I wasn't sure I could keep myself out of the casino/bingo hall for a day, much less a whole year, but as I approached forty I just knew I had to make a change in my life.

Shortly after vowing to give up gambling I found couponing and boy what a godsend that was!! I dove right into it...learning as much as I could as fast as I could. I had a binder full of coupons within a month and had started to build a stock pile. I felt a rush getting a good deal and saving money - a better rush than gambling ever gave me!! Now here I am one year later and I cannot even fathom throwing away even one dollar gambling - I mean come on there are so many great things I can pick up for a dollar using my coupons!!!:lol:

I am really proud of myself today and just had to share!!:-)
