"One (reading) is too much - one thousand is not enough!"
HopefulHeart:
Its almost funny how as I find a quote I want to share, I find this thread at the same time! Many kudos to those taking this journey. I've completely stopped calling and don't even have the desire to call. I was already growing tired of calling a few months back and had dwindled to only a few but I had my last in early December and I am keeping it that way. Yes, I have seen a few predictions come to pass and things are moving as once was foretold to me, but for me its mainly just the gut-sick feeling of how much I spent.
But on the same hand I need to stop beating myself up over it, as do all of you! Guilting ourselves and beating ourselves up over something is not the way to get results. But taking the right steps, whatever that may be for you, to get past the calling addiction is.
Anway, Im getting off topic; I had a fortune out of a fortune cookie not too long ago, and I thought I had thrown it out but I just came across it while cleaning. Perhaps it was meant to be found and shared! Anyway it says "The future is the most expensive luxary in the world". Well aint that the truth!!! lol
Ive made a New Year's resolution (that actually started last month) to make no more calls, just focus on life and go with the flow, live for me and get that debt paid down. I have a goal that by the end of this year my debt will be nearly if not completely Gone. I am going to stick around on this board, update here and there, give helpful words and encouragement as well but I wont be posting as much. But I do wish you all luck on your journey! :)

Hopeful - If you want to join as a speaker or to help encourage others to stop, we'd love to have you. :)

Yeah that works too! I didn't know what would be easier for people, or how people would feel more supported. We'd also need to start researching chat platforms. We can certainly try it out, or do one meeting of one and one of the other type, etc. See what works the best for people! It's a group project :)

I like to think of 12 step programs as the weight watchers of addiction management. It doesn't work for most people, but the program works for some and the principles are generally safe.
Rediska:
I am interested in joining.
