Too casual about your
drinking? By M AG G I W H I T E
A SOBRIETY COACH CAN HELP ‘GRAY AREA DRINKERS’
M
ARTHA WRIGHT WAS BOTHERED ABOUT her drinking for several years.
She was trying to guide her teenager around conversations about alcohol and other substances and worrying she wasn’t setting the best example. “Motherhood was my role and identity, she says. “But if we were eating dinner, watching a movie or even playing ping pong, my wine glass was there. I started to feel symptoms. I felt mentally foggy and I was forgetting things.” Drinking constantly can also cause indigestion, anxiety and poor sleep. “You make resolutions that only last a week, decide you actually don’t have a problem and then resume drinking,” Wright says. “I’ve been there. I was waking up at 3 a.m. every night with anxious thoughts, usually beating myself up. I would make promises to cut back or not drink the next day. But later the next day, I’d feel compelled to pour a glass again.” And alcohol was more than something to pass the time, it was her livelihood. Wright moved to Oregon 21 years ago, after being raised in New Martha Wright changed her drinking habits and now works to help others do the same. 6 NORTHWEST 50 PLUS MARION POLK - METRO | JUNE 2020
Orleans, a city known for its cocktail culture and bar scene. “It was permissive,” Wright says. “Let the good times roll.” She and her husband started a winery in Carlton. “In this industry you are surrounded by wine, tastings, dinners, pourings, visiting restaurants and chefs,” she says. “The food and wine industry, in general, has a high incidence of alcohol and drug use.” The work includes long, stressful hours and late nights. “You wake up in the morning not feeling right, but the process starts all over again,” Wright says. “I started feeling more dependency on wine than I wanted to.” She believes there are millions of people like her. She remembers that a few years before her mother died, the family held an intervention for her mother. “We were concerned about her drinking’s effect on her mood and health,” Wright says. “And she told me, ‘Every single day of my life for as long as I can remember, I’ve said this would be the last day of drinking.’ This was a wake-up call.” Wright refers to her past self as a “gray area drinker,” rather than an alcoholic. “We’re not alcoholics. But alcohol is addictive — to all people.” Sometimes Wright would limit wine drinking for a night, or take a whole week off, but she was surprised at the hold alcohol had on her. “I didn’t see a remedy to make a change,” she says. Shortly after the intervention for her mother, Wright met a neighbor for drinks. Her friend ordered a tonic instead of an
alcoholic beverage, and Wright was curious about the choice not to drink alcohol. “She told me she didn’t like to talk about it unless she was asked, but she had stopped drinking almost two years earlier,” Wright says. The neighbor recommended a book called “The Alcohol Experiment” by Annie Grace, and Wright “ran home and looked it up,” she says. That book “not only gave me control over alcohol but my life changed,” Wright says. “I have energy and motivation that had been missing.” After a week without alcohol, she noticed how much better she felt and how much her sleep had improved. “I didn’t know I had gotten that bad,” she says. With these new life changes, Wright took the next step to become a trained sobriety coach. Now age 52, she has embarked on a new career to help others by conducting workshops and online consultations. What she has noticed is that many of us tend to use extremes when talking about alcohol use — either you are “normal” or you “have a problem,” when it’s actually a spectrum of dependencies. Advertising portrays the consumption of alcoholic drinks as being very appealing, Wright says. It implies alcohol enhances romance, that you will have more fun, and be the life of the party. It’s deliberately targeted at the female demographic.
This can happen easily to women whose primary role as a parent becomes “unmoored” when their children grow up and leave home. Wright noticed this, particularly, when her daughter was busy in high school and college and didn’t need her mother as much as she once had. Life’s transitions also can trigger stress that accelerates dependency, she says, especially at age 50 and older. “In my view, people who come to my workshops are rock stars,” she says. “It took bravery to come and do something truly counter-culture.” Wright is a certified sobriety/mindfulness drinking coach. Calls can be scheduled with her at Martha@clearpowercoaching.com. ☸
Of note
Here are some of Wright’s recommendations for non-alcoholic drinks: Buonafide: An Italian red wine, available online and soon to be on the shelves at Whole Foods. For Bitter or Worse: Made from organic botanicals and comes in three flavors. It can be found at Market of Choice in the wine section. Monday Gin: “It smells delicious, like a gin and tonic,” Wright says. It can be bought through Amazon. “Hoppy Refresher”: A drink with no calories or sugar, made by Launitas Brewing and sold at New Seasons in the beer section.
“Everything was handled in such a professional manner. Everyone was so caring and made this difficult time so much easier. —Nancy

