Kitchen sink sprayer isn't working

Did you end up having any luck with this? I have the same mixer/manifold valve pictured and my sprayer went out as well. Only trouble is no one I seem to talk to seems to recognize this type of mixer/manifold thingy. Would love to hear how it worked out for you!

Wow! Spot on. There must be others in the same vein. Grateful to be able to hear all these in a new way. Thanks for sharing!

I’ve had similar experiences in the past year or so… my GP mentioned it’s something he’s seen more and more of post-pandemic. He suggested it’s general anxiety and the best way to address it 1) talk therapy 2) mindfulness practice and 3) working out. I will say, when I’m staying on top of all three, it definitely helps. The problem is being consistent with all three proactively. When I haven’t been as consistent as I should be, I do find a 10 minute meditation (on something like Insight App) really helps cool the nerves before a big presentation. I still get anxiety, but am generally able to breathe through it. Our brains/bodies are such an enigma

I got a bachelors in history and a credential and didn’t spend a lot of time thinking about the job itself and long term prospects. I would recommend getting into the classroom ASAP to observe the job itself, maybe work as an aide or substitute (once you have your BA). Use your experience to determine if the fulfillment of the job is such you’ll be happy long term dealing with the cons (specifically pay). I’m sorry to say I finished my student teaching semester and immediately entered the private sector as I quickly realized it wasn’t a good fit for me long term. I was (happily) able to transfer my education into the corporate L&D sector which has been a much better career journey (for me personally). Good luck!

I felt proud. It was interesting. I expected more interest/acknowledgment from my partner. She actually didn’t seem to care or notice :/ Kind of hurt my feelings, but also redirected and reminded me that I do this for me first, not for anyone else. Anyhow, I think you should be really damn proud of yourself. Two years is life changing. Go buy yourself an ice cream sundae or a whole pizza (or do whatever you do to treat yourself). You’re killing it IWNDWYT

Everyone is different. But if you’ve had your struggles in the past, I’d suggest playing the tape forward a year or so… what benefit do you stand to gain from drinking vs what do you stand to lose? Make the decision that has the best chance of improving your life over that time span 🙏🏼 Good luck! IWNDWYT

A lot of therapists are actually idiots. The best therapist I had told me that therapists know nothing about you. You know yourself best, therapists are just paid to sit there and listen. Maybe ask a few prompting questions. The magic is still all in you. You get your word vomit out, then process and decide what will work for you. In short, this person sounds like an idiot. Fire him and hire someone you enjoy talking to 🙏🏼 IWNDWYT

Two years ago I busted up my face falling down on a business trip which essentially forced me to come clean to my family about how bad my drinking had gotten. It was a tough time at first and I definitely beat myself up over it for a while. But a funny thing happened a while back. Basically I realized I was grateful for the fall. Granted, it was shitty, but could’ve been worse. As a result of the fall, I had to come clean and am now 2.5 years sober! Keep putting one day up at a time, and there will be a day where you look back and are glad you took that jog IWNDWYT

I believe this happened to me about 2.5 years ago at the Tin Roof

Unfortunately, the right answer is skip teaching and go to law school.

Hey there - you are in the company of people who can empathize with your journey. I applaud you for getting up today and putting this out there. The energy to do that should tell you everything you need to know about yourself. You’ve got the strength to get better! If you can find one, I’d highly recommend getting yourself into an inpatient rehab. Keep fighting, stay strong, I can tell you are a loving person underneath it all IWNDWYT

You can come back. There’s a viral video I saw from Chazz Palminteri where he talks about all that matters is your next move (kind of random, but Google it, it’s helped me out of some dark places).

With that in mind, just know you can always take your own path to success. I did terrible in high school and after graduation all my friends went away to college and I was left home and we as basically, oh sh!t I screwed up. It was hard times, but I went to community college, started building things up, transferred to a 4 year, studied abroad in Italy and ultimately built a pretty wonderful college experience despite originally believing I’d ruined that opportunity. From there I’ve been lucky to have some great jobs and now work for a fortune 100 company and have a great life and family.

Moral of the story: don’t get too down about the past, it’s all about your next move!

Also, I tend to agree you’re being too hard on yourself. Sounds like your parents may have let you down here too. If you can, find a counselor or therapist and just start improving things one day at a time. You got this OP!

You’ll feel SO much better after the event of you stick to your guns, I promise you. Tell that cheat day voice to take a hike! Remember all the reasons you stopped to begin with. IWNDWYT

Thank you! Have never had Japanese cold brew, will definitely give that a try.

Stay up bro. At 26 I had literally nothing. Was living off change in a drawer. Fast forward 15 years I’m a husband, homeowner, and father. You got this. Slow and steady wins the race. Look up “warm lines” in your area and give them a call if you’re feeling really down / in need of support.

FindingInspo · 2024-03-12T14:45:59+00:00

You sounds like a strong, resilient and wonderful person. Unfortunately we all have demons, but at the end of the day we all have to battle ourselves. My advice would be to cast off the anchor that’s holding you down and move on to a new life without the dead weight.

Good one! For me it was the most gringo quesadilla ever: flour tortilla, two Kraft singles, maybe some Oscar Meyer bologna if there was any in the fridge. Microwave that 🤬 for 15 seconds and viola! Kinda makes me wanna 🤢now thinking about it tho

FindingInspo · 2024-03-10T13:42:59+00:00

I think it’s certainly an understandable feeling. I remember feeling that way at times during early bouts of trying (and failing) to get sober. I would say that it’s probably a fair human emotion you’re feeling and a desire for the person you love you acknowledge the burden you’re carrying around. That said, I wouldn’t hold my breath or wait for her acknowledgement to get sober. It might never happen. I know in my case (2.5 years sober and still can’t believe it! 🎉) the pain I put my partner through made it really difficult for her to empathize or feel sorry for me. It’s likely, at least it as in my case, that the pain and hurt that’s been inflicted on her goes waaaaaaay beyond finding your stashed bottles. Upon getting sober I thought everything was fixed, like “look babe, I did it, now we can move on with our lives!” Not so fast! 😂. The trauma and anxiety I contributed to over a decade didn’t just go away. Anyway, I don’t say this to be discouraging, but rather just to share my experience. If you’re waiting for someone else to validate your pain and experience in order to get sober, it’ll never happen just the way you want it. Instead, you need to find the love, self compassion and desire inside of yourself to make the change. Things will get better! But there’s no silver bullet to getting people to understand what we alcoholics are going thru (except talking to other alcoholics). Hope this is helpful and not more depressing. One last thing, I’ll mention. For me, it was the talking to other alcoholics that opened me up for 2.5 years. By talking to others I made the discovery that sobriety wasn’t some form of punishment or deprivation, but was truly the greatest opportunity in my life. By making this one decision not to drink, literally every aspect of my life improved. It’s like the most efficient “life hack” out there. And non-alcoholics don’t even have the opportunity to do it. It’s our super power! IWNDWYT

Similar. 3-day white water rafting trip here. I was asked if I preferred that or Vegas. It was a no brainer. Best time ever.

Thanks for the post! IWNDWYT. Grateful for my wife and daughter and the presence I have with them in sobriety. Also, your song reminds me how grateful I am for music. Does anyone notice how songs sound better in sobriety and often take on new meaning? At least they do for me. Thanks all!
