Good Afternoon,
Day 286 - Nice relaxing Saturday look outside can see yesterday's snow but not heading out there until at least tomorrow morning.
Certain calm about my mood today I hope this is followed closely by some vigour and energy. No gambling always the priority though and in no danger of that.
Day 286 - Calm!
Morning Diary,
Day 287 - Another week passes bet free and another Sunday where I won't lose any money. It's a nice little pattern I have going a pattern lasting currently 41 weeks.
Testing times still ahead before I reach a year infact maybe the biggest one of all is still to come in mid March but I will navigate my way through that week when the time comes.
January is nearly over and many newer forum members are doing brilliantly which is great. This really is a tough month and reaching the end bet free will be amazing but with this addiction it's important to remain vigilant. Something that the February thread will have as a key feature. More on that next week but just for today No Bet!
Day 287 - Strength in Numbers!
Hello Diary,
Day 288 - Managed to get into work despite some pretty heavy snow yesterday. Can see it being a long day don't really want to be here and counting down the days to a few days off in a couple of weeks.
No gambling thoughts going well on that front.
Day 288 - Working despite the weather!
hi flagg
another week begins and you are still going strong even if this month does feel like going through the motions at times. you are doing fantastically well fella so keep doing what your doing
Hi Flagg
Well done on your continued progress and the lovely post on my diary.
No snow, but sooooooooooo cold here- def not tent weather lol and unlikely to need sunscreen. Westerwood's a much better option. Let me know if you need the one-sentence tourist spiel about the area 🙂
Keep it up bud

Morning Diary,
Day 290 - Well just reached the Lake District not bad this train malarkey pretty quick they are and sat nicely in the quiet zone with no distractions could almost get used to it!
2 days away and prob almost half of it will be commuting in some way shape or form! Baffles me sometimes how far we go for things put up in hotels paying our travel when surely things can be done remotely or by video conference most of the time! Oh well gets me out and about I guess!
Starting to find a few positives again now can see the end of the month in site and get paid at last Friday so a minor boost there! Hopefully will kickstart my healthy eating and fitness hasn't been a great start to the year on that front! Got to get back on it training to do and goals to aim for!
Still feeling good in recovery tho that's the main thing big boost yesterday seeing Duncs reach a year not seen enough people reach that milestone especially regular posters but Dunc has inspired me to keep kicking on! Think there will be a few of us reaching there this year it's encouraging for new members to see it can be done too so plenty reason for us all to stay strong!
Right back to my travels, have a good day all!
Day 290 - Train Journey!
Hey Mr Traveller,
Wow your right, its 9 months 😀 23rd april 2012 last bet, that makes me so happy thank you for watching my back and keeping the right count going lol.
Hope your training course goes well a change is as good as a rest im sure you will come away with something that was usefull.
Great day yesterday to see duncs reach that year milestone hardest one to get G.A say but also easiest one to lose, just for today i wont be going back.
Enjoy your day.. Chooooo Chooooo

Good Evening Diary,
Day 291 - Just heading back now on the train! Feels strange knowing its Thursday as ordinarily now I would be getting ready for GA meeting! This trip to Scotland is going to become pretty familiar to me in the coming months! No complaints tho, nice hotel and the course doesn't seem too dull!!
Actually felt really good late last night giving gambling a quick thought! Occurred to me that in my last job I would lock myself away on nights away and play poker! Last night I had the fuel to gamble and the opportunity but the thought wasn't there! When it did come It was more one of look how much better that night was chatting with colleagues and not avoiding interaction! So, a really positive thought and sometimes it's things like that which really serve as a reminder that huge progress has been made in the last few months!
Tonight, I feel pretty tired and looking forward to the weekend already but my mood is bright because I know I've turned things around in life and I'm well on the road to a far happier future!
Day 291 - A good trip!
