not forthcoming, I put the pressure on the manager and the players."


text: What IS he trying to say here? I mean…he's trying to imply that the purposes underneath are in Hamlet's interests and altruistic. But we know (and Hamlet probably knows too) that his purposes are in no way in Hamlet's interest. So it's funny to bring up the underlying motives – given how dark those motives actually are. But I guess this is a standard practice in lies…you try to deflect from the lie by stating the direct opposite of the lie…which has a funny way of pointing at the lie. It is tricky business being a villain.

A ROM maker company started out in the name of Xiaomi a handful years back. How much this young company has achieved in just 4 years is something truly remarkable. It now finds itself at the third position in the list of the top smartphone manufacturers worldwide. It is certainly something that would make all eight co-founders of the company more than just proud; the company not only rose through ranks at breakneck speed, but it also defied odds to start shaping up as a truly global company.
It isn't often that you hear so much about a Chinese company. Most often, Chinese companies that are good at manufacturing something often sell out to larger brands to be their OEM, i.e., produce devices for other brand names. Xiaomi, however, didn't fall prey to this usual practice. Not only did it make some quality phones, it also worked out a way to sell the devices in a way so that demand is, at all times, higher than supply. Xiaomi finally started looking out of the Chinese sub-continent earlier this year to foray into markets such as India, Singapore and Malaysia. And boy, Xiaomi doesn't only survive in those markets, but it thrives. Take for example India; the company has been selling more than 50,000 units of its popular Redmi 1S smartphone every week consistently for the past two months.
Earlier this year, Xiaomi even ousted Samsung and Apple to be the #1 maker by volume in its home country of China. Considering the rate at which it is growing, #3 worldwide is no surprise; but if you take into account the company's background and the way it has operated, it certainly makes for quite a success story. However, Xiaomi still is better at its home games than away ones; according to sources, the 14.6 million out of the 15.1 million smartphones it sold this year were in the Chinese market.
Ongoing price wars between international and Chinese makers have resulted in some seriously VFM smartphones being churned out; the One from startup OnePlus, and the Xiaomi Mi 4 are only a couple such examples. We're hoping to see a lot more action from Xiaomi not only in South Asia, but also in Europe (where a lot of its devices inevitably end up thanks to resellers) and the US. Xiaomi does have a couple of things to take care before eyeing western markets though; the most important of which is the security issues it has been facing, and secondly, its supply chains which are often found lacking.

Eight awards last vintage (including four Golds) and a Gold already for the bold, spicy 2019. Ancient bush vines of the region's hero grape, Monastrell, high in Jumilla, produce intense fruit, flattered in this velvet textured red by sweet spicy oak.
Tasting notes
Super-concentrated black fruit flavours with an edge of spice
Sweet mocha, blackberry and vanilla aromas
More information
Everyone loves a bargain, but if you also love BIG fruity reds you should head to Jumilla. This forgotten region is home to "some of the oldest and most concentrated Monastrell in Spain, producing full bodied reds that are just as good as most Bandols, and sell at half the price" (Tim Atkin MW). Camino de Seda ('Silk Road') comes from a winery just off this famous route that brought wealth and splendour to the region over 500 years ago. The vineyards are still surrounded by mulberry trees, the silkworms' favourite dwelling place. Crafted by Scottish born winemaker Pamela Geddes, the wine is packed with intense black fruit, complemented by notes of vanilla spice. Enjoy by itself, or with pork loin or lamb casserole. Ideal at a barbecue too.

