FMOOD 0275: How to Beat a Shopping Addiction - a podcast by Tom Merlino | Tom is inviting you to follow him on his journey to get out of debt and get into prosperity.

A shopping addiction is a real thing, just like any other addiction. Many folks go through life not even realizing that they have a shopping addiction until one day they find themselves in a huge credit card mess. If this describes what has happened to you, the good news is that you're not alone.

 

Whether you have a shopping addiction or are close to someone who does, this episode is for you. While I am directly answering an e-mail from one of my listeners on this subject throughout this episode, I will keep the solutions applicable to others who are also dealing with the same problem. Together, we will beat these shopping addictions, and when we do, we will make our lives better in more ways than one.

 

The first step is to identify that there is a problem. This is a significant part of the battle. Once the problem has been identified, through a system of support and accountability, it's time to face the identified problem and change the old habits to replace them with new habits. We'll also need to use tools that are at our disposal, including the budget, to replace the bad habits with good habits and guarantee success in beating this addiction.

 

I'll talk to both the married and single folks who are dealing with shopping addiction, but I will focus mostly on married folks. The reason is simply because I believe that the way that a shopping addiction is handled within a marriage will make or break the marriage. Problems with personal finances are typically the cause or a significant contributing factor of a failed marriage, but sometimes when the problems are addressed correctly within a marriage, they can end up being the key to strengthening or even saving a marriage.

 

The road to recovery from a shopping addiction is fully within your reach. You will just need to start the journey by deciding to travel that path, and when you do, I have complete confidence that you will kick this addiction to the curb once and for all. God bless.
