Last week I actually went the whole week without even going by the jewelry section of the stores and malls I went to . Because of this I didnt give in to my compulsive need to buy watches. I therefore realize that part of overcoming one's compulsive buying habits is avoiding those areas where one is drawn to spend one's money.

This week is another week and I thank God for last week's victory!

Maxine that is great. Keep up the great work. I, too, go by the weekly progress. I am now one week without the gambling sites online. I decided to find sites that don't cost money. There are substitues for our addiction. It's just knowing which ones are the right ones.

Good job, you have the understanding of what you need to do in order to break the habit. Also you have already taken steps necessary to prevent yourself from continuing it as well. I would like to congratulate you on the one week success. Now lets work on the next week and continue one week at a time.

I know it was hard for you to not do it. Just to know that you were in the area of where watches were being sold, had to been a doozy. But you should be proud of yourself inmore ways than one. You have the self will.
