Morning Flagg

I will count just for you :). Thank you for your post it did make me smile. I would say im not a claudia, more of a linda evangelista but with "pinks" hair colour and cut lol ;). hence the name lol.

Hmmm horror films, I do watch them but i mostly hide behind things right the way through, I went to see Women in black at the pictures and was literally hyding behind my hands looking through the little gaps in my fingers for most of it, and shouting things like " ffs" and o*g as i jumped out of my seat, it was quite funny actually...

So im none the nearer to guessing why your called flagg, maybe have to get steg on the case... 😉

I will be going to my G.A meeting tonight i always look forward to it, and i know i shouldnt project but im getting quite excited about reaching 90 days, i sort of know i wont gamble but im not taking anything for granted or getting complacent in any way shape or form..

I decided I was going to do what ever it takes to remain gamble free and so far so good.

I hope your slightly calmer today and have put the councilling debarcle in the memory bank filed away.

Your doing so brilliant flagg, Im sure your dad is extremely proud of what you have achieved, and i hope you give yourself a pat on the back also for your acheivements. You to have done what ever it takes to get to where you are now, and long may that continue.

Enjoy your day buddy, have a great meeting. Do you ever go on the on-line G.A site they have an on line meeting on a thursday also starts at 9pm.

Take care

Hi Flagg,

I just read ur post about the counselling, I am not surprised u were annoyed. I hope ur able 2 find a more reliable councellor. But well done Flagg even when u were angry 4 not gambling, that must of took alot of strength and determination. You should be sooo proud of urself 🙂

Have a gr8 day!

Stay strong and keep going 🙂

hiya Flagg..

Also in agreement about your counselling day...

It was important to you...someone you were relying on who offers a service whereby you are a customer let you down...they failed you and gave no explanation or even a note on the door..

Unless there are serious mitigating circumstances then a change of counsellor maybe needed...especially as your in the early stages of this and are vulnerable.

Don't be afraid to shop around...your the customer!

I work in a people centred industry..and if i carried on like that i would be up for at least first line disciplinary for letting a customer down.

Good for you for not discharging that anger in the bookies....you did the right thing by venting on here....thats what your diary is for...all of that guck to spew out..

As you can see ...everyone still here during the good,bad and ugly..

I like it when people spew....it makes me feel not alone..lol xx

Your right about 100miles an hour ..that is me...a busyaholic ...but on my holidays I go with intention to sight see but end up zonking!..if its a longer duration then I do sightsee...xx

Are you going on hols yourself this year??

Rach and Doo xxxx (((((((((f))))))))) keep posting

Flagg eh???? Let me see, is your name 'Jack Union,' 'Andrew Cross,' 'Ivor Pennant,' 'Chewy Louis?' Or was your favourite character Randall Flagg, that creation by the genius writer of the thriller/macabre....Stephen King. First seen in 'The Stand' way back in 78 when the sun shone and everyone danced to disco and continually included in other writings. It's just a hunch, not as big as Quasi's. If I win do I get a prize? Steve, who should be mowing the lawn.

I knew steg was the man for job, I knew he would get it.... He's Bosleys best mate and has insider connections lol.

Woo hoo.. Well helloooo martin lol

Hello Flagg

Thank you for your post; you are right. It's a crazy addiction - one that I can't beat by myself. Blocks are in place now. I'm going to try and post twice a day from now on. One entry in my diary and one into someone else's. Today you are the someone else. I'v been writing poetry for years. It's something I have always enjoyed. Here are a few lines from my Beltane poem. I can be the spiritualist that your replaces your councillor ha ha.

Growth.

Let fresh starts flower;

seal seeds in the roof of your mind

grow great thought towers.

Truth, is found in wild signs;

lay lines find power in

mystic ways, through sunny days

and soft rain showers.

Rises with the birds and add to your hours.

Wise are the words of the old world founders.

Good evening Diary,

Day 88 - Spent a bit of time this morning getting round some diaries and then totally forgot to post on my own! Not sure if that's a good thing or not!

Anyway, been an ok day and unlike normally when I post at the beginning of a day, I'm almost at the end of one so it feels like I've done 2 if that makes any sense! Halfway through my GA meeting week 12 and going strong! 90 days on Saturday and determined enough to get there that I'm almost sure I will now!

Thanks as always to people for your posts!

Day 88 - A bit late!

Hi Flagg, thank u 4 ur support on my diary 🙂

Well done on 88 days gamble free. I like that u try 2 find the positives in every situation.... makes me smile 🙂

This journey is tough, but totally worth all the hard work!

I hope 2 spk 2 u again in chat at some point 🙂

Hope ur meeting went well.

Stay strong and keep going 🙂

Good morning Martin,

Feels quite strange calling you that. Does that mean living you life in the middle of a horror movie , is over ?

Thank you for your posts yesterday, please note may have a new diary , but still have the same fridge contains not one but two double deckers ready for our date tomorrow ( that is of course if the kids do not eat them )

See you them

Day 89 - All Quiet

Evening Flagg or may I call you Randall. I know I'm an hour early but I want to congratulate you on reaching the big 90! Well done. You've really turned things around and you deserve a pat on the back. Keep motivated, keep focused, keep strong. Steve yet my friends call me Travis Bickle, not really, got no friends.

Hey flagg, popping in to say a massive congratulations on reaching 90 days , you so deserve every success and reward that goes with it you have put in 100% effort right from the start and supported so many people along the way with your wise words and your ability to get people to think , for that a thank you. Enjoy you day. Blondie xx
