Debt Elimination Success Stories

I just love reading about other's success at eliminating their debt.  It inspires me so much.  When I am feeling a little un-frugally (shhh-that's a word, right?) I refresh my motivation by reading success stories.  If only I could become a success story by osmosis.  Oh - how I would sleep with my head on my laptop.
