I am definitely not a shopaholic, although I like shopping.I often go to big discount stores just for fun, even though I do not have anything to buy. I feel excited to see things that draw my attention. A problem is that I tend to buy things that are not on my shopping list.

Some can go out and spend moderately or even a bit more than moderately and still not be considered addicts. A real problems is that compulsive shopping can be a disorder. The excessive need that shopaholics feel for the “pick me up” that comes from shopping can lead to an overabundance of purchases, typically that have little or no need or necessity for the shopper. Addicted shoppers just don’t feel good until they have over-gone their limit when shopping. Many excessive shoppers will compulsively spend hundreds of dollars before realizing that they have a problem and need help.
