Just checking in. This recovery kind of feels like a grind at the moment, finance wise. Having some things happening on the side that eats into the money I'm trying to throw at the debt.
Okay.. The main thing is I'm not making it any bigger. Going to re-read my previous posts to remember where I'm coming from.
Keep fighting the good fight friends! As much of a grind as it is at the moment, to be free of that vicious cycle we all know about is the most important thing. It was destroying me. I don't feel like there's any luck required now for me, coming on for two years suggests I'm in control. I should re-read what I wrote about complacency.. Bye for now
786 days, wheesh I'm so happy I have not gone back to where I was on that last day. Cleared 25K credit card debt in that time. Just got 11000 left to pay. Still sounds like a lot but the prospect of ending 2016 debt free is enough to drive me on. I'm fortunate the thought of gambling still makes me sick, thanks largely to looking back over this diary and how tough it's been. Every day without gambling makes it easier.

congrats fry. Keep it up!!!
Thanks guys. Just checking in again as I do from time to time.
I still get these stupid urges from time to time. Most of my friends like to gamble, they genuinely enjoy it. Added to that, my work colleagues have a gambling syndicate and spend a lot of time talking about their upcoming events, accumulators, etc. It makes me sick. Not angry as such, but it doesn't help.
I was revisiting my old posts tonight, and visiting the posts of new members, and those who have been here a while. I'm convinced that my recovery owes a lot to coming on here.
Happy new year to everyone.
