I Have a Shopping Addiction, How Can I Keep It Under Control?

Question by Dangaderpp: I have a shopping addiction, How can I keep it under control?
I have a shopping addiction. I’m always shopping online or in stores. & I can’t avoid going in certain stores, because I don’t like to stay in the house all day. (I don’t drive, so if I want to do things, I have to do them while my ride is out and about to drop me off or go with me.) I can’t control my shopping habits most of the time unless I have a friend helping me. I don’t have a lot of money, so I can’t just shop all the time. But, that still doesn’t stop me (I have some credit cards). I pay them off timely, but still. I’m trying to save money :/ Help!!
