Good idea to come hear, I find that speaking with people (other than family/friends in which I kept my little secret) helped me a lot. Also I am a shopaholic and I simply do not go to places where I know I will spend, like Macy's, JC Penney. Also keeping a journal helps as well. What I can say is disucss your issues and there is debtorsannonymous.com
Good luck