Whirlpool released a new design for the transmission in its top loading machines, and “the quality is terrible,” Lawrence says. “I’ll tell you what, we see it daily. I have phone calls, thinking they got the good, old-fashioned Whirlpool and in the first year, the factory warranty is doing repairs.” Front loading machines are better, but only slightly. One of their benefits is using about one-third the amount of water per washload. But debris — coins, hairpins, etc. — can get caught in the pockets. If it’s not cleaned regularly, that debris gets sucked into the pump and the machine breaks down. It costs, on average, about $129 to $139 to have a broken pump repaired on a machine. Other problems might include a failed electronic panel or a broken rear drum bearing. ‘If the bearing goes out, then it’s not feasible to repair it,” Lawrence says. “The tub that has the pressed-in bearing exceeds $500 just for parts, and that’s not including another $200 in labor to fix it.” And if the machine is more than five to seven years old, other parts may begin to break down as well. Dryers, on the other hand, are simpler and easier to fix. Depending on the repair, he says, the cost might range from $89 to $159. The main problems in dryers appear to be failed electric panels, broken belts and a kinked exhaust pipe. When it comes to your refrigerator, don’t plan to keep the new ones longer than seven to 12 years. Broken parts usually present as a compressor or defrost component. “The companies started making them with electronic controls about 20 years ago, and I’m finding those last seven to 12 years,” Lawrence says of the side-by-side models. If you find your refrigerator isn’t working as well as it used to, it’s best to call an appliance repair shop, tell them what’s happening and give them the model number. “If it’s defective, you can get an estimate on the cost of repair,” he says. “Some are worth fixing, depending on the brand name. But it could be a $400 to $500 fix, so sometimes it’s not worth it.” Although Maytag washing machines

aren’t as sturdy as they used to be, Lawrence says to trust the brand when it comes to dishwashers. If something goes wrong, it’s usually worth fixing and keeping the machine as long as possible. “Maytag has one of the largest motors in the industry and comes with a four-stainless-steel food chopper in its motor assembly,” he says, “so it has a self-cleaning filter where most other brands do not.” Other brands’ motors will tend to break down because they don’t have the food chopper. Parts on these machines are feasible and worth replacing, he says. Dishwashers tend to last seven to 15 years. If your over-the-range microwave is having problems, it’s usually best just to buy and install a new one, Lawrence says. They have a life expectancy of about seven to 10 years, and typical problems include broken door switches (about a $120 fix, including labor) or a faulty magnetron, which costs about $90 to replace, not including labor. “It’s usually not worth repairing,” he says, “although keep in mind the cost of installing a new one, which is $119.”
Brothers Gary and Steve Lawrence have owned JL’s Appliance since June 18, 1984. They started with one location at 958 Edgewater St. NE, Salem, and about 10 years later opened a second location on Lancaster Avenue, also in Salem. It’s been a long-standing successful business that has allowed them to serve not only the greater Salem communityl. Visit jlsappliance.com, or find their inventory on Facebook and Craigslist. Finally, you can expect to get the longest performance out of your oven range, with most brands performing about the same. “I don’t have too many bad things to say about them across the board,” Lawrence says. “Maytag, GE, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, I would put any of these in my house or my rental houses.” He’s noticed that the new design ranges with coil burners have had some trouble with a feature that doesn’t keep the burners red hot. “Everybody is complaining that it takes forever to boil water because it won’t stay on high,” he says. “When it gets to a certain temperature, the switch
shuts the element off. It’s a cycle.” The alternative is a glass top where the halogen burners will stay red hot. They also cycle through, but stay hot longer. Over time, the burners and receptors will need to be replaced. With ovens, he recommends using the self-cleaning feature very sparingly. “Ovens have come a long way with electronics, but I see a lot of issues with control boards,” he says. “When an owner is having control board problems it’s because moisture from using the self-clean mode gets inside the electrical panel.” ☸

