Morning,
Day 237 - Just a quick one today! Busy day out and about then out again tonight for friends birthday! The day will pass without a constant check of the football scores, I will not waste any money on that and I'm sure the people I spend the day with will benefit from that also!
Day 237 - Busy Saturday!
Our Flagg is in "the groove"
Out all day and "party" tonight!
Liking this!
Well done on 237 days.....am sure it will be 474 days this time next year!

Morning Diary,
Day 238 - Not really in the posting groove the last few days. Been pretty busy with various things. Always keep my own diary ticking over and the Xmas thread remains strong but just not had the right words for people this week. Been here before though and Castle often says the words come and go so pretty sure I will get round a few diaries sooner rather than later. Apologies to anyone who I have missed recently.
Sunday always marks the end of another bet free week. Come to like the irony of it now. Used to loathe Sundays but now they are symbolic of a changing lifestyle and within that change I find Sunday isn't bad at all.
Will leave it there today the flow just isn't quite there. Feeling fine, actually more than fine, so much to look forward to maybe my brain is too excited to formulate words lol!!
Day 238 - 34 Weeks!
hi flagg
i understand what your saying with being busy and not having the words to say sometimes i had a week like that so i will leave it with
wow
your doing a fantastic job

Morning Diary,
Day 239 - Woke up this morning feeling like I had not actually been to sleep. Hate that feeling. Been in work an hour now though and starting to wake up. This is usually my productive time of day but certainly not worked hard this morning.
A good weekend in general feel like the Xmas shopping is in hand and hoping not to make a massive dent in the December pay packet when it arrives. However, I do know i'm kidding myself and will end up going overboard in the days leading up to Xmas. Just be tight in January, nothing wrong with that.
Right off to start my week properly now the porridge is done.
Day 239 - Must Wake Up!
Hey Flagg
You awake yet?
Thanks again for your support on my diary- you're right (again!) was having a spate of the "I hate me's"- just was so unexpected after feeling so good. Thankfully it didn't last long- but at least now I know to expect "crazy moments" which I must allow myself to have.
Sorry- a wee Irene ramble there......
Have a brill week! Well done getting to day 239.
Irene

hi flagg
Day 239 aye you are going great guns, hopefully you have woken up now chap
So what if we go overboard at Xmas and little short Jan if we gamble then we short whole month without enjoying friends and family company over Xmas.
Anyway you don't need me to tell you, you know what your doing

Hi Flagg,

Have a gr8 day 🙂
Afternoon,
Day 240 - Feeling ok today. No problems to report, no pending doom, just moving forward one day at a time. Trying to make the best of the time left in this year and definitely going to enjoy Xmas but there is a large part of me raring to go in 2013 and I am kinda just wishing the next couple of weeks away.
Same scenario really with the exercise routine. Absolutely had it nailed for a while, and now I think I will do something today but tomo I won't get chance and the lazy part has won too many times in the last 2 weeks. One final 2012 push is needed I think. It will be known as the year I stopped gambling so it deserves a positive end!
Day 240 - Wish it away!
Morning World,
Day 241 - Quite like getting an early post in. Totally psychological but feel it's a positive start to the day.
Work is still fairly quiet. There are things I could be getting on with but struggling to motivate myself with Xmas so close and the day to day part being a bit too easy. Almost on Xmas wind down in that respect.
Plenty going on outside of work though to keep me more than busy. I promise myself that I won't get complacent and so far I haven't missed a day on here or thought this is easy, I have it nailed. As long as I maintain the same thought process Xmas will come and go without any gambling issues. Wouldn't have even considered that 12 months ago.
Day 241 - Reflective Progress!
It's truly amazing how far you've come Flagg. You've attacked this in the right way and your still doing that. You've shown 100% respect to the addiction and have dealt with everything so well. Your an inspiration to us all. Helping many on here beat this addiction and for that you should be very proud. Enjoy Xmas you deserve it then I'm with you - bring on the new year!!
Evening Diary,
Day 242 - Nothing to report today. Another day closer to next target, another day nearer to Xmas, another day gone on the road to 2013.
Day 242 - No Bet!
Good evening sir!
Was just gonna look for your diary.....up you popped!
I can understand about not having much to say. Sometimes I can waffle for wimbledon....others can't think of jack sh** to say!
Just wanna say too complaicent with your work outs as there is always a karate kid to contend with!!!!

Hey flagg,
Feels like ages since i last posted on your diary, but your so consistent and committed I kind of know your always around shoud i need a boost.
The clock is ticking as always and Im sort of counting down with you but only to my holiday and to 2013 an exciting year and one i intend to put as much effort and commitment into on the gambling front.
I know the feeling re the exercise I crawl in from work and just want to put some comfy clothes on and veg out and watch a bit of cr** tv its sort of a winter thing i think.
Great to see all is well in your world .. Barcelona here you come.
Take care

hey flagg,
winter is hard on the old excercise, sometimes we just need to take a step back and relax, like your effort on this site you are doing tremendously well and support so many others.
i guess at your age LOL, the bodies not what it used to be , have to get back to your slippers and cosy up LOL
