I have a shopping addiction. I am always eager to make new purchase  of unnecessary or superfluous things.
Aww I;m sorry to hear that.  Have you sought professional help about it?
No i have not. I do not think i have to since it is a  drug-free addictions and it is not as bad as addiction to gambling, Internet, or video-games.
You can still seek psychological help for such an issue.  It's best to at least get a professional opinion about it
Well, maybe it could encourage behaviors that build wellness and emotional resilience to my  physical, mental and emotional problems.
You could even forumlate a banking-based strategy where your funds are held and doled out on a pre-agreed rate, to curb impulse buying
DO you think that will help. Maybe i can try that. But why should it be viewed that i have a disease or a choice.
