Shopaholics Anonymous

Step One: Admit that you have a problem.

Hi, my name is CJ Croll and I am a shopaholic.

I am not going to lie, I am addicted to buying shoes. You know you have a problem when you have to will yourself not to buy shoes. It is a constant struggle for me.

It is so easy for me to spend my hard-earned money on shoes. It is just a few clicks and I have a pair of TOMS in the mail. It is even harder when new TOMS come out, I want them all and I can’t have enough.

It isn’t just shoes though. I could go broke shopping. Going to Northpark on Wednesday may not have been the best idea, but it was fun either way. And I didn’t spend too much…at least that is what I keep telling myself. I did max out the amount I am aloud to take out of my checking account each day. Whoops.

Let’s face it. I needed that suit from Express. And I needed those shorts and shirt from Original Penguin. And I did love that coat at Burberry, but I didn’t have $1300 to spend on a raincoat. Maybe some day Burberry.

One of my goals in life is to be able to afford a Burberry coat. It is a good goal for a shopaholic.