So, to help yourself practice, pick an activity you do daily, and connect your check-in to that. Set an alarm on your phone, or keep a sticky note nearby to serve as a reminder. Continue to practice. After a while, you’ll start to notice a difference, an increased level of awareness. And most importantly, a powerful opportunity to do something different. TUNE INTO YOUR BODY. Your body often sends physical cues about how you’re feeling, long before your emotions fully register. And

for a lot of people, the body is the easiest way to tune into what you’re feeling. Perhaps your shoulders are tense, you’re walking quicker than normal, or your heart is racing. Perhaps you’re sitting more slumped than normal, you’re talking less in a meeting, or your muscles feel heavy and tired. Notice these physical cues and let them serve as a prompt to check in with yourself. TAKE A DEEP BREATH. Imagine how difficult it would be for a nurse to take your temperature if you were running circles around the exam room. It would be chaos. So why would you try to do an emotional check-in with your mind racing? A slow, mindful breath is one of the best things you can do for your health. Take a slow, deep breath, breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth. This helps slow your mind and reduce distractions, making it easier to focus on your emotional experience.

ASK THE QUESTION. Use the simple question, “How am I feeling?” Make it even more specific by tacking on the phrase “right now” or “in this moment.” This will help focus your brain on the current moment, which is an awesome practice in mindfulness. This ensures that you can get as accurate a reading as possible. And don’t be afraid to ask this question out loud. It will help direct your attention and your thoughts to your emotional check-in. USE DESCRIPTIVE WORDS TO CAPTURE HOW YOU FEEL. It’s critical when you’re describing your emotions to use detailed, specific, and nuanced words. Imagine if a physician just diagnosed you as “sick” or “achy.” Those generic terms wouldn’t help guide treatment. In the same way, it’s not helpful to do an emotional check-in and say, “I feel bad.” That is surface and vague. And you can do better. Maybe you’re feeling drained, depleted, worried, confused, distracted, hurt, rejected, judged or overwhelmed. Those words are more specific and detailed. And as I’ve said before, the more accurate the assessment, the more helpful the intervention. Get specific with your emotions. BRAINSTORM WHAT MIGHT BE CONTRIBUTING TO THOSE EMOTIONS. When it comes to humans and our emotions, it’s rarely simple. And there’s rarely a clear cause. But we can often hypothesize about some contributing factors or potential explanations for the way we feel. By brainstorming some of the things that might be contributing to your emotions, you’re gaining greater insight into your experience, and this insight gives you the opportunity to make a choice about your emotions going forward. How do you want to respond? What is the most effective and powerful way to respond? With grace? Appreciation? Hope? Gratitude? You choose. ☸

