A poem thing

My life is good
Yet I shop
I have an amazing love
Yet I shop
I am no longer homeless
Yet I shop
I love yet hate to shop
It’s my best friend
It’s my worst enemy
I have no clue how to stop
Yet my life will fall apart if I don’t

I think there’s actually a 12-step program for that. Shopaholics Anonymous maybe?

If quitting is difficult why not just at least cut down on how often you shop? Kind of wean yourself off it in stages?

@77nick77 I’m talking about it with my therapist and I think it is helping… I’m not sure if I can cut it down much… I’m trying though

@everhopeful Thank you

And you’re right, any addiction can take over your life, and potentially affect it in major, negative ways.

A good first step to quitting. You may not be able to quit on your own.

@77nick77 I’m trying and I think it helps to talk to her about… It’s not just random stuff I buy… It’s food…

Overeaters Anonymous? Crack is one of the most addictive drugs out there but I got clean with the help of AA, CA and NA.
