Morning Diary,
Day 348 - Many many thanks for your words of encouragement and support everyone. Tried to offload some of my feelings at GA last night. Ultimately only I can lift myself out of the gloom. I suggested yesterday that the only thing I seem to be getting right is not gambling and if that's all there is then what is the point. That was a pretty dim view and I know there is more to life I just need to pull things together again.
Less than 2 weeks until holiday hopefully that will provide the required tonic.
Day 348 - 1 step closer!
Yo,
Agree with Duncs 100% , normalty can be a bitter pill to swallow . It's can always be made that little bit sweeter by munching on the odd double decker , or exchanging those running shoes for a table tennis bat .
Chin up mate ,

Good Morning Diary,
Day 350 - 50 weeks completed. Getting ever closer to the big 1 year milestone. Seeing others reach it recently is very inspiring and I know there is another forum member on track to reach 1 year 3 days before me looking forward to his post in 2 weeks time.
It was suggested that I have been putting pressure on myself reaching this milestone. I attempt to tell myself it is just another day in my recovery ultimately that is true. Although the days still fly by, the day count itself seems to have slowed down. Not really sure how that works, think it just shows the mind is warped and dangerous lol.
Day 350 - 50 Weeks!

Morning World,
Day 351 - Arrived at work this morning and spent the first 45 minutes shoveling snow. Actually quite surprised just how much snow we have had. With it being untreated all weekend it gave a truer picture. Lots of moans about why schools close but the reality is they just cannot take the risk of someone being injured on site. With the amount of ice around their hand is forced. Sad but true in our 'claim ' culture.
4 day week ahead which is great and even better next week as just 2 days. Then finally holiday is here. Actually it has come round extraordinarily quickly but still sometimes that isn't quick enough. My aim this week is to be more positive. Here goes!
Day 351 - 4 Day Week!
Good Morning,
Day 352 - Added my £1 to the Barcelona fund last night just 6 days left until all will be revealed as to how much I have saved for the trip next week. It's nice to know that all that money is going towards something nice. It's been a battle this last 11 months but by maintaining that 1 day at a time philosophy I have won that battle. The £1 a day is symbolic of that really.
Mood was a little brighter yesterday and feeling more positive today. Fingers crossed this will continue. I want to come back from holiday freshened up and ready to make something of the year.
Day 352 - Brighter!
Hi Mr f
Please don;'t apologise- do what you need.
I did have a chuckle at your post on my diary- you have more faith in me than I do 🙂
Have a ball in Barcelona (do you need to be told???)
Enjoy!

Morning,
Day 353 - Going to be busy at work this morning got myself a list of things to catch up with. So just a quick post to say all is fine. 3rd consecutive day where mood seems to be on the improve hopefully the start of a much brighter period. If only I could pinpoint why the big downturns. Oh well that's for another day.
Day 353 - Working Hard (ish)
Hi Diary,
Day 354 - Upward curve appears to be continuing. Finish the year strong is the hope and starting to look possible too. Managed to get round a few diaries this morning and hopefully will catch up with a few more friends over the weekend.
Day 354 - Getting There!
Flagg,
Love following your progress buddie. Eleven days to go until the big one. You deserve it.
Tomso.
Thank you so much for kind words after my slip up. You are so right as well, nasty little gremlins in my ear all day telling me I can spend again no problem as managed to walk away relatively unscathed. Just using my baseball bat on them but think I will even have to sleep with it by my bedside they are such evil little nasties.
So pleased for you as well, such an achievement and a real motivator for me as shows it can be done with hard work and perseverance.