Experimenting
Bonsai with By G RAC E P E T E R S O N
T
PLAY AROUND, HAVE FUN AND DON’T EXPECT PERFECTION
HERE IS A 25-FOOT-TALL JAPANESE MAPLE tree growing by my backyard patio. It started as a tiny seedling that germinated from a seed that fell off the coral bark maple growing in the front yard.
When I espied the cute, inch-tall baby tree 20 years ago, I carefully lifted it from the bark dust and grew it in a pot for a few years before planting it by the patio. By then it was about 18 inches tall and I never expected it to get as big as it is now. It has been one of the most carefree and rewarding plants in my garden. I love thinking that my humble partnership with nature produced such a grand reward. Japanese maple seedlings are not a rare occurrence. They are pretty much glorified weeds in my garden and it pains me to have to pull them and throw them away. Often, if they’re particularly robust, I’ll pot them up and grow them, yet not with the idea of producing another towering patio tree since a small garden cannot sustain too much of a good thing. Instead I’ve been having fun using them in my experiment with bonsai. I’ve had an interest in bonsai since I was a kid living in Hawaii but had always hesitated to dive in since it would require time, patience and skills that seemed intimidating. 14 NORTHWEST 50 PLUS MARION POLK - METRO | JUNE 2020
Ace r B o n s a i Through the years, and with good intentions, I’ve purchased a few how-to books; but it wasn’t until recently when I started watching YouTube videos that I realized the art of bonsai is not unreasonably difficult once its few principles are understood. Now I’m working with my endless supply of maple seedlings as well as hazelnut tree seedlings, azaleas, a mugo pine, a Japanese holly, and even a small-leaved wisteria. My favorite bonsai YouTube videos are by Peter Chan of “Herons Bonsai” in England. Peter’s unique and genial British accent makes him a joy to listen to and because he’s been involved with bonsai since the 1970s, he really knows his stuff. His videos often show him transforming overgrown plants into works of art, and with his precise, easy to follow narration, the listener has no trouble understanding what his objectives are. He has a series of bonsai videos on YouTube, covering various topics of bonsai including running a top-of-the-line nursery in his country. He posts a new video just about every week. Another informative video series is Bjorn Bjornholm’s “Bonsai U.” Like Peter, Bjorn owns a nursery but unlike Peter’s his — called Eisei-en — is located in Nashville, Tennessee. Bjorn’s personality is much different than Peter’s. A bit shy on the demonstration, Bjorn is more of a lecturer. If you’re interested in knowing the history and theory of bonsai techniques, Bjorn is your man.
P H OTO : G RAC E P E T E R S O N
Want to see the top 25 bonsai channels on YouTube? Visit this link: blog.feedspot.com/ bonsai_youtube_channels. Books and videos provide inspiration for the bonsai craft but there are a few other ways as well. I’ve created a Pinterest page with photos of different types of bonsai plants. And whenever I’m at a nursery I take photos of the bonsai displays. I don’t publish them but keep them in my own reference library. Often, I’ll discover a plant I am already growing in my garden that would also make a cool bonsai. My advice to anyone embarking on bonsai is not to take it too seriously. Remember the rules but don’t worry about making mistakes. Striving for perfection will lead to disappointment, which defeats the entire purpose. Play around and have fun. Note: I’ve launched a new feature on my blog called “Plant of the Week.” Each week I discuss my experience with a certain plant in my garden. Photos are included.

everyone’s favorite game — bingo. Since residents aren’t allowed to gather for games, bingo now is brought to them. Residents gather in their doorways, as well as in the common areas while maintaining social distance, to play bingo. One employee calls out the numbers, and other caregivers help residents with their bingo cards, if needed. WINDOW VISITS: While no visitors were allowed, families could visit outside residents’ windows. Certified nursing assistants (CNAs) help residents move toward the windows so they can see their family, and they help residents use the phone while “visiting” their family members.

difficult for families, residents and patients. The Providence Benedictine Nursing Center Foundation paid for 11 electronic tablets at a cost of $2,400, and employees use Skype to help residents and patients visit with their families, sanitizing the tablets between each use. HALLWAY THERAPY: Physical therapists have begun doing seated exercise therapy in the hallways at Orchard House. The residents come to their doorways and therapists lead them through daily exercise. A home health mental health nurse also conducts virtual visits using a tablet. CHAPEL VISITS: Onsite chaplains recognize this is a stressful time for the nursing center’s employees and wanted to do something to support them. Because of COVID-19 restrictions, services in the chapel were suspended for several weeks ago. Chaplains decided to rearrange the chapel and place chairs far apart, play instrumental music, and provide some centering activities and inspirational quotes for employees. “These steps, and our caregivers’ dedication to our patients and families, are helping us all navigate the pandemic — and continue enjoyable activities for our residents,” Dazey says. ☸
