Morning,
Day 389 - Nothing much to report today. GA tonight missed last week due to being shattered from my Scotland trip. Never missed 2 in a row so will make sure I get there this evening. Friday tomorrow and a nice long bank holiday weekend.
Day 389 - Roll on Friday
Hi Flagg hope the GA meeting goes well tonight. Great to see ya still going strong, the big 400 in sight.
Evening Diary,
Day 390 - All is well!
Hello Diary,
Day 391 - Closing in on another mini milestone. I always have a niggling feeling that the gambling bug is just there waiting to pounce on any error, bad judgement, complacency. It keeps me on my toes and that day count rolls on nicely more out of fear than anything I guess.
Always keep my barriers nice and tight and keep something in the near future as something to look forward to. All about tricking our own minds I guess. It's about doing what works and in that respect those who say recovery is bespoke are correct. My little 'way' has worked so far and I am reluctant to meddle with a winning formula.
Day 391 - Always on guard!
Afternoon Diary,
Day 392 - Lovely day today and added bonus it's bank holiday tomorrow. Nice to just enjoy Sundays without the prospect of losing money.
Day 392 - Nice Weekend!
Hello Diary,
Day 393 - Just a quick stop off, all is fine and got to love seeing the sun on a Bank Holiday Monday.
Day 393 - Sunny!
Hi Mr f
It's great to read your positive posts:-)
I must admit to being a bit jealous of your good weather- rainy here (as usual!)
Enjoy what's left of the weekend!

Evening Diary,
Day 394 - Late post from me. Started getting around a few diaries today and then work got pretty busy. Will try again tomorrow. I am fine no problems.
Day 394 - Try again!
Morning Flagg, good to hear from you too. Time has flown, never thought I get this far, grateful for every day though. It'll be 400 days for both of us soon. Fantastic.
Take care
Steve
Morning Flagg thanks for the post yesterday as I said in my reply the support on here is excellent and its great to be back. One question is there a reason there's no threads going about? Just know there where all the rage back in my gamcare days lol
Afternoon Diary,
Day 395 - 30 days since that 1 year milestone! Crazy how the days just mount up! Wonder how many times I've said that since I started this diary!
Work is pretty manic still trying to get straight from the bank holiday almost wish we worked them sometimes and we could take time back elsewhere! Anyway, just escaped office for a quick much needed haircut! I used to leave the office every single day and for about an hour each time not sure how I did it! Today I will head back immediately less hair and clear conscience!
Day 395 - Haircut!
Hi Flagg,
Yes, the hours and then the days, and then the weeks do mount up! Thanks for showing me that with commitment and determination it can be done. You continue to inspire Mr. Flagg. Respect - joanxx
Yeah I can understand the lose of the novelty factor. I think it boils down to what you said to me in an earlier post about keep trying new things and that's probably what happened people wanting to try new things. Well I'm happy to go without but if you do decide to do one I know if be right behind you and would certainly sign up to add that extra focus. I did flirt with the idea of setting me own up but to be honest things are still a bit shakey for me and I'm not sure that I'm in the right mindset to run one just yet. I think it's something I may do in time as I know it's help you along the recovery path and it could possible do the same for myself. We will see. Anyway thanks for getting back to me and glad all is well and great to see you still going strong, 400 days soon that will look great when you type that one out.
Good Morning,
Day 396 - Thought I would get in an early post whilst I had 5 mins to spare. Although things are on the improve and I know the corner is being turned I am still struggling to put a consistent few positive days together. Trying to work through the bad days especially as they are becoming less and less but it still niggles me I cannot find that consistency.
On a brighter note despite work being a bit mental this week it's already Thursday so there are a few good things about these 4 day weeks. Nice couple of weekends coming up too so very focused on the good things today.
Day 396 - Seeking Consistency!
