“I spent over $50,000 last year on breaks. I didn’t realize how bad it got until my cards weren’t even exciting anymore. I just needed the hit.”

“I kept chasing the next big pull, thinking it would make everything feel worth it. But all I was left with was credit card debt and unopened mail.”

“Thanks to Collectors MD and some extra willpower I haven’t joined a break since our first meeting. Hoping to stay away for the foreseeable future.”

“After a few days away from social media, some time spent self-reflecting, and a Collectors MD peer-support meeting, I’m feeling refreshed and reformed.”

“Last night was my first meeting. I didn’t say anything, and it may be a few more meetings before I do, but I can already tell that this group is going to make a big difference.”
