How to Get Rid Compulsive Shopping Behavior?
Donald W Black, “Review of Compulsive Buying Disorder,” World Psychiatry (Feb 2007); 6(1): 14–18 recommend the followings: • Admit and realize that you’re a compulsive buyer. • Get rid of credit cards and checkbooks, because they are easy sources of funds that fuel the disorder. • Shop with a friend or relative; the presence of a person without compulsive buying behavior will help curb the tendency to overspend. • Find meaningful ways to spend one’s leisure time other than shopping.
