Still its hard to avoid my shopping habit...im drown on debt now in the bank and to other people...but it is hard to control. Shopping is the only thing that truly makes me feel happy when im sad and relieve me when im ill., better than a doctor. But I want to control but i couldn't. I really need serious help.

I used to shop all the time and had (still paying off) some credit card debt. I read some books and never got help until I read 101 WAYS TO STOP SHOPPING AND START SAVING on amazon. My husband bought it for me and I already saved $275 toward our goal-a trip to Paris in 2013!!!!! I now think twice before I go in a store and I go with a list. If I see something and dmy heart starts racing I leave and think about it for a few days at least. If we need it, I get it, if not, I decide is it worth taking money away from m y paris trip?? Nope

This is a great article! I just read this blog http://blog.greensherpa.com/index.php/personal-finance/the-truth-about-compulsive-spending/ and it made me think about whether I'm a compulsive spender. It was really helpful to have this addiction flushed out. Thanks for the help!
