Credit Debt Cures

I am a serious shopoholic and my credit card debt is outrageous. Anyone know anything I can do to cure this?

I have a serious shopping addiction and I don't know how to stop. I buy things just because and if I don't have the cash, I always charge it. This is an illness for me. My credit card debt is extremely out of control and I can't seem to stop. I've tried to find a shopoholics anonymous, but haven't found one I liked. Any books out there that might help me or any other suggestions?

1. start with CUTTING UP every single one of your credit cards. this may sound weird, but shopping can be as much an addiction as alcoholism. stop charging and save ANY extra cash you may have each month and put it towards paying off bills. also, find a large bottle and start collecting coins and cashing them in when the bottle is full. believe me, it adds up after a while. you have to start somewhere, and you might as well start small. remember, getting yourself out of large debts takes time.
2. there is a reason why you are a shopaholic. you are trying to fill a void with shopping. you need a good therapist.
3. You already know what to do. You already know the answers. YOu just have a problem listening to advice. And until you do, you will never get out of debt. JUST SAY NO!
