Morning,
Day 243 - In a way today marks the beginning of Xmas for me. Finish work today and I cannot think of many evenings from here on in where there isn't something going on.
I guess this time last year I would have avoided some of these evenings, making excuses, and losing even more money I had not got. This year is very different, the finances are not brilliant but they are under control and I know this year will be much happier because I am not avoiding nights out, I am not constantly looking for my next betting opportunity.
Hope everyone has a great weekend, staying bet free will play a huge part in that.
Day 243 - Friday already!

fella i know there is lot of us who are experiencing our first gamble free xmas,yes i agree money is tight,but without doubt my friend since embarking on this amazing journey we did gift ourselves a 100% payrise.
Enjoy it i know i do and the honesty that comes hand in hand with abstinence,priceless!!!!
Duncs stepping forward never back
Good Afternoon,
Day 244 - Have not had a minute until now. Played football this morning. I had convinced myself with the weather this week it would be called off and wasn't really up for it. Well I must say I should try that mentality more often not sure I have ever scored 4 in a game lol!
Off out in a minute for the evening that will take me to the end of another day bet free and close to another week. Not gambling is now feeling like normal practice and I never envisaged saying that in my life.
Day 244 - Good Day!!
Hi Flagg,
WOW.......Look at you 4 goals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Womble is suitably impressed........Off to practice my Karate now...Hiya whap woo
Enjoy your evening.......Don't forget the check slippers buddie!

Good Morning,
Day 245 - By my calculations that is 35 weeks without staking a single penny on anything. Apart from a pretty severe low early on the time spent not gambling has been amazing and I continue to pick up small things all the time which have improved since I stopped. Even when I was feeling low it owed more to the fact I was self loathing rather than craving gambling.
I do believe I will reach that 12 months (the day I get back from Barcelona) and then I will need to do a manual reset and find something else to focus on. I thrive on future plans, I need things to look forward to otherwise I can get lower than low. Right now there is a great deal to look forward to and one day at a time my journey progresses positively.
Have a Good Sunday all,
Day 245 - 8 Months!!
Hi Flagg
I'm so glad you're keeping on the path you've chosen and seem to be thoroughly enjoying being on that path- long may it continue!

35 weeks get in. Very well done. I'm now watching Barcelona, you to probably. I think messi can get the goal scoring record tonight. I think he needs 2 goals. Come on messi.
Morning Diary,
Day 246 - Really starting to countdown now to Xmas. Feeling pretty festive and this work thing is just a burden at this time of year.
3 weeks left on the 2012 thread and so many people still going strong. A truly inspirational effort so far from all.
Still not posting much at the moment but I know it's just temporary and I will be back to my usual waffle in due course.
Have a good week all,
Day 246 - Work is a burden!

Afternoon,
Day 248 - Again not a great deal to say today. Uneventful is good after spending so long chasing my tail. I feel very much in control right now and my only enemy would be complacency. I have guarded against that for a while now and don't envisage taking my eye off the prize but I come here each day just to make sure.
Day 248 - Control!
Hi Mr Flagg
A great big "well done" on your gamble free days.
Keep hold of the control you've strived so hard to gain.
Take care
Irene
