I must start by saying that i'm very sorry for not beeing able to write you every day.Like many of you i have some priorities in life such as school, work, and other social activities and i hope i get some understanding from your side. In this post i want to treat a subject that i'm sure you heard about.It's called "Obsessive shopping : A disease?".It's true folks!!! it's a disease not yet fully recognized but in progress.Read this very clever quotation from nytimes:“At best, shopping is an activity that can promote self-definition, even healing,” Dr. Benson said in an interview on Tuesday afternoon. “But like any behavior it can spin out of control. In extreme cases, there’s no doubt it’s a disorder. It can be as dangerous as drug or alcohol addiction. Suicides have been known to occur because of debt.” But without recognized doctor support is there hope for shopaholics? While there is not (yet) a magic pill that will cure sufferers of their afflictions, there are support networks, self help books and professional therapists that will help you deal with your disorder. And as with all addictions, the first step is recognizing that you have a problem. And for the time being if you recognize yourself as a shopaholic, put down the credit card and maybe head to a neutral zone like a library or park. And hold tight, help soon may be on the way. I hope you don't missunderstand me! this post is only for the ones of you who got or still have problems because of shopping.For the rest of you my advice is to shop free and enjoy this pleasure!!!
