a friend of mine, which i could say has a good financial status, not rich, not poor, never did she struggle to meet her ends. a month ago a very close of our introduce us on online shopping, which she instantly grab, 3 days ago she confess to us that she is now in big debt just because she got so obssess, we visited her yesterday to check, OMG, her room is full of stuff, clothes, bags, shoes, girly stuff, and some stuff she cant even use. we helped by paying some of her bills, but now, one of our closest friend just found out she's now online and doing it again, i dont know what got over her about this online shopping that she goes so crazy about.
Im shocked and dissapointed, we just helped her and now she's putting her self into debts again.
Help, what can i do to help her, to stop her obssesion over this thing?

I think the best thing you can do is encourage her to get help; to seek therapy. Possibly intervention-style. That certainly sounds like a scary position to be in. We all have our vices, and this must be hers. I think you should express your concerns to her face, and try to get her to seek some kind of AA for shopping (they're out there!). Good luck!!

i wish i could but im afriad i would eventually hurt her if i confronted her in her obssesion; i know we worked hard for money and she deserve all the things we would buy but then again, who need all the stuff and put yourself in a deep debt and big problem; actually i just talked to her on the phone and i was easing to get her split out that shes been ordering stuff over online again, but she wont give it up; i know she is because one of my friend seen her account go online again and just purchased 4-5 things again (with 4% credit)
