Hello Everyone. I'm glad I found this group. Been really down about myself since I keep trying to stop shopping but I cant seem to stop myself. I'll pay down a card, and the next thing you know, I've maxed it out again and still haven't paid off a mountain of credit card debt. Im going to grad school too, and will soon have to quit my corporate job because I have to start my clinical hours this year. that means I need to pay everything off before I have no income because ill also be accruing a 140k student loan debt on top of my credit card debt. I've finally realized i desperately need help. hoping to check out some support groups to help; and potentially attend my first debtors anonymous next week too.
Hi, I don't know anything about shopping addictions, but I just want to say it's very admirable that you've recognized you want to change and you're taking the steps to do it. It's a difficult journey, but I believe you got this!! I can only imagine how stressful your situation is, and I hope ease and comfort comes your way soon! Best of luck! <3

Hi, im Rose looking for help with this addiction
I feel you. I keep trying to claw my way out of debt but as soon as I pay something off it’s racked up again. How did yours first debters anonymous go? I was wondering is anyone has found any groups other than 12 step groups for support?
