Shopping Addiction

Has anyone here been able to overcome a shopping addiction and if so how please?

  • ADHD? There's usually a link.

    Some suggest it's best to exchange it for an addiction which isn't as harmful. Shopping is tricky - the definition of need vs want is blurry. Our society reinforces and rewards spending. You could try a video game which involves shopping without actually spending? But agree with Fiona, first it might be important to understand how you feel rewarded.

  • Thank you. Diversion to something else that gives the same buzz seems good advice. It might not even need to be an addiction as such.
