Enjoy your meeting tonight Oldham 🙂

I haven't had a bet today or since my last post

Well it's the final countdown to my next target 100 days to the year as I write this it reminds my of my nearly wedding, during the planning stage we'd booked the DJ/host we had meetings with him he was a big part of the day he wasn't cheap but music is my ex passion and it was to be a big part of the day my only sole input into this was to pick 10 songs to be played while we waited for the bride some was personnel some with a bit of humour the final one was to be The Final Countdown. I'm rambling already but you all know it better to ramble than...........

Again as I type away another thought crosses my mind, nothing final about that countdown to the year it just going to be another day of the rest of my life I'm in this for the long haul to change my life for the better beginning a new lifestyle I feel like I'm starting to enjoy life again really proud of the choices I'm making now

I started a reply to Triangle above question but thought it belonged on my diary

As for my meeting it was ok but it won't be making into my top ten meetings. Can't put my finger on it seemed OK 2 guys came back after more than a year away and basically said I've fu cked up I need to come o back to.

Maybe it's was nerves I know it takes guts to come back it's great they have comeback, I don't know maybe I'm being a bit judgemental. The rest of the meeting was ok normally you have one stand out therapy but tonight I just don't remember one.

maybe im being spoilt with good meetings week in week out. Good therapys good discussion while going through the books. Maybe I wasn't in the head space I've not had a bad day it's a been good day to be honest but my attention kept drifting maybe nothing was grabbing me.

Open meeting next week so looking forward to that. One big plus tonight was my old mate coming back started at the same time as me but has had a baby and moved area so can't really make the meetings. I've been keeping in touch with him and he's doing great but it was still nice to see him and hear him declare

Always good to end on a positive

Can't switch off tonight my minds racing thinking about some of the s**t I used to do. Like getting a ppi refund for nearly 2k not telling anyone and gambling it away. Even back when I first started gambling a mate of mine give me a tipping line number 4 out of 6 days (no Sunday racing then) they would give you no bet when they did it was in code like Haydock tace 7 number 18 you'd have to check the code and it would mean race 2 number 6 invariably they won but even then I beg on every other race with the winnings i couldn't stop I'd be furious when they said no bet surely they must be something they was more losers.

Right need to sleep up in 4 hours let's switch this mind off

Hey. ..hope you managed to nod off my friend....if I was up I would have sang you a lullaby !

Yes thats a good positive to end on. Tri x

Hi KTF thanks for the post on my diary today - and the video, it certainly made me smile and helped on a cr*ppy day! Your diary was one of the first ones I read on here when i joined, so pleased your still staying gamble free and attending your meetings! Instead of 99 red balloons I am working on 99 reasons why today i wont gamble - books out later this year 🙂

Martin.

This quite a belated thankyou. Your post '1002' to me had me somewhat confused, as i never saw any moodiness or frustration aimed at me. Had to read back and all i could read was, a good caring chap witnessing the delusion in some of my denial laced posts.

A true Strength and honor

Hi Oldham

Wishing you a pleasant end of week and joyous weekend. Thanks for all your support. Tri

Cheers V and Tri, I was in a strop that day V so maybe aimed at me more than you.

Well I'm not sure what's up with me feeling a bit sorry for myself the last few days. Can't quite put my finger on it but just feel frustrated. Been out today to watch England beat the Welsh and should be elected with the result buy I've come home and even my mum is asking if I'm ok. Decided to go for a sleep hopefully wake up in a better mood.

KTF

Oy !! Miserable so.d , wake up will ya , there's a Welshman outside , his car's broken down coz he's got a "Leek " on his radiator :))

Seriously Martin your in a mood , how do you think Phil feels ? .

Cheer up buddy as you know too well it comes and goes .

Have a good night mate .

Yeah I can relate to that. Feeling Martin , that's why I went quiet for s couple of days , sometimes I think we almost take a lot of other people's problems on ourselves and it becomes a bit draining at times , take a break my friend it might do you some good , you come first buddy ! Hope you feel better tomorrow , night mate !
