How do you help shopaholic?

Answer

To help a shopaholic, you have to get them to stop shopping. Well, at least stop shopping EVERY DAY, or as much as they do now. You have to pull them away from the store Windows, take away their credit cards, or just make them realize THAT WHAT THEY ARE DOING KINDA STUPID BECAUSE SHOPPING ALL THE TIME IS NOT THE ANSWER. Usually when someone shops a lot, it's because they are going through a hard time in their life, so you could talk to them about that hard time, and then maybe that will cure them of their desire to shop all the time!

Answer

A person is a 'shopaholic' because they have unresolved psychological issues that they are not dealing with. The only 'help' you can provide, is to encourage them to seek professional help before they find themselves in financial disaster. Lecturing and confrontation will not get the message across. Only recognition that this is an illness that requires professional help is the message you can convey. Unfortunately, only the person with the problem can take the steps to resolve it.
