Hi, Where can i find help for a shopaholic? I have called AA and looked in the telelphone book for a help line but can't seem to find anything.I live in Michigan


You may not like the sound of this but I would start by contacting a therapist, they won't necessarily say you need medications, but could possibly start a behavior therapy plan and work on the underlying issues to why you are a shopaholic. It is an addiction like a drug. Have you tried not allowing yourself to go into a store by yourself, take a friend, etc.....make a list and have the friend make you stick to it. That may be a start and call around to different therapist, they are a good resource in finding support groups for all types of disorders/addictions.
