Shopping Addiction?? Rubbish!!!!!

[Robbie T]

I really cannot believe there is such a thing as a "shopping addiction".

I am sure its just women making up excuses about spending money.

Anyone else agree?? or have any comments on this crazy subject??

I hate to say it Robbie, but people are being treated for shopping addictions. Mainly, it is believed, it is a way for the client to combat depression. Retail therapy!! It is much more frequent in America but never the less, still a lot over here in the Uk.

I love shopping. Helps me through my girlfriends addiction to alcohol.

For some people it's a serious problem, in much the same way as drugs or alcohol or other destructive behaviours take over your life, you can find yourself unable to stop spending even when it's harmful to your life and destroying your relationships, it's not a joke.

Treating alcohol dependency may be complex and tough. so as for treatment to work, the character with alcohol addiction has to want to get sober. you can’t pressure them to stop investing in the event that they aren’t geared up. achievement depends on the individual’s preference to get better.

The healing procedure for alcoholism is a lifetime dedication. There isn’t a short restoration and it entails each daycare.

Oh it is most definitely real, and also I do not understand why do you think that this condition is only applicable to women? It is a serious condition also known as compulsive buying and it is not a matter of joking! It is an issue that puts a burden not only on a person in question but also on the entire family.
