Total disclosure

I read an article on MSN money the other day about a group of women eliminating debt. One of the things they recommend is total disclosure of your debt. In other words, posting it on the internet for everyone to see and then tracking your progress as you pay it off. I have to say I'm tempted to do it. I struggle with this because I'm not sure I'm willing to tell all my secrets. Why? Because if I can still hide it then no one knows my failures. While a part of me treasures my privacy I also see the value in disclosing it. By disclosing the details I take away one of the very things that keeps me in debt. The secret. The shame I feel about it. Much like I suspect others have done with their own debt. If it isn't a secret then maybe I can get encouragement, advice, and support from my friends as I pay it off. Thoughts about this anyone? Feel free to email me publically or privately.
