Online Shopping Addiction
Posted: 01-11-07 14:26pm

I know it dont seem that serious...But its getting there!!

I have such a bad addiction to online shopping. Im seriously getting into some debt here. I am a receptionist for a living so I have nothing better to do than answer the phone and buy stuff online! How can I resist this temptation? Anyone else go thru the same thing?

I'm not sure if I fit, but I buy on impulse. Avoid the places where you feel the temptation ad maybe use the time to read online. I don't know. Look up a topic that you've been interested in but don't have the time to explore, or for information about a place you've always wanted to visit. Make a list of all of the questions you have about life, space, aliens, whatever. And then find out. If you shop online, you're probably good at research, and now you can use it for good!

If you know that you have a problem, then stop clicking the "checkout" button... Rolling Eyes

you have people here who are crack addicts, dope fiends, people who will literally die if they stop doing what they are addicted to, and you have a little shopping "issue"... Oooookk...
