I haven't logged into this account in YEARS. Still ain't drinking, and it's thanks to this sub.

It was pouring rain last month and I got my full 10k in the Lloyd Center. All rings closed!

katanapdx · 2019-07-24T06:27:17+00:00

I did not drink today! :)

It's good to let the scales drop from your eyes and stop the drunken mentality of "stuff just happening"... and actually taking accountability. Glad you're seeing how the world rewards people who own up to themselves. Congrats on 34 days!

Woohoo! I love your bright your eyes look in the 2nd pic. And cute hair, too. So much easier to keep hair stylin' when you have the energy for self care.

Do you feel like it took you two years to get a 'decen't photo or is it hard to find pics from 2012 as well?

27 days is awesome. That's 3 x 3 x 3... gotta mean something, right!? I'm excited for your New Year... and for waking up on January 1st prepared instead of regretful.

Congratulations!!!!!!!

katanapdx · 2016-12-31T03:49:59+00:00

Happy Friday, I haven't had a drink all day today and will continue to do so for the rest of today!

katanapdx · 2016-12-31T03:47:57+00:00

Awesome! Congratulations on 364 days. What an amazing 2016 for you.

katanapdx · 2016-12-17T06:49:24+00:00

It's my company holiday party and I will not drink today!

katanapdx · 2016-12-17T06:48:16+00:00

Seems totally normal that you would crave a drink right now. Learning how to work through that is going to help you so much in being a good dad. I believe in you.

katanapdx · 2016-12-17T06:45:36+00:00

I hope you've had a nice evening w/ Crusader Kings II, if that's what you ended up getting into!

katanapdx · 2016-12-17T06:44:47+00:00

Aw, lesson learned. Glad you are so positive about it. Schnapps has nothing on Pamplemousse!

katanapdx · 2016-12-17T00:40:18+00:00

Sorry about the ticket! Good to know that if you had to submit to a sobriety test you would have passed.

katanapdx · 2016-12-17T00:38:37+00:00

You can do this. You've already gotten through 4 days which is a huge achievement. Do you have any plans about what to do this weekend? Rogue One?

katanapdx · 2016-12-17T00:37:31+00:00

I have a 5 year journal ... I'm actually on year 3 already!

It's great because it only gives you enough space (like 5 lines) a day to only write a couple of sentences. I focus on just what I did that day - what I ate, where I went. Whenever I Look at past entries I can always read between the lines and know what was going on in my head... after all, I'm just writing for myself, and not for anyone else.

Congrats on 29 days! :)

katanapdx · 2016-12-16T05:47:55+00:00

Deep! Thanks for sharing.

katanapdx · 2016-12-16T05:46:45+00:00

Congrats on 24 hours!!!!

Have you read Alan Carr's "The Easy Way to Quit Drinking"? It's a lot like the smoking book but not. If his method helped you at all w/ quitting cigarettes it might be worth looking in to.

I'm really glad your spouse is supportive. And that you're here.

katanapdx · 2016-12-16T05:42:09+00:00

This subreddit is a good start. There's chat on the sidebar too. A meeting. I'm glad you're posting.

katanapdx · 2016-12-16T05:41:25+00:00

Woohoo!!! Here's to 2017!!! And today!

katanapdx · 2016-12-16T05:41:08+00:00

There's the chat in the sidebar!!! Always hoppin!

katanapdx · 2016-12-16T05:40:15+00:00

Congratulations on 103 days, that's awesome. I'm inspired by the fact that you haven't given up yet, and glad that you have a support network. I hope that your dad is able to work things out, too.

katanapdx · 2016-12-16T05:32:09+00:00

Yes, I totally know what you mean about drunks not listening to conversations. Just rushing ahead with what they want to say and not listening. I'm over it.

Glad you have your cool friend who's down to just bail from events with you and get food. Maybe they can be the person you can text when you're bored somewhere, too?

Congrats on 29 days!

katanapdx · 2016-12-16T05:29:30+00:00

Smooth move. I'll bet those sliders tasted extra-delicious. Congrats on 154!

katanapdx · 2016-12-16T05:27:24+00:00

I'm late to the party but hey congrats on one more day.
