It started off as a harmless hobby. I had always enjoyed the thrill of hunting for a bargain, so I decided to take my shopping online. Little did I know it would become an addiction.
At first, I would spend a few hours a week browsing the internet for the best deals and discounts. I was able to get some great items for a fraction of the original price. I was hooked.
Over time, my online shopping became an obsession. I would spend hours every day looking for the perfect items. I was buying anything and everything I could get my hands on and it didn’t matter if it was a good deal or not. I just wanted to buy stuff.
Before I knew it, I was spending hundreds of dollars a month on items that I didn’t need or even use. I had become an addict. I was buying things on impulse and not even looking at the prices. I was in a state of spending frenzy and I couldn’t stop.
One month, I went overboard and spent over $5,000 on items that were total trash. I had bought so many things that I had no use for and I was in complete shock when I saw the bill. I had gone way over my budget and I felt like a fool.
I was ashamed of my actions and I felt like I had let myself down. I had gone from being a smart shopper to a reckless spender in the blink of an eye. I had become addicted to online shopping and it had taken control of my life.
I tried to cut back but I couldn’t stop. I was addicted and I couldn’t break the habit. I had become so used to the thrill of buying things that I couldn’t resist the urge to keep shopping.
I knew I needed help but I didn’t know where to turn. I was embarrassed to admit my problem and I was afraid of what other people would think. I was in too deep and I couldn’t find a way out.
I wish I had taken the time to seek help before it was too late. I never learned my lesson and my addiction to online shopping is still going strong. I’m still buying things that I don’t need and spending way too much money.
I’ve tried to quit but it’s a never-ending battle. I’m still an addict and it doesn’t seem like I’ll ever break the habit. I just keep buying things and wasting my money on trash.
