i'm addicted to online shopping

[BlahBlahYouToo]

spending way too much time on FW and SD. I spent over $5k in the last 2 months.

i make up excuses to justify my purchases. i bought a 2nd PS3 even though my current one is working just fine.
my reasoning was that i bought a new receiver with HDMI inputs, and i would like to be able to bitstream HD over HDMI instead of using LPCM, even though I can't tell the sound quality differences between the two.
and if that reason wasn't enough, it was because i'd be saving money because the slim uses less power.

there's support groups for things like this right?

you never spent so much money to save money?

you have to ask yourself if you really have use for it or need it even if it's a "deal" before you end up like this:

If you don't get up and go to physical stores, you might get fat. We don't want you getting suicidal, so please, visit your local Target.

Find something expensive you really want and start saving up for it. A trip around the world....etc.

most of my purchases were big ticket items, like electronics so it doesn't look quite like that.
though i have been making small purchases, like a portable speaker for an mp3 player for $15. i think i'll use that like twice. once when it comes in the mail, the second time to make myself feel better about purchasing it.

i have a gym membership, and a bowflex to use at home on days i'm snowed in, like today.

Yeah, but it requires you to tuck.

Buy some really expensive stuff. Cheap stuff won't give you the sticker shock to quit.
