Are you one of America's
17,000,000 Shopaholics?

• Do you use shopping as a quick fix for the blues?
• Do you spend more than you can afford?
• Are some of your purchases unused or hidden?
• Do you feel guilty or ashamed about this behavior?
• Would your life be richer if you were shopping less?
• Have your attempts to change been unsuccessful?

Shopping addiction is finally coming out of the closet!  This long smiled-upon addiction is at last recognized as a genuine, destructive, and treatable  illness.  Shopaholics and the people who love them can begin the journey to wellness right here.

If you think you have a shopping addiction or want to help someone who does, you are on the right page.
