Shopaholic - Major help needed!

You've read the title right, i'm a shopaholic and i need help! (admitting it is a good step right?) So last night i went to watch the movie, Confessions of a Shopaholic, i've also read the books. For those who don't know Confessions of a Shopacholic is written by Sophie Kinsella, and it is a chick series of a girl who is an Shopaholic. Anyways, that is pretty much self explanatory. Is it just us girls? or do guys feel it too? When your either upset or feeling really out of it, shopping always make it better! whether your looking at that really cute dress that you don't really need, but you just want it, just in case you need something to wear for an occasion. Or when you have an event to go to, you always need something new to wear disregarding all those dresses in your closet that you've only wore once? I've never knew I was a shopaholic until watching the movie. I thought everyone spend the one I do, I guess its not the case. I spend more than i make, and my parents are always complaining, but that dont stop me. Living paycheck to paycheck because of all the money i spend on shopping doesnt stop me. So i guess i'll admit i have a mild case of a shopaholic. I just need some advice from everyone. How do you stop these urges to shop? Does anyone else feel the same way i do? (this way i know im not alone). please leave some comments. and thank you!