The human brain is phenomenal at recognizing patterns and anticipating outcomes. In fact, our ability to do this, is arguably what puts us at the top of the food chain. That being said, why can it be increasingly difficult to recognize and change our own self-destructive behavior?
When you are a small child, in the earliest years of school, people are taught to recognize patterns; a repeated design. We learn this skill so young because it is a very fundamental tool for the rest of our lives and not just in math or science.
As adults, this skill helps us in countless ways, so much so you might often forget that you use it.
Every morning you drive to work, you happen to get caught in the early morning school zone drop-off right by your house making you late for work. This is a pattern after it happens often enough, and you realize that you can't continue this pattern of being late for work.
You resolve yourself to leave ten minutes earlier every day. Yes, this alters the pattern, but you need different results.
(hmm...I am guessing you have found a similar quote somewhere like this in your recovery; maybe there is some weight to it.)
So the next morning, and every morning after, you leave earlier, miss the school zone chaos, arrive to work on time, and thus, change the pattern to achieve the desired results.
It's always easier said than done when it comes to breaking a habit of any kind, but lucky for you, when you see the pattern, it's easier to counter it in the future and act accordingly.
Although, what does that mean for our decisions, even after we see a pattern of behavior?
As a recovering alcoholic, I know sometimes we still struggle with the inability to make even the simplest decisions that others would have no second thought to:
- pizza or tacos is turmoil
- chocolate or vanilla is torture
- horror or comedy is a toss-up
- pepsi or coke; still not difficult for anyone ;-}
The struggle is real!!
It's not just you, I promise. Seriously, not only do all serious alcoholics face this, but there is a very real, very scientific reason behind this.
The part of your brain that problem-solves and makes decisions is the same part of the brain that is influenced by alcohol.
Go figure!!
Now, can you see a pattern, there?
So what is the answer? Why all this information about patterns and what does it have to do with recovery? Well, I'm happy to tell you, the answer is more beautiful than you have been led to think.
I have found the answer in mosaics. Not unlike a classic mosaic on a basilica wall, we too can lose sight of the bigger picture when we narrowly focus on our life with a magnifying glass.
You have to be open to taking a step back to really see what our patterns are and how to break the ones that are no longer serving us in a way that is beneficial.
When we are in recovery, we sometimes get the itch to drink, simply because of habit, or the purposes of this blog, out of a pattern. Needless to say, drinking definitely hasn't served us well in a long time.
If you think of it in that context we all had our own patterns of drinking. Mine was very heavy, very reclusive because eventually, it became impossible to disguise, and very, very, VERY consistantly. I used alcohol to reward myself for doing things that were scary or sad and after a while one night wasn't enough of a reward.
I just wanted more.
Before I knew it, I was taking shots of straight vodka in the morning just to chase away a potential hangover, and buying a half gallon of liquor every other day. You can't imagine how difficult of a pattern that was to break.
Especially because when your coping mechanism is gone, for some reason it seems like THAT is the time when the world is crashing down on you. How many times have you thought;
- "Really, now, of all the times this could happen?! Are you f***ing kidding me?!"
- "This couldn't have happened at a better time!" (insert sarcasm)
- "It's like the world knows I'm trying to quit or something!"
Although, when you are in recovery, sometimes these triggers arise, and it's like a roadblock!! But guess what, that's mostly in your head to. The truth is bad stuff is going to happen in your life; it's a fact. Just as adversely though, good things will happen.
When you take away your pattern of coping, your brain actually kinda freaks out. Turns out that all that drinking we have been doing has really messed with our brain and for whatever reason sends our anxiety into overdrive. You have trained your brain to function on alcohol and you, being the survivor you are, adapted to that self-abuse.
It's just a matter of rewiring like an aux outlet on your TV; unplugging yourself from addiction and plugging yourself into an outlet that is not alcohol.
So, here is my go-to when it comes to any triggers pop up. A NEW "pattern" that anyone can adapt to combat stress, in recovery or otherwise.
This actually requires a disposable object you can easily move in your hands. (Heavy on the disposable part) Since I have a million Bic pens I have used those, I have even once used a ragged old unmatched sock, but you can use almost anything. It should be small, the easier to move the better, though not entirely weightless;
- toothpick
- wad of paper
- a rock
(If it's an item that IS disposable do this exercise over a trash can, if you choose a rock, make sure it is a rock that you might not encounter on a daily basis -not one on any of your typical walking routes)
Pick up your object and imagine that your anxiety and stress begin to flow like water from you into that item. Fill the item with all of that negativity.
Imagine the object nearly about to burst, heavy with the weight of that anxiety and stress and desire to drink that you shoved into it. Imagine every last drop of those emotions draining from you to the object until there is none of it left in you, when it is all inside the item that is still in your hand and heavy with weight.
Move it around in your hands, play with it. YOU are in control!
Look at that pitiful object, now at your mercy bouncing between your palms as if it was a toy....and just....let it go.
Literally, drop your item. Drop all the emotion that it had in it, and simply let go.
I say it's better to do this over a trash can because I find it to be more cleansing to take the trash out without touching that item again once you have let go.
It's a very powerful ritual that I happened to learn around the age of twelve and it's never steered me wrong.
If you look for the pattern and are willing to new options, you can only find your way through. Remember, you are a survivor, that is what you are made for, so stop stunting your own growth by repeating the same destructive behavior
I hope you have come away with a little more knowledge about yourself, your recovery and the control you have over it.
Step by step we will get through this #lifeonthesoberside
